Layla Benitez

Between New York, where she grew up, and Miami, where she settled, Layla Benitez develops a universe located at the crossroads of indie dance, dark disco, and melodic techno, with prominent synth lines, smooth basses, and a club approach that is as narrative as it is effective. Her trajectory sits within the North American electronic scene while engaging with international circuits, fed by a DJing practice started very early and extended by steady production work. Layla Benitez has made a name for herself with sets where nocturnal energy, 80s textures, and deep groove coexist, a balance perceptible in her Boiler Room session published in 2021, which helped broaden her visibility. Present on stages such as Coachella, EXIT, Tomorrowland, The Warehouse Project, and Circoloco, she has also held a residency at Space Miami, a key milestone in her development. In terms of production, Layla Benitez releases tracks and remixes oriented toward melodic and club electronic music, distributed on specialized platforms and played in contexts ranging from festivals to large-capacity clubs. Her name today circulates in a meeting zone between dark house, melodic techno, and contemporary disco, with an identity shaped by the dialogue between her New York roots and the Miami scene.
