Biografía
- Drunky Daniels is a duo Brazilian musicians who talk about themselves. A mix of house and techno with native elements.Drunky Daniels are two DJs and music producers of the dance music business, with 15 years of experience on spreading good music, all over the world. Ella Whatt and Vini Ferreira collect no less than 140 releases, by renowned labels such as Seres Produções, Toolroom and Warung Records. In 2014 they received the title of Artists of the Year by the DMC Magazine, specializing in DJ culture. With a large repertoire signing European-style house, tech-house and techno releases, Ella and Vini were suddenly hooked on something bigger than themselves: their roots. They found that every Brazilian has a rich musical heritage within, and the sound of the land where they were born has more to do with Drunky Daniels' references than they ever thought possible. After some successful tests on dance floors throughout Brazil, as well as in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, they decided to release more organic and soulful new music, surrounded with Afro influences and a bit of Brazilian spice - which was a pleasant surprise for the crowd and also for DJs around the world who closely follow their releases. The result has been remarkable ever since. In 2018, Drunky Daniels' first Afro House release - '’Ça Loca', a track co-created with Albuquerque - was the signature of the BPM Festival Portugal official video. In the same year, "Gamboa" reached the Top 20 best selling Afro House track at Beatport. Beginning 2019, "Rebolado" EP was among the 10 best selling at Traxsource overall ranking. At Beatport, the EP hit the top 5 bestsellers of the genre. But the best was yet to come. Drunky Daniels' first album, "Zabumba", was released in July 2019 and achieved an unprecedented feat: it was voted "Album of the Week" by Traxsource, selected from hundreds of releases worldwide. The album mixes the organicity of Brazilian instruments with an Afro-Futurist aesthetics, harmonized with creamy house and techno beats. "Zabumba", named after a Brazilian music instrument, doesn't lack of personality, presenting itself as an album where each track is present by a reason - something quite rare in the electronic music universe. No wonder, this fresh authorial work has conquered dance floors and cases of artists as diverse as Black Coffee (South Africa), Hot Since 82 (UK) and Hyenah (Sweden).
