Tonight: Los Angeles-based Daisy O’Dell is a DJ, music director and composer whose career is defined less by genre than by taste, precision and instinct. With a deep, wide-ranging musical knowledge and a reputation for highly specific selections, she moves effortlessly between all-vinyl sets, high-profile cultural moments and underground dancefloor energy.
Her DJ work has placed her in rare company: she has played all-vinyl for Grace Jones at her Hollywood Bowl afterparty, kept Prince dancing until dawn, appeared alongside artists including Lady Gaga, Lou Reed, Stevie Wonder and Doja Cat, and was selected to play Martin Gore’s sixtieth birthday. In 2025, Baz Luhrmann tapped her for his Met Gala afterparty, where she delivered a six-hour set later described by Vogue as “glamorous, goth, and a little surreal.”
Beyond the booth, Daisy is a sought-after musical force in film, fashion and entertainment. She has shaped the sound of major world premieres including Dune: Part Two, A Complete Unknown, Wuthering Heights and One Battle After Another, and works as a music director for institutions such as ELLE’s Women in Hollywood and Variety’s Power Of series.
Her creative range extends into composition and reworks: she scored the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Variety: Actors on Actors, helped shape the sonic world around Disney’s Maleficent, and received a Golden Trailer Award connected to Lana Del Rey’s “Once Upon a Dream.” Her own edits and re-interpretations — including her acclaimed Versions series — reflect the same signature: timeless references, sharp emotional control and a selector’s instinct for the perfect moment.
At Bar Tausend, expect a deeply musical set built on taste, tension and release — elegant, unexpected and made for a room that listens while it moves.
