GIZA DJS

gizA djs are an eclectic DJ/production duo from Italy. gizA is an acronym of their real names Gian Pietro and Tiziano. Their collaboration began in 2005 founding the Xtreme Festival.

The gizA djs started from 0 in the field of productions, at the beginning of their career they decided not to look for shortcuts, they slowly learned the art of production, the only way to express themselves in the music. Over the years, through productions and releases for small labels, they have slowly learned and refined the techniques of production, mixing, and sound design, allowing them over the years to come to the attention of the great DJS and A&R of some of the most important labels in the underground panorama.

Over the years they have released music on some of the most important independent labels of the melodic techno and indie dance scene including Diynamic, Exploited, Selador, Glasgow Underground, Sincopat, Ritter Butzke, Eklektisch and Katermukke. In 2023 they will release on Monaberry and Trueromance and are also working on several remixes for other artists.

THE PROJECT

After the first steps taken with tech-house productions, they have progressively changed their sound reaching what best represents them. Nowadays their productions are oriented between melodic techno & house and indie dance, a certain type of electronic music with retro and synth-wave nuances. Their productions are strongly inspired by the natural context of the nearby mountain areas of their hometown, Belluno, a delightful city on the edge of the national park of the Dolomites.

gizA are djs and both a live project, over the years they have had the opportunity to experiment and bring to the stage an electronic live project as well as a hybrid DJ set with some synthesizers and Ableton Live.
