GiGi FM

Before long, she became a firm fix­ture of South-London’s close-nit music scene, organ­is­ing par­ties in DIY spaces and DJing reg­u­lar­ly across the city, with reg­u­lar appear­ances at London’s revered ​‘Make Me’ par­ties. List­ing Dona­to Dozzy, Bjork, Func­tion, Neel, Alek­si Per­rälä, Pierre Hen­ry, E. Satie and Suzanne Ciani among her musi­cal influ­ences, Giu­lia is as cre­ative in the stu­dio as she is on the decks. Now Berlin-based, she is advanc­ing not only as a DJ but also in her mul­ti-dis­ci­pli­nary, per­for­mance art practice.

Her NTS Radio res­i­den­cy has giv­en her free-rein to explore and share her musi­cal palette fur­ther, wel­com­ing kin­dred musi­cal minds includ­ing the likes of Cross­ing Avenue, Azu Tiwa­line, Bam­bounou, Midgar and Dona­to Dozzy.

In her recent EP, ​“Mag­netite,” Giu­lia made use of her back­ground in dance, employ­ing motion sen­sor tech­nol­o­gy to trig­ger sounds and effects via midi along­side her ever grow­ing tech­ni­cal reper­toire in the stu­dio. The title itself ref­er­enc­ing the mate­r­i­al which allows us to sense the kinet­ic force of Earth’s elec­tro­mag­net­ic field: the min­er­al mag­netite. This year she will ded­i­cate more ener­gy towards tra­vers­ing the flu­id space where move­ment and sound collide.

Strong­ly influ­enced by astrol­o­gy, meta­physics, and phi­los­o­phy: for Giu­lia, music is both a tool for con­nec­tion and intro­spec­tion. Her debut album Kiwi Syn­the­sis Diary 21k is a per­son­al project that was the prod­uct of using Able­ton in place of her jour­nal. Sup­port­ed by her hap­py word: Kiwi, the album was a space to let out her inner­most thoughts, feel­ings, and dreams. Her sen­so­ry approach to music cre­ates a tru­ly immer­sive expe­ri­ence where she is high­ly attuned to her audi­ence. Being inspired by the ancient role of dance and music in rit­u­al of com­mu­ni­ty and con­nec­tion, her work is still based upon an instinc­tu­al desire to be in tune with one another.

After two sen­sa­tion­al Boil­er Room sets and embark­ing on a Boil­er Room club-tour cov­er­ing some key UK and Euro­pean cities, she is con­tin­u­ing to gain­ a devot­ed lis­ten­er­ship via her month­ly NTS Radio show, and look­ing for­ward to plen­ty of great shows com­ing up at Panora­ma Bar, HORST Fes­ti­val, Elysia Basel, Selec­tors, Berghain and many more. With her mul­ti-dis­ci­pli­nary prac­tice grow­ing, we can also expect to see her breach the bound­aries of the club and grow her pres­ence with­in artis­tic spaces. Stay tuned.
