Layla Benitez

Layla Benitez is a New York-born DJ and producer based in the United States, associated with house music. She develops both her DJ sets and productions through regular club work, including a residency at Space Miami.

Style and sound

Her DJ sets draw on an 80s synth-influenced approach that she describes as a blend of indie-dance and dark disco. Her production work sits within an organic house sound and a laid-back, soulful groove, with both sides of her output forming part of the same overall aesthetic.

Career highlights

Her August 2021 Boiler Room set presents this darker, neon-lit club sound. The set also reflects the connection between her New York roots and her Miami home, alongside the experience she gains from performing regularly as a resident at Space Miami.

Label work

She releases music on Sheep at Night.
