021 - BENZA

(interview below)
BENZA is an emerging talent from Madrid who is rapidly growing in the scene thanks to his productions. From deep to groove, his sets and productions are characterised by a raw and futuristic sound that pursues a single goal, to bring energy and movement to the dancefloor. A resident of the Madrid-based collective Symbole Community, BENZA currently lives in Berlin, where he continues developing his artistic career.

INTERVIEW
You're originally from Madrid, but you've been living in Berlin since last year. How has that influenced you and your sound?

Berlin’s been like a playground for learning. I’ve been around so many artists in all kinds of clubs, and it’s really opened my perspective. Being surrounded by so much music has pushed me to experiment more and carve out my own space. My sound has become more minimal and emotional, and I’d like to think a bit more intentional, trying to do more with less.

How do you go about producing new tracks? Do you have a specific routine or method?

I wish I had a routine, but honestly, I don’t. I just go into the studio, press some buttons here and there, and hope something comes out. It’s kind of like fishing, you never know what you’ll catch, but you just keep trying until something bites. It’s all about experimenting and seeing what sticks. Lately though, I’ve been trying to build a habit of learning something new every day and then making a track with it.

You're a resident DJ at Symbole. How would you describe a typical night at Symbole in Madrid?

Symbole is home. It feels familiar, cared for, and authentic. I might be a bit biased since I’m a resident, but honestly, I think it’s one of the most wholesome events you can find. The nights are musically diverse and dynamic, giving space both to established artists and emerging talent, and the focus is always on quality, not just in the music, but in the overall experience. One of the things I love most about Symbole is that there’s always this drive to improve and keep evolving.

DVLB PODCAST - 006

dainshi, a DJ with South Korean roots, delivers a hypnotic blend of techno—raw, mental, and soulful. Her sets are rich in contrast and depth, moving fluidly between deep, leftfield textures and driving, introspective rhythms, with moments that drift into subtle shades of melancholy. Guided by a strong sense of narrative progression, she crafts sonic journeys that both challenge and captivate. She has meanwhile played at renowned clubs in Germany and Switzerland, such as Tresor, Kater Blau, Renate, and Elysia. After several years of DJing and working behind the scenes in Freiburg and Basel, she has now relocated to Berlin. She is also a member of A–ZN, a newly founded network and community for music artists of the Asian diaspora.
