Datura is an iconic project that resides at the crossroads of electronic and ethnic influences, with a particular focus on trance and psychedelic music. Originating from Italy, Datura, also known as Ciro Pagano and Stefano Mazzavillani, first rose to prominence in the early 1990s with their distinctive blend of hypnotic melodies and shamanic rhythms, capturing the spirit of the era's growing electronic music movement. Their name is inspired by the datura plant, known both for its medicinal properties and as a powerful hallucinogen, reflecting the band's interest in altering consciousness through music.

Their illustrious career weaves a tapestry of pioneering tracks, with hits like "Yerba Del Diablo," which became an anthem on dancefloors around the world, and "Eternity," marking their lasting impact on the electronic music scene. Over the years, Datura has revisited and revitalized their classic sounds, as seen in releases such as "Fade to Grey (Remixes 2019)" and "Eternity 25th Anniversary," demonstrating their commitment to evolving their artistry while staying true to the essence of their roots. The group's ability to morph and adapt sonically has allowed them to remain relevant and cherished by fans globally, signaling their enduring influence on the electronic music genre.
