From globe-trotting gigs across continents to sharing the stage with techno heavyweights, he’s become one of the most talked-about names in the scene. As he gears up for a massive homecoming show at Galactica alongside I Hate Models and 9×9, we caught up with him to talk evolution, inspiration, and what’s next in 2025. Hi Pisapia! Thanks for taking the time to chat, it’s been such a big year for you already, and we’re excited to dig into the music, the madness, and everything in between.
Let’s start with Galactica, what does it mean to be returning to your home country for such a massive show alongside artists like I Hate Models and 9×9?
Hello everyone, and thank you for your time.
Galactica has become like a family to me, so it’s always special to play for them, especially in my home country. This will be one of the biggest shows I’ll play this year, and I honestly can’t wait. Sharing the booth with three legends like Guillaume, Carlo, and Giovanni will make it even more special.
You’ve had quite a run of global dates recently, from India to Australia to Madrid. What have been some highlights from the road so far?
Every show holds a special meaning for me. Every single moment I experience in my career is important, this is something I’ve always dreamed of, so I try to enjoy every part of the journey: the travel, the downtime, and of course, the time spent in the booth at each gig.
So it’s hard to pick just one. That said, I recently had the honour of playing at Cocoricò, inside the Pyramid… and for an Italian guy who’s always dreamed of being a DJ, that was truly unique.
Your sound pulls from many corners of techno, how would you describe your style now, and how has it evolved over the past few years?
Of course, year by year, I’m always evolving and changing things up.
The industry moves so fast these days, but I always make sure to bring my own style into whatever wave we’re riding. Lately, I’ve been leaning a bit into industrial… but also hardcore, gabber, and even hardstyle 🙂
Let’s talk about Italy, how do you see the current state of the Italian techno and rave scene? Are you influenced by its history?
To be honest, no, I don’t see things going too well here right now, and it feels like it’s slowing down the momentum of our scene a bit. But thank God for the 6 or 7 promoters who are still holding it down and doing an incredible job despite everything.
You’ve released music on some seriously respected underground labels, how does your creative process change when you’re making something for a specific imprint?
Of course, every label looks for a sound that fits the music they’re releasing.
But as I mentioned, I always try to keep my own personal touch, no matter what.
What’s next for you in 2025? More releases, new collaborations, or a new direction we should watch out for?
I want to explore more sounds, discover new countries, and play gigs in parts of the world I haven’t visited yet. I’m also excited to start collaborating with new artists.
Can’t wait to see where it all goes…
