MEET DANIELA Deep Playa and Her Name is Shakti Founder and resident DJ Daniela books the talent, manages the Deep Playa and Shakti community, dreams up wild sunrise shenanigans, and works on event collaborations. She learned to DJ in 2001 while working at an independent record store in NYC. She fell in love with dance music before she was a teenager and with over 20 years of experience dancing and playing music around the globe, she prides herself on vast musical knowledge and her ability to weave many different genres into her sets, from deep, tribal, nomadic playatech, to acid house to organic house, melodic breakbeat, progressive, disco house, italodisco, and so much more. If you know your dance music, you'll always be able to trainspot a classic in her sets. She lives to play sunrise sets on the beach, her favorite place in the world (besides Black Rock City!) FROM THE ARTIST From a very young age, music was my emotional outlet. I started playing piano at age 3 and I don't know if I would be alive today if it weren't for my piano. I trained to be a professional pianist starting when I was 16 but stopped when I was 21, realizing I had other professional aspirations. Since then I began to play guitar and drums and then in 2020, I came out of DJ retirement and it was the best decision I made for myself in a long time. I love playing sunrise sets because it offers an opportunity to span many different genres as the light comes in, changes the scenery, thus changing our moods and mindsets. Curating music is a dance between the DJ and the crowd, balancing who is leading and who is following— sometimes the DJ leads the crowd, and sometimes you read the crowd and follow their lead. We all know music is a form of communication, of expression. My songs are my love letters: I write them for you. DEEP PLAYA Ideas for Deep Playa and its evolution come to me in dreams and in spiritual visions while meditating for example (and sometimes randomly, like at the gym.) But on a deeper level, it relates to my childhood and to family. I grew up constantly surrounded by family-- I was raised by the proverbial village, and community is everything to me. We're all just subconsciously recreating childhood memories, just like David Mancuso was, unknowingly for a long time, with The Loft parties. So I always think of some fun thing that brings us back to childhood, like a 14-foot trampoline appearing at sunrise, or a slip-n-slide that goes right into the ocean, or a 20-foot long jump rope, or bubble guns. It's another way to spread love and to remind everyone of their loving innocence, their child heart that they should never lose. The energy and love you emit attract your people. It's always heart and nothing else. Deep Playa is my heart outside of my body. It's our baby and it's growing up so fast. We had a vision for what Deep Playa was going to be and how it was going to be, but now its taken a life of its own-- it and its people teach us how to be and what it desires.

Parallel Preservation / G-Ron bio and backstory ElectronicRhythm.com: An artist who blends deep expressive techno with emotive hypnotic electronica, known for his passion for mystical storytelling. With a keen eye for detail and a unique, vibrant approach, he infuses each project with rich depth. A seasoned creator, he captivates audiences by seamlessly merging genres, crafting cohesive and immersive experiences that feel both otherworldly and grounded in reality. "The origins of ElectronicRhythm.com trace back to a deep-rooted passion for electronic music and the desire to share its power with a global audience. The movement began with a vision to not only create high-quality music but also to make it accessible to people everywhere, transcending borders and bringing fans together through the universal language of rhythm. From the very beginning, the dream was clear: bring music to the masses and create an experience that would resonate with people from all walks of life. As the movement evolved, it expanded to encompass not just the production of tracks, but the thrill of performing live shows worldwide. Each performance became an opportunity to connect directly with fans, to build a community, and to spread the infectious energy of electronic music. At the heart of the movement is G-Ron, the Resident DJ and Producer, whether spinning vinyl or mixing digitally, G-Ron’s craft has always been about delivering an authentic and seamless sound, blending skillful techniques with a deep knowledge of music, ensuring that every set is an immersive journey. With a mission to break down barriers and deliver unforgettable sonic experiences, ElectronicRhythm.com remains a cornerstone of the electronic music scene, built on the vision of making music truly accessible to all.” FROM THE ARCHIVES OF TONIC SOUL SESSIONS – What is the NYC ‘Tonic Soul’ Radio Show? In the vibrant and ever-evolving NYC nightlife scene, there was a time when electronic music stood as an outsider, a genre fighting to carve its own niche in the world of clubs, bars, and private events. Those who were passionate about this revolutionary style of music—rich with future rhythms—had to be relentless in their search for it. Whether it was the underground raves, secret warehouse parties, or small venues that dared to host these experimental beats, the pursuit of electronic music was often an intimate, guerrilla experience. This movement wasn’t just a trend, but a mission to share the future of sound. Techno, which is now a globally recognized genre, once had to battle for exposure and acceptance. It wasn’t the mainstream choice, and yet the beats, the atmosphere, and the energy were undeniably contagious. In response to this void the *Tonic Soul Live Internet Radio Show* was born—an essential platform created to broadcast the music pulsing through the underground dance floors of New York City. If you heard it on *Tonic Soul*, you knew it was the same music that had been spun at the hottest parties around town. This wasn’t just a radio show—it was a lifeline to the vibrant, evolving soundscape that was still finding its footing. It was a journey told through vinyl, pushing the message that a new, transformative era of music had arrived. No genre was off-limits. Whether it was techno, house, drum and bass, jungle, breaks, electro, or ambient, *Tonic Soul* made sure the world knew what was happening in these underground circles. The show became a critical platform for anyone who loved these forward-thinking genres to discover the latest sounds and movements from the scene. Broadcasted live from Altruist Studios with NYC native DJ G-Ron at the helm, *Tonic Soul Radio Show* was a weekly ritual. G-Ron, who also goes by his latest moniker Parallel Preservation, is an artist at heart—commanding two turntables and effect processors, he created a sonic landscape that reflected the spirit of the night. Each week, the show was not just about the beats—it was about connecting the dots between those passionate about the music and the artists themselves. G-Ron also brought in guest DJs, producers, and artists, giving them a platform to reach the growing audience hungry for these new sounds. As the world around them began to shift, the show’s recorded sets were shared online on G-Ron’s website, G-Ron.com, which later evolved into the now-renowned ElectronicRhythm.com. Sadly, after 52 episodes, the *Tonic Soul Radio Show* came to an end due to studio relocation and funding constraints. But like many movements before it, this chapter closed only to give way to something greater. The legacy of *Tonic Soul* paved the way for the creation of *ElectronicRhythm.com’s Underground Movement Show*, an evolution that allowed the platform to continue pushing the boundaries of electronic music. With technology progressing rapidly, *ElectronicRhythm.com* embraced the ability to broadcast live video and make its content accessible to a global audience through all mobile devices. The website partnered with *The-Lost-Art.com* and later *Mixtube.dj*, opening the door to a global stage where artists from around the world could showcase their work. It was no longer just about radio shows—*ElectronicRhythm.com* became a true movement, connecting and elevating artists, producers, and performers, all while keeping that original, underground spirit alive. Today, *ElectronicRhythm.com* continues its mission to provide a platform for both established and emerging talents. Join the movement, as we amplify voices, share new sounds, and honor the legacy of those who, like DJ G-Ron and the *Tonic Soul Radio Show*, took a stand for the future of electronic music. The journey is far from over—it’s just getting started.Their RA profile lists Traum Schallplatten, Dance Through Life Records and Jyre Records.“'This level of density would not make sense if there was no sound to this physicality, therefore I create sounds to take us wherever we want.'”
