Daniel Danieli, known under the moniker Daniel[i], is a Belgian producer and live artist based in Aachen, Germany. Rooted in a deep connection to sound and nature, his music carries an introspective quality that invites listeners to explore immersive sonic landscapes. Through intricate layers of analog textures and field recordings, Daniel[i] crafts hypnotic compositions that flow seamlessly between ambient and deep techno realms.

A self-taught musician with a background in drumming, Daniel discovered electronic music production in 2006. Starting with breakbeats and glitch-inspired sounds, he gradually gravitated toward the meditative pulse of 4/4 rhythms and dub influences. This journey of exploration and evolution has shaped his distinct signature, where organic and synthetic elements merge into fluid, evolving patterns.

Daniel[i] has shared his vision through releases on respected labels such as Semantica, Alpenglühen, and 012, as well as on his own platform, Whispering Signals. The label reflects his fascination with the hidden “whispers” of sound, offering two series of releases: the vinyl-focused WHS, emphasizing deep and rhythmic explorations, and the digital sub-label HLIN (HOWLONGISNOW), dedicated to meditative ambient works.

Live performance is a vital part of Daniel’s artistry, and his sets, featured at iconic venues like Tresor or through collaborations with Sebastian Mullaert’s Circle of Live, are a testament to his ability to connect deeply with audiences. Guided by improvisation, his live approach bridges analog warmth with digital precision, creating spontaneous flows that reflect his curiosity and emotional depth.

In addition to his solo work, Daniel has been a key member of NoName, a collective behind Belgium’s La Nature Festival (formerly NoName Festival). Through this platform, he continues to curate and nurture a shared musical vision, bringing together artists and audiences around the transformative power of sound.

Humble and deeply committed to his craft, Daniel[i] remains dedicated to uncovering the subtleties in sound, always seeking new ways to inspire introspection and connection through his music.
