GiGi FM

Hav­ing made a name for her­self as a key play­er in the South Lon­don elec­tron­ic music scene, she is now Berlin-based. In 2023, she will con­tin­ue tour­ing the world with appear­ances at fes­ti­vals includ­ing Sus­tain Release, Rur­al, Pri­mav­era, and Houghton, and will be mak­ing her return to Berghain, De School and Fuse.

Through her res­i­den­cy on NTS Radio she explores inter-dimen­sion­al sounds and shares her own musi­cal palette. She’s wel­comed sev­er­al kin­dred musi­cal spir­its to join her in the online space includ­ing Wac Lounge, MSJY, Mor­dio, Bam­bounou, Midgar and Dona­to Dozzy.

Move­ment and sound make up the DNA of Gigi’s prac­tice. As a pro­fes­sion­al­ly-trained dancer, she is fas­ci­nat­ed with dance as a medi­um to cre­ate sound, beyond just being a response. Her lat­est EP, Mag­netite (2022) on Bambounou’s Bambe label, fea­tures ​‘Sen­stro­naut (MYO)’, the first track that Gigi cre­at­ed entire­ly using a MYO motion sen­sor. After explor­ing this prac­tice with her project, GEM (Ges­tur­al Elec­tron­ic Music), she pro­duced the track with pro­gres­sive lay­ers using arm ges­tures, cre­at­ing a pal­pa­ble rep­re­sen­ta­tion of move­ment in her music production. 

GiGi’s 2021 debut album Kiwi Syn­the­sis Diary 21k is a per­son­al project that was the prod­uct of employ­ing Able­ton in place of her jour­nal. Titled after her hap­py word: Kiwi, the album was a space to let out her inner­most thoughts, feel­ings, and dreams. A way in which to make the intan­gi­ble, tan­gi­ble. Fol­low­ing that, the sin­gle Game­lan Tokyo was released in 2022 as a pre­cur­sor to her upcom­ing album Kiwi Syn­the­sis Diary vol. 2.

Deeply influ­enced by astrol­o­gy, phi­los­o­phy and the cos­mos; for Giu­lia, music is both a tool for expres­sion and intro­spec­tion. As a mul­ti-hyphen­ate artist, this year she con­tin­ues on her quest to push artis­tic bound­aries and hold space for unique DJ-audi­ence expe­ri­ences. What­ev­er medi­um she may adopt, the result is a rich embod­i­ment of the inter­con­nect­ed­ness of sound, colour, move­ment and metaphysics.
