Florence native Silvie Loto is no stranger to setting the pulse of Europe’s electronic music scene. Like many great artists, her musical journey began early, with the sounds of The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Groove Armada, and Depeche Mode serving as the soundtrack to her youth. And by age 17, while most teens were just figuring out their weekend plans, Silvie was already experimenting with DJing and production, eventually honing a signature style that blends house music’s soul with the sleek, modern rhythms of Tech House and Deep Tech edge.

Inspired by the pulsating rhythms of classic house and the stripped-back minimalism of early 2000s beats, Silvie’s sets offer a seamless blend of deep, resonant basslines and irresistible grooves. Her performances invite listeners on an immersive, sonic journey, full of unexpected twists. Over the years, her high-energy sets have earned her a firm place within Europe’s electronic dance music scene. During Croatia’s Sonus Festival, held from August 18-22, Silvie took to the Kalypso stage, delivering a set amidst Pag Island’s surreal, almost lunar landscape. The evocative setting called to mind the open-air venues of Ibiza in the ‘90s, complete with salt flats and dusk-to-dawn revelry. For a glimpse into this unforgettable moment, explore Silvie's photo diary below.
