Arianna Triassi: the explosive Neapolitan passion that meets Tech-house

There is a thin yet resilient thread connecting the vibrant chaos of Naples’ alleyways to the rhythmic order of Tech-house. Walking that line with enviable balance is Arianna Triassi. In a clubbing scene often dominated by stereotypes, Arianna has managed to establish herself not only as a style icon but as a powerful and meticulous sound curator.

Her DJ sets are not just performances—they are extensions of Neapolitan energy: warm and welcoming at first glance, but deep, pounding, and technically impeccable once the night comes alive. Arianna represents a new generation of artists capable of blending visual aesthetics with musical substance, proving that behind the console there is far more than an image: there is study, passion, and that “fire” only those raised in the shadow of Vesuvius possess.

We met her to talk about music and her life.

Welcome Arianna, it’s a pleasure to have you with us! People often say Naples has a rhythm of its own, a musical chaos that gets inside you from childhood. Is there a specific moment in your daily life in the city that has influenced your sense of rhythm? How do you bring that “organized chaos” into your tracks?

My life is shaped by many important moments: there isn’t one single episode that influences my music. What influences it are the places I visit, the people I meet, and so on.

I consider myself a very curious person, which is why I let myself be guided by instinct. I’m always searching for new grooves, but to challenge my creativity I also draw heavily from the experience and flair of others.

I believe every artist opens up different scenarios and visions. Music has no prejudice: if you accept outside influences and enrich yourself with what you feel is right for your path, you will always discover new treasures. Life is not a single moment, and music is not a single moment—it’s made of constant instants.

Let’s talk about what technicians call “reading the crowd.” Beyond mixing, the real magic lies in understanding the audience. What’s your secret “thermometer”? Is there a non-verbal signal, a specific movement from the crowd, that tells you you’ve created the perfect connection and it’s time to push harder?

The winning weapon is constantly remembering that you’re there for them, not for yourself. Without an audience measuring me, I would be nobody, and that’s why I have a moral duty to make them have fun.

A DJ is not an egoist—at least they shouldn’t be. We artists are sensitive and emotional, or at least I consider myself that way, and that’s why my method is based on “tests”: I make simple musical proposals to see how the crowd reacts. If I notice I can intrigue them and capture their attention, I push harder and bring them into my world.

But if I see things becoming too forced because they’re not ready, I try to meet them halfway—not betraying myself, but finding a compromise that makes them feel good and allows me to express myself.

In short? Lots of reading body movements. After a while, you develop an eye for it.

We live in an era dominated by image, and you have a strong social following. In the DJ world, unfortunately, there’s still the prejudice that “if you care about aesthetics, you neglect technique.” Have you ever had to fight this stereotype? And how satisfying is it to see skeptics change their minds as soon as the first drop hits?

I think people should take care of themselves not to please others, but to please themselves. Today we live in an era where image matters even more than before, simply because society and social media impose very high standards. But “taking care of yourself” doesn’t mean overdoing it—it just means caring for your person.

So yes, I take care of myself. I value myself, and for this reason I’ve always studied! I’ve taken course after course to improve my performance and professionalism, and I have a background of experience that I try to enrich every day.

I find it gratifying when people appreciate my music before my appearance.

I don’t need to change anyone’s mind: if they judge me, it’s because they had already decided to. It’s hard to change the mind of someone who points fingers before having an opinion based on objective facts.

And I objectively give my soul to transmit emotions to the audience. So if they change their mind, I’m happy and I win. If they don’t, my victory lies in having tried.

No one loses if they try, right? What matters is commitment and believing in yourself.

Let’s discover “Arianna,” the young woman behind the DJ. When the night ends, the lights go out, and you return to the silence of home, what is your decompression ritual? Is there a passion or hobby no one would associate with the energetic DJ we see behind the console?

I’ve always loved painting. I attended art school because I wanted to become an architect before discovering my love for music, but I was too imprecise and dreamy to become one.

Every day during technical drawing classes, I would sketch the images that came to my mind, and that’s how I discovered my love for painting.

As I said earlier, I’m very curious: when I start something, it’s hard for me not to finish it. So over time I learned new techniques and improved a lot.

Another hobby—actually, let’s call it an obsession—is perfume. It may sound strange, but I love training my nose to recognize new scents. I have a huge perfume collection, and I love learning about their composition and olfactory pyramid.

Let’s do an imagination exercise. You have unlimited budget and the ability to teleport for an exclusive sunset set. Where do you take us? And what’s the final track, the one that closes everything as the sun disappears?

I’d play in Miami with Carl Cox, on a beach with very few people—no more than fifty. Swimsuits, drinks, and closing with my latest track, YEMALA.

Clubbing is constantly evolving, especially after recent years. If you had to bet on the future, where is the sound of Italian nights heading? And in this changing scenario, what will be the next sonic evolution of Arianna Triassi?

You can’t bet on the future—it has become too fast. Today music is fashion, and so is my job.

I can say that House and Tech-house will never die, but I’d bet on a genre that lasts at most 12 months. Attention spans are low, and fewer people go out to dance specifically to listen to music.

Surely I will change, experiment, fail, try again, and hopefully succeed even more—but always staying true to my vibes, doing what I love. I don’t chase trends—I create them. Where people copy, artists create.

Want me to bet on something? I bet on myself.

Thank you so much for being with us. We wish you a future full of success, and we hope you’ll come back to tell us all about it!
