Daniela Presta

I’m Italian, from Turin. The trance music I love is passionate, deeply felt, and very personal. The songs I write and the covers I create mirror the different stages of my life: specific memories and vivid images are tied to each one. Fundamentally, I only produce tracks I’d want to listen to myself: I start with the emotion I’d want to feel as a listener and build the song around it. I listen to a huge amount of music. Music is the central axis around which my entire existence revolves. I love tracks that start gently and progressively build in intensity until they explode into the drop. Ideally, for me, the perfect song should have a moment of intimacy—of collective connection and synergy with the audience—a moment of catharsis and purification, and a moment of euphoria: that instant when the drop hits and inhibitions fall away—the moment of dancing. To me, trance music is a journey we take together, a journey that leaves you changed, so you aren't the same person you were before. So, all this is to say: if you’re listening to my songs while studying for a tough exam, going for a run to get back in shape, or sitting alone in your room trying to get through a dark time, know that I am right there with you, heart and soul. You can do whatever you want, be whoever you wish—the only thing that matters is doing it at 138 BPM. Sending you a big hug.
