Classy, understated dance music from two highly experienced operators

Two DJs with deep roots in club culture and dance music, Danielle and Ryan Elliott both prefer the spaces in between. Not house, nor techno; loose but not sloppy; not exactly classic, but not entirely modern; deep yet immediate.  

 

Danielle spent over a decade working at famed record shop Phonica, before setting herself up in Bristol where she worked for similarly iconic store Idle Hands. Her ties to Bristol already ran deep: local lynchpin Peverelist had been one of the first to spot her talent, tapping her to play parties for his famed Livity Sound label. Ryan cut his teeth in Detroit before making the jump to Berlin, where he held down residencies at both Berghain and Panorama Bar, as well as legendary Offenbach venue Robert Johnson.
 

Versatility comes baked in with that kind of experience, so when they come to Sónar 2026, expect a free-flowing, understated session that will prove that good dance music never goes out of style.
