EG: Hi Arianna! Welcome back to EG. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. How have you been? Where are you right now?
Arianna Danae: Hi EG! Happy to be here. I’m currently in Brooklyn, New York. Enjoying my time at home going back-to-back with my doggo, Baby Portia.
EG: So, ADE is just around the corner, which has us all very excited! What are your plans this time around? What mischief will you be up to?
Arianna Danae: Oh, ADE is coming up quickly and I couldn’t be more excited for my second year! Going to have a few industry meetings, tons of party hopping (why can’t I clone myself?!), and lots of rijsttafel & stroopwafels.
EG: And, of course, you’ll be a part of our ADE Week 2023 Fundraiser, which will take place on Thursday, October 19th, seeking to raise funds for AnimalRIghts.NL! What can we expect from your performance?
Arianna Danae: Getting ready to groove on October 19th! My performance will be a musical rollercoaster, mixing the flavors of authentic Armenian heritage with the wild energy of New York City. Expect a vibrant fusion that celebrates diversity while we raise the roof and funds for AnimalRights.NL. Join the party, and let’s dance with a purpose!
EG: Speaking about playing…What track has been doing the rounds the most in your recent sets? Why?
Arianna Danae: I’ve been rinsing Nathan Haines feat. Verna Francis’s ‘Earth Is The Place (Restless Soul Peaktime Mix)’ in a lot of my sets, the bassline is very groovy and the vocal resonates with me over 20 years after its release.

EG: Speaking about tracks and music… What’s your favorite music memory?
Arianna Danae: When I played Boiler Room in my hometown of Boston this year, was a special one for me because I was surrounded by my mom, sister, brother, and cousins! Definitely, a core memory I will cherish forever.
EG: What are three essential items you always carry in your DJ bag?
Arianna Danae: Music and headphones obviously, but I always have some candy on hand. That’s not code for something, actual candy because I have a serious sugar addiction (laughter).
EG: Finally, what’s the one thing you’re most looking forward to at Electronic Groove’s ADE Week event this year?
Arianna Danae: Connecting with all of my industry friends and getting inspired by some talented artists!
EG: Thank you for your time, we can’t wait to catch up at our ADE Week event! See you soon!
Arianna Danae: Appreciate you having me EG, looking forward to October 19th!
