Danja

Danja’s journey into music began in the early ’90s, immersed in the subcultural sounds of jungle and rave culture. With a father who was an avid Drum & Bass DJ and decks in his bedroom, Danja naturally gravitated toward mixing records. By 2005, he discovered dubstep, diving deep into the genre and curating a record collection that reflected his eclectic taste.
Though he stepped away from DJing in 2008, Danja reignited his passion in 2017, driven by a resurgence of artists reviving classic jungle vibes. His influences span punk, hip hop, reggae, dubstep, techno, breaks, jungle, and Drum & Bass, all of which converge in his distinctive DJ sets. Each performance is a meticulously crafted journey through bass, beats, and breaks, seamlessly blending foundational sounds with cutting-edge productions.
As a resident DJ for Planet Wax, Danja's 'Depth Perception' show channels the raw, underground energy of ’90s jungle while championing contemporary sounds. His sets celebrate the timeless spirit of rave culture, offering listeners a dynamic mix of past and present that’s sure to ignite the dancefloor.
With his diverse influences and deep respect for the music’s roots, Danja is a selector who guarantees an unforgettable sonic experience.
