ELA MENTAL

📍 she/her/hers | San Francisco, United States

ELA MENTAL (she/her/hers) is the electrifying alter ego of Daniela, a South Florida-raised, San Francisco-based DJ delivering high-bpm and rave-inspired sets. Blending a dynamic fusion of trance, techno and bounce styles, with sharp elements of psy, acid, and underground latin rhythms, her sound is a genre-bending storm built for those who crave something harder, weirder, faster. As the Bounce SF resident DJ, ELA MENTAL has played an instrumental role in bridging the West Coast rave and club scene with the global trance revival. She has supported artists like DJ Heartstring, PETERBLUE, BIIANCO, Mika Heggeman, zwilling., vizionn, Barbara Lago, and DJ Wifi. Her ability to tailor her sound for any time of night sets her apart as a DJ who puts the dancefloor first, and has solidified her role in supporting international talent performing in San Francisco. ELA MENTAL has brought her magnetism and signature feminine ferocity to underground renegades and renowned San Francisco clubs like Public Works, 1015, Club Six, F8, and Monarch, igniting the scene with every set. When off the decks, Daniela supports the electronic dance music scene as a social media manager and graphic designer.
