David Aurel - No Daylight

Home for iconic house-deep, house, tech house label Time Has Changed

Julian Sánchez, better known as Sonata, began his journey in electronic music at the age of 15 in Monterrey, Nuevo León. Over time, he has developed a style that blends the power of Techno, the energy of House, and the depth of hypnotic sounds—always with the intention of connecting with the dance floor and making people move.

Throughout his career, he has released music through various projects on labels such as UD Records. Currently, with his project as Sonata, he founded his own label, Striva, where he promotes sounds ranging from high-energy House to Peak Time, Raw/Deep/Hypnotic. In addition to continuing to explore his musical identity, he seeks to collaborate with other labels and artists to expand his sound.

Although his music has mainly resonated in the local scene, he has shared flyers with well-known artists and performed in cities like Monterrey and Playa del Carmen, appearing at Circo Sonoro, Topaz Deluxe, French Fried, APARATO, and La Old School Mainstage, among other underground events and after-parties.

His music is designed for the dance floor: more than introspective or laid-back, Sonata focuses on energy and rhythm—perfect for non-stop dancing.

He is currently pushing Striva forward, preparing new releases, and developing his radio show Striva Sessions, while continuing to explore his sound and connect with the audience.
