Danny Avila

Hailing from Madrid, Danny Avila crafts and performs an intense, theatrical style of electronic music he terms mainstage techno. Emerging as a teenager during the early 2010s, he has explored an array of high-impact big room styles across his career, spanning electro-house, trance, and trap. Standout releases have featured 2015's "Cream" alongside Tujamo, 2017's "LOCO" with NERVO and Reverie, and 2018's "Too Good to Be True" that paired him with the Vamps and Machine Gun Kelly. Shifting focus toward techno after initial dance-pop experiments, he issued cuts such as 2023's "The Procedure" with Heerhorst and "My Crew" featuring Flowdan.

Born in Marbella, Spain, Avila began DJing at age 12 and turned to production shortly thereafter. Relocating to Madrid to pursue a career behind the decks, he secured club gigs in the city well before reaching the legal entry age. His technical prowess and youthful drive drew notice from Tiësto, who booked him for a shared bill at Pacha Ibiza. This led to worldwide tours supporting both Tiësto and Calvin Harris, plus repeated appearances at major EDM festivals. Avila became the youngest artist to contribute a mix CD for DJ Magazine when the publication featured his Big Room Mix in its September 2012 edition. He issued singles via Big Beat Records, Spinnin' Records, and Dim Mak while also handling the second disc of the 2013 double-CD compilation Ibiza Calling. Residencies in Barcelona and Las Vegas came next, coinciding with regular episodes of his Ready to Jump podcast series. Remixes for Gavin James and Tiësto surfaced in 2017, the same year "LOCO" arrived with NERVO and Reverie.

Avila explored dance-pop territory through the 2018 singles "Too Good to Be True," which featured the Vamps and Machine Gun Kelly, and "End of the Night." Additional festival-oriented tracks arrived in 2019, including "Fat Beat" with Will Sparks, "Keep It Goin'" alongside Deorro, and a cover of Chic's "Good Times." A dance rendition of Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" followed in 2020, joined that year by the anthemic "My Love" and "Bleeding Love" with Ekko City. Further vocal-focused releases such as "Hometown Heroes" and "Searchlight" appeared in 2021. Avila then entered a fresh phase by debuting his Mainstage Techno Radio mix podcast and adopting a denser, cinematic techno aesthetic. Tracks like "Sagrada Familia" and "Pantheon" emerged in 2022, while 2023 yielded "Notre Dame," the acid-tinged "The Procedure" with Heerhorst, and the Flowdan collaboration "My Crew."
