TWIST: Your new song "Breaking Your Fall" came out recently. Can you tell us more about it?
Danny Avila: I just came out with it in the studio. I came up with a couple of melodies and one of them was the "Breaking Your Fall" melody. Then, I had three or four different vocals, and one of them fit perfectly.
TWIST: How would you describe your sound?
DA: Generally, I play big room stuff that's very energetic: a bit of house, a bit of electro, but sometimes I play a bit more techie, or a bit dub-step, so I change a little bit.
TWIST: Who would you say are your musical influences?
DA: I have a lot of influences. Dennis Coyu is such a great influence for me. I also have some techie influences, because I used to play more tech-house stuff about three years ago.
TWIST: Who would you want to collaborate with in the future?
DA: I would say Madonna! We went to her concert recently and she was so incredible -- such an amazing concert. And she's definitely the queen of pop music.
TWIST: What do you like most about touring?
DA: Actually everything! I like to discover new venues and new places to travel. It's a bit tiring, but I love it.
TWIST: What's next for you?
DA: I'm touring pretty much every weekend and most of the shows are in the States. I also have my new track "Breaking Your Fall." Then we have an incredible remix package coming out. I love the remixes so much -- I'm already playing them. And afterwards, I think I will go just back to the studio and keep working on music, and then keep touring, playing and pretty much doing what I'm doing right now.
TWIST: Thanks so much for coming in!
DA: Thank you.
