DJ Gigola
Gigolo means Playboy, but the word originally derives from the ancient French "Gigole" whichused to mean Dancing Woman. This makes DJ Gigola both, a dancing woman and a playboy.Where others see tension and contradiction, DJ Gigola sees a chance for creation. In her playfulway of breaking down boundaries, she hits the Zeitgeist of a generation that continuouslytransforms and recontextualises seemingly fixed concepts and stereotypes. As a result, both hersets and productions are quint-essentially genre-fluid. Her critically acclaimed cutting edgereleases take a hybrid approach, successfully blending boundaries between Dance and Popmusic. On a night out, you might hear DJ Gigola mix Madonna out of an old Bonzai record andback into Surgeon all within 5 minutes. Her sets are enigmatic and reflect a natural sense ofcuriosity - eager to explore, she does not shy away from experimenting. As playful as DJ Gigola’sselection may seem, however, she rigorously weaves together seemingly disperse tracks with onecommon thread: rhythm. She experiences music primarily through the rhythmic structureemergent from patterns of percussion rather than layers of melodic harmonies. This deepunderstanding for rhythm and groove, combined with her multi-facetted knowledge of music andcurious audacity to try new things makes DJ Gigola one of the most exciting DJs to experience ona dance floor.
