Introducing: Danny Avila

Danny Avila, the 16-year-old Spanish DJ and producer who recently floored clubbers in London and Germany with astonishing debut performances alongside the likes of Fedde le Grand and Martin Solveig, announced today his official summer residency at Blue Marlin Ibiza.

The iconic venue, which each year plays host to the beautiful, the jet-set and the who’s who of Balearic royalty, welcomes Avila as their youngest ever resident – and in doing so adds its weight to the growing numbers inside the industry swiftly touting Danny as one of the most exciting talents to hit house for years.

To give you just a taste of what Blue Marlin can expect from Avila, check out his official video from Ministry of Sound in London. Making his first ever UK appearance at the express invitation of le Grand for the Dutchman’s roadblock Takeover party back in February, his two and a half hour set blew the capital’s collective clubbing mind. In the words of one London clubber, “Danny Avila was the madness – he’s one of the DJs of the year!”

New Video: Fedde Le Grand – “So Much Love”

Fedde said: “Preparing my Summer Takeover tour sets, I always like to do some rework of existing tracks. One of the tracks that came by was “So Much Love To Give” by Together (aka Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon), which uses a sample from “Love Is Such A Wonderful Thing” by the 70’s disco act The Real Thing. That original track was embedded on one of the first funk albums I bought, and I’ve listened to it since I was about 13, which is why the “Together” version has always been such an inspiration to me. The first live reactions were great, and I’m happy to see a lot of people now look for my version of this all time classic!
The track, released through long-time label collaborators Toolroom, is already proving to be one of the Dutchman’s biggest ever hits, and follows in the wake of Missing, Autosave and Metrum as his fourth #1 on Beatport this year alone.
2011 has now firmly cemented itself as the year of le Grand. His productions have come thick and fast since he took to his new studio in January. With his summer Takeover Tour, a residency at the world’s number 1 club Space, debut gigs at Coachella and EXIT, North and South American tours and his constant criss-crossing of the European circuit, fans and critics have been blown away by Fedde’s exhilarating energy in the mix as much as by his unbeatable prowess in the studio.
