Daniel Jaramillo - Producer / DJ / Architect

Bio: Raised in Cuenca, Ecuador, and surrounded by the electronic and experimental sounds of Isao Tomita, Pink Floyd, and Supertramp, producer, DJ, and architect Daniel Jaramillo began his musical journey performing live across Ecuador in 2008. He later moved to Buenos Aires to complete a degree in Music Production at the EMBA Institute. During this period, under the alias Audiofillia, he released music on Soma Records and Circle Music, marking him as one of the first electronic producers from Ecuador to release internationally at that time.

From 2010 to 2014, Daniel and fellow DJs ran Shake Collective, one of the first electronic music event organizations in Cuenca. The collective engaged multidisciplinary artistry, introduced new sounds, and hosted guest DJs from abroad, opening doors for a new generation of listeners. In 2014, Jaramillo and DAZA launched Drop, a party promotion and booking brand born from a musical connection that began when they met at a party in Buenos Aires in 2008. Their shared vision evolved into a platform focused on underground events and artist development. From 2014 onward, Drop organized events across Ecuador, helping emerging DJs establish their careers and hosting underground gatherings under the name Drop Sessions. In 2017, Drop held its final large-scale event in Cuenca, featuring techno artist Alexi Delano.

Later that year, they relocated to Germany, where Daniel completed his Master’s degree in Architecture in Dessau, home of the Bauhaus. During this time, they continued Drop Sessions, organized events, and participated in the Gelb Gewinkelt sound installation at Bauhaus Fest 2018.

After moving to Berlin, Drop Sessions continued to grow, and in 2022 the label Drop Mental Music (DMM) was founded. Its first series of minimalist techno singles — Wo, Wer, Was, and Wann — were released on both vinyl and digital formats. DMM serves as a home for club-oriented and experimental electronic music, defined not by genre but by a singular focus: telling a story through sound. In 2024, the label released Galápagos EP, blending the sonic identity of the islands with deep minimal house. The release included remixes spanning ambient, breaks, minimal, and techno, reinforcing the project’s commitment to building community and connection through music.

Since 2025, the label has been fully run by Daniel Jaramillo, whose evolving sound moves fluidly from deep ambient textures to energetic breaks and driving minimal techno. Upcoming releases include works by international artists, followed by a new EP from Jaramillo scheduled for late 2026.
