Her punchy, 90s-inspired EPs Note To Self (self-released) and Bicycle Bounce (via Slam City Jams) deliver whizzing house forehands. BELLA’s sound blends nostalgia with contemporary flair, pulling from acid, breakbeat, and house influences.

Soon after, Australian favourite Sam Alfred handpicked BELLA to join him as a support act on his final tour Down Under before relocating to London. I recently caught up with her to chat about what life’s been like lately—and the tracks she’s been loving spinning.

That trip to Australia was BELLA’s first, and she described the experience as “super beautiful and inspiring.” Another standout moment she shared was her debut at Berghain’s Panorama Bar in February, where she played alongside Natalie Seres and Alinka.

If you’re based in Amsterdam, visiting regularly, or planning a Euro summer stop, keep an eye out for BELLA’s Palet event series. This buzzing party pops up around the city, especially at LOFI.

Recently, she’s been challenging herself with various DJ sets—from warm-up slots to high-energy closings. This versatility has started influencing her productions, as she experiments with new instruments, tempos, and moods. Word is, her third EP is just around the corner.

While we wait for more original releases, here are some tracks BELLA digs from her peers.

1. Bermani | “6 AM”

This one is perfect for those early mornings (or late nights ;-). It’s euphoric, but still pushes forward with a solid stomp. I’ve been using it a lot as a closer. Bermani is a sick producer!
