Arianna Danae

53 listings in 19 named rooms, over the last three years

Brooklyn-based DJ Arianna Danae brings an unmistakable New York energy to the dance floor, shaped by her Armenian heritage and a lifelong curiosity for music. Guided by instinct rather than convention, she approaches every set with an ear for the unexpected, weaving together timeless records, forgotten gems, and fresh discoveries to create moments that feel both familiar and entirely new.

Since emerging from Brooklyn’s underground scene in 2018, Arianna has built a reputation as a thoughtful selector and respected voice within the community. She found her first home at Jupiter Disco with her monthly Rebelle party, which laid the groundwork for her career in artist programming and event curation. From there, she became a resident at Flash in Washington, D.C., later expanding into booking and programming before joining the programming team at Elsewhere in Brooklyn. She is also a longtime resident of Laylit, the internationally celebrated party championing music and culture from North Africa, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia.

The rest of it — one more paragraph

Whether introducing audiences to an unexpected record or giving new life to a familiar classic, Arianna’s sets are driven by curiosity, connection, and a belief that the best dance floors are built through trust, taste, and musical discovery.

Their rooms

One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.

Once each: Koukla Espresso Bar, Knockdown Center, LoHi, Xanadu, Jupiter Disco, H0L0, MAD Radio NYC, Industry City, Circle Line Cruises, Black Flamingo and Windham Mountain Club. Four of the 53 listings never named a room, and are not counted as one.

Who they play with

Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
