When a true selector takes flight, it sounds as though they re-mould each track to fit their specific vision. That’s exactly the effect Danielle has as a DJ, as she reaches across stylistic divides to pursue the sounds that speak her language. In her hands, myriad splinters of techno, electro, dubstep, breakbeat, jungle, ambient and experimental music can slot together, but more crucially its the endless wells of misfits that fall between those generic signposts which give her sets the edge.

It’s logical her tastes would be omnivorous – Danielle spent 10 years working at fabled London record shop Phonica, one of the definitive destinations for club music in the city. She’s since worked at the most vital dance music record shop in her hometown of Bristol,

Idle Hands. Being across new releases week in, week out is one thing, but knowing how to stitch them together is another.Danielle’s DJing has touched upon vital events, venues and locations around the world, from touring the US and playing flagship festivals like Glastonbury, Dimensions, Kala and Love Saves The Day, to clubs like DC10, Fabric, Oval Space, Pickle Factory and Ohm, and for parties as revered as Timedance, Herrensauna and Livity Sound. In tandem, her skills have been recognised by key publications including Mixmag, DJ Mag (she was nominated as a best breakthrough DJ in 2020) and Resident Advisor.

Beyond her own DJ work (she’s also a frequent contributor to many a mix series), Danielle also takes the time to impart her experience and knowledge to the next generation via her classes at Mix Nights – a non-profit organisation she helped set up five years ago to encourage women and non-binary people to explore the art of DJing.

Danielles uttrykk strekker seg mellom techno, electro, dubstep, breakbeat, jungle, ambient og eksperimentell musikk, men ikke minst henter hun inspirasjon fra alt det som faller mellom kategoriene, og det er nettopp dette som gjør henne til en høyst visjonær, kreativ og umiskjennelig DJ. Som platepusher gjennom ti år på den legendariske platebutikken Phonica i London – og nå like sagnomsuste Idle Hands i hjembyen Bristol – har Danielle utviklet et skarpt øre med umiddelbar teft for å lappe sammen et DJ-sett det står respekt av.

Hun har spilt verden rundt, på store festivaler som Glastonbury og legendariske konsepter som Herrensauna og Livity Sound, og har høstet lovord i DJ Mag, Mixmag og Resident Advisor. Som om ikke det var nok, tar Danielle samfunnsansvaret sitt på større alvor enn de fleste, og holder jevnlig kurs gjennom den frivillige organisasjonen Mix Nights, som lærer bort kunsten å Dje til kvinner og ikke-binære.
