DJ Lelewel

Daniele Davoli (aka DJ Lelewel) was one of the pioneers of the Italian House sound and had major success with Black Box, who were responsible for one of the biggest dance tracks of all time - Ride On Time. The single became the first of a series of Italian house records to crossover to the UK charts, staying at Number 1 for six weeks and becoming the best selling song of 1989 in the UK and is still one of the best-selling dance records of all time. At one point Daniele had three tracks under three separate guises in the UK Top 10 in the same week with Black Box, Starlight (Numero Uno) and Mixmaster (Grand Piano).. No mean feat I'm sure you'll agree! Born in northern Italy, Daniele started DJing at the infamous club Marabu’/Starlight in his hometown of Reggio Emilia. He first came to the UK on the back of the success of Black Box, who sold over five million records world-wide, and was soon honoured by being chosen as resident of the legendary, ground breaking club the Hacienda in Manchester where he began wearing his trademark hats. He went on to become one of the biggest and most popular names on the UK club scene playing everywhere from Renaissance, Cream and Hard Times and so on, you name a place and he's been there... For over 20 years Daniele has played in Ibiza where he has become one of the veterans of the island playing every summer at all the main clubs; Pacha, Amnesia, Eden, Space and back in the day also for Manumission and as resident for 3 years for Perfecto.
