Daniele Papini

Artist Bio

Daniele has a passion for music and this is evident when you first meet him. This man lives and breathes music so much that his home is just one big studio. Daniele started Djing during his early 20’s and quickly gained a residency in several clubs in Florence in the late 90’s. Soon after he secured guest DJ slots at many clubs around Europe.

His passion for DJing and music soon turned into a want to produce and after a chance meeting with Alen Sforzina in Croatia founded the GraFit Project. Their first collaborations were released on Italian labels like Urban Mantra and German labels such as Stadtwald and Toneman. In 2004 he start to work hard in studio and during this period, walking through the backyards of techno music, Daniele met Italian DJ and producer, Riccardo Ferri who in turn introduced him to the Alchemy Records family.

In 2006 Mauro Picotto asked Daniele to join the Meganite crew as a DJ. Daniele agreed and his DJ career once again took off and he was performing all over the world again touring with the Meganite brand. Over the last 5 years Meganite has become a well respected brand, not only in its home in Ibiza but worldwide and Daniele has been at the forefront of their parties.

Hard work in the studio has definitely paid off with Daniele releasing one of the biggest tunes of the summer, ‘Church of Nonsense’. Released in May 2008, just before the summer, it rapidly became an all-time techno anthem. Church of Nonsense received great feedback from every top DJ, topping the charts on the Beatport techno chart and the DJ Mag downloads chart. Daniele is currently working on several solo projects and remixes, collaborating with other artists from electronic music to indie music and working on a Live set.
