Moving far away from her home at an early age to Zürich, Switzerland, Daniela found herself longing to touch base with her South African roots. Growing up listening to classical music and playing the flute and piano, she began creating her own electronic music, aiming to radiate positivity and exotic vibes through her emotive productions. 2009 saw the beginnings of her musical career, releasing her debut tracks via the Enormous Tunes and Tonkenish imprints. Her breakthrough track ‘Come With Me’ catapulted her into the spotlight in 2013. Sparking wide interest in her sound, the track received extensive support from the biggest tastemakers in the game and captivated a large and ever-growing legion of loyal fans. Collaborating with the likes of Wretch 32, The Aston Shuffle, Adrian Lux and Klingande, Nora infiltrated herself further and further into the depths of the dance music scene.
Gracing the decks of some of the most coveted dance music spots on the planet over the years, Nora has played sets at the likes of Ultra Music Festival Miami, Mysteryland USA, Webster Hall NYC and Privilege Ibiza. Her remarkable release schedule introduced an array of fan favorites, including her ‘Saltwater (2015 Rework)’, her Hype Machine #1 edit of Australian production trio RÜFÜS’ ‘You Were Right’ and her bouncy rendition of Oliver Heldens & Shaun Frank’s ‘Shades Of Grey’. Her two-track ‘Morning Dew’ EP featured the hauntingly beautiful title track, which was selected as Pete Tong’s first Essential New Tune of the year in his BBC Radio 1 show.
Meeting many milestones in her career in 2016, Daniela delivered her breathtaking BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, toured relentlessly to bring her scintillating sound to as many countries as humanly possible, and completed her first Ibiza residency at the world’s largest
club, Privilege Ibiza. Releasing some of her most personal works, including the delicate ‘Lake Arrowhead’, which was the 6th most Shazam’d track in Ibiza in July 2016, and her summer re- make of Chris Rea’s 1986 classic ‘On The Beach’, every release proves why she is one of dance music’s most in-demand producers.
Releasing her diverse 4-track ‘Conquer Yosemite’ EP, a remix with EDX of Brazilian Superstar DJ Alok’s ‘Hear Me Now’ and her stunning original ‘Tears In Your Eyes’, Nora En Pure has already delivered an array of gems this year. Winning crowds over at Coachella in April, and being selected as one of Tomorrowland’s Daybreak Artists, this indomitable artist has well and truly made 2017 her own.
