Dani is a purveyor of soulful and sublime progressive grooves. Her sound is an explosion of hypnotic rhythms and percussive tribal instruments, which are easy on the ears and demanding of the feet! 

She’s been lighting up dance floors for the past 14 years with her uplifting and unique take on the progressive sound. Her journey began as a desire to play a more upbeat eclectic chillout selection, but she was soon drawn into the progressive world and mixing a blend of progressive beats became her new passion.

She’s manoeuvered her way around some of the most exciting clubs and parties in the capital including Tribal Village, Elixir of Life and Fox&Badge and has enjoyed playing in the great outdoors at events such as Noisily, Chrysalid, Sunrise, Waveform and Eden festivals in the UK as well as Psy Boutique Festival in Turkey. A major highlight was opening the main stage at the HillTop Festival in Goa, India - a dream come true! She was also a resident DJ for OmLiquid, which ran for many years at the InSpiral Lounge in Camden. 

Catch Dani play and prepare to be taken to a seducing and mind-tingling dream-world.. you won’t want to come back!
