Berlin via Jo'burg: Daniella Da Silva brings serious techno heat to Nerve in Melbourne.
Berlin-based DJ and producer Daniella Da Silva is touching down at Nerve, Melbourne, and she’s bringing an absolute wall of sound with her.
Daniella Da Silva has made the kind of career moves that take most artists a decade to pull off. The Johannesburg-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer spent years cutting her teeth across three continents, playing HÖR, H13 and Rausch & Flausch in Berlin, Nave 01 in Madrid, and tearing through India’s biggest rooms before planting her flag in Europe’s techno capital.
Trained in production at Soul Candi in Johannesburg, Da Silva’s sets sit in the same lane as her studio output: dense, driving, high-octane techno. This isn’t background music. It’s the kind of stuff designed to rearrange your internal organs at volume.

The night runs across two rooms and an outdoor rooftop area, running all night long on a state-of-the-art DNB sound system. Support comes from Kill/Mill, RØSAH, LunaJ and Aman, and the whole thing is presented in partnership with Vibrancy.
Melbourne’s Kill/Mill (aka Nick Milledge) is a techno producer and DJ rooted in schranz and groove, drawing inspiration from the early 2010s sounds of artists like SlugoS, Jan Fleck and Instigator, as well as techno heavyweights Dax J, Chlar and Anetha. Rapidly rising through Melbourne’s ranks, he’s carving out a reputation for sets built on industrial textures, heavy low-end and unpredictable groove.
RØSAH, LunaJ and Aman round out the support lineup; three acts worth getting there early for and keeping an eye on as Melbourne’s underground scene continues to throw up fresh talent.
Drinks are well looked after too, with $6 Carlton, $10 Alizé and Agwa, $11 vodkas, $11 basics and $12 South Ave’s on offer.
