Dani Casarano’s musical vision is impossible to be classified. His uniquely individual sound with a touch of pure emotive soul and sullen mystery, characterise his cutting-edge approach to techno.
Born in Switzerland and based out of Santiago, Chile for over a decade is currently juggling between his home in Lausanne and his Studio in Berlin. During the years spent in Chile, he met his brother from another motherland, Felipe Valenzuela, and in 2009 they established Melisma Records. With Melisma Dani commitment to set his musical trends rather than follow them was finally set. Creativity and visionary large-scale efforts helped Melisma to become the institution it is today counting on artists like Ricardo Villalobos, Thomas Melchior, Fumiya Tanaka and Satoshi Tomiie among many others.
Throughout his life as producer Dani spent endless hours blending his sophisticate techno with lush funky sounds and earthy Latin American undertones, creating a formidable number of tracks which have been released on prestigious labels such Cadenza, Drumma, Melisma, Connaisseur Recordings and SAW, and so forth. His recent studio fruitful period saw a dense number of remarkable productions alongside Luciano for “Bell\’s & Tonic” on Cadenza, Alexkid, Argenis Brito, Felipe Valenzuela for “Count three” on Drumma Records and “Ritual” and EP made with one of the fellow Melisma talent, Jakco Mosqueira, on Tzinah Records.
As a result of his initiative and continuous movement, he has grown exponentially all along his career performing in venues as DC10 (Ibiza), Berlin’s underground Club der Visionaere, Sankeys (Ibiza), besides being one of the most craved DJ for Next Wave parties all around Europe and holding is label night residency at Hoppetosse ( Berlin) and La Ruche (Switzerland).
His DJ side is a combination of tribal rhythm, perpetual swing informed by a seductive musicality, always with a steady approach with organic and acoustic elements. His outstanding receptiveness and connection with everything around him makes Dani an all-terrain DJ who is able to create a unique synergy within the audience, the spinning records and the club’s atmosphere, leading the energies with what unites us all … the music!
