By Brina Knauss

Brina Knauss is a Slovenian DJ, producer, and label owner whose sophisticated blend of melodic house and techno has captivated dancefloors around the globe. A classically trained musician with roots as a singer in a girl band, Brina brings a unique, emotionally resonant quality to her sets. Rich in atmosphere, deep in harmony, and guided by a finely tuned ear for key, chords, and melody.

Her journey from pop vocalist to internationally in-demand DJ has been anything but conventional. This genre-spanning evolution has earned her the respect of industry heavyweights like Damian Lazarus and Luciano, both of whom count themselves among her growing fanbase. Known for her emotive storytelling and ethereal soundscapes, her sets are immersive experiences that blur the line between dancefloor energy and cinematic introspection.

On stage, Brina’s presence is undeniable. She has performed across the world, with standout appearances in London, Beirut, Tulum, Miami, Berlin, and Paris. Her global reach has included a tour of Colombia, a show-stealing appearance at Rage Festival in South Africa, and bookings at top-tier festivals such as Tomorrowland in Belgium, Audioriver in Poland, and OFFSonar in Barcelona.

Back home in Milan, Brina is a resident at the esteemed Volt Club, where she’s been a regular since 2018. Her rise has also been celebrated in the media — gracing the cover of DJ Mag Italia in July 2018 and earning two nominations at the DJ Awards, first as ‘Best Newcomer’ in 2018 and then ‘Breakthrough Artist’ in 2019.

Brina Knauss is an artist who continues to impress with each set and release, weaving classical training with modern club culture to deliver a sound that’s as moving as it is memorable.
