Dani Drops
Since the sixth grade, Dani was the staple DJ among her peers, keeping the dance floors pumping by reading the crowd and reacting quickly on a 3-disc changer. Before the birth of Napster, she had set about in an ambition to build an archive of the defining tracks of the musical culture of the time. In doing so, she uncovered trance, and perceiving it as the closest thing to modern classical music, she became taken with collecting and studying this young genre as it flourished before her eyes. By 2001, Dani was a fan of a wide range of electronic music from world lounge to drum and bass.
In 2005, she laid her hands on her first Pioneer CDJ-200s. With these she learned to mix classic, french and deep house, sharpening her ability to anticipate trends before they bloomed. Dani's desire to develop her craft drew her into Aria and Circus, where she attentively picked up DJ tricks while dancing the night away to progressive house. Driven by a nostalgia for the joy of making people dance and encouraged by the popularity of her recorded sets, Dani sought out her first gigs: mostly McGill events where she became a trusted crowd pleaser.
In 2008, with some critical acclaim under her belt, Dani Drops landed her first residency at Alkemista where she united with Sweidan to form the Head Nodders DJ duo, spinning deep and groovy tech house. Dani also often appears alongside Jackie Spade mixing minimal, tech house chunk n'roll and techno. Armed with a keen instinct for high quality dance-floor effective tracks and a knack for creative risk, Dani Drops the beats with an unwavering passion to grab a hold of you and move your body.
