Kick off the 2026 PAMMSonic DJ series and Miami Music Week with Danny Daze, Cuban-American DJ and music producer.
Steeped in Miami’s B-boy culture, Daze’s obsession with the “raw and unpolished” began with classic electro and Miami bass, eventually fueling his deep dive into the experimental Dutch and Detroit techno scenes of the ’90s. Drawing inspiration from powerhouse labels like Schematic, Interdimensional Transmissions, and Viewlexx, Daze brings a sonic edge that is both raw and unapologetically authentic. Before the set, enjoy a tour in the galleries and grab a happy hour snack and drink at our waterfront restaurant Verde.
About Danny Daze
Daniel Gomez adopted his Daze moniker early on at his mother’s suggestion. Practicing on a set-up she bought him, Daze was spinning at weddings by age 14, funneling his earnings into vinyl to play raves on the side. That eventually led to producing his first tracks in 2004 on a cracked version of Fruity Loops and later that year, he jumpstarted an electro/techno white label called Omniamm.
Daze’s risk-taking and punk approach is at the core of everything he does and it’s part of the ethos of his current label, Omnidisc. As a DJ and producer, Daze favors the “raw and unpolished” over chart-topping hits. It’s also this freeform and experimental approach, together with an element of surprise, that sets him apart from the pack as both a DJ and producer.
As a DJ, he prefers to express his versatility across long sets. He is known to cut and weave from electro to techno into Italo disco, into a record by Yazoo deliberately intended to provoke a reaction.
As a producer, his output ranges from releases on Kompakt’s Speicher series, to remixes on Phantasy, Comeme, Monkeytown and more. This radical commitment to authenticity extends far beyond the dance floor. Whether he is scoring runways for John Elliott, manipulating audio for Apple, or designing sound for global fashion campaigns, Daze remains obsessed with breaking boundaries. His approach may seem volatile, but it is deeply intentional—a constant pursuit of musical integrity and “out of the box” experimentation.
