Gian Battaglia

Gian Battaglia has been involved with music and audio in some way or another from a very young age, starting out as an avid vinyl collector of obscure electronic music. By the age of 18 Gian had secured a DJ residency, mixing and melding vinyl every Friday night and going on to play in venues up and down the country. In becoming a DJ Gian was afforded precious time to study the structures, rhythms, timing, texture and raw emotion within electronic music, as well as how people engage and react to it, thus providing invaluable inspiration and ideologies in which he could draw upon in order to make informed creative decisions when imparting such parameters into his own productions. Now based in East London Gian Battaglia remains dedicated to electronic music and having spent nearly a decade seriously producing music under various guises for himself and others, Gian has decided the time is right to go by his birth name as he feels this portrays a truthfulness that goes hand in hand with the authenticity and raw emotion within his music.

Gian’s music can be described as electronica with a film soundtrack ethos, drawing inspiration from ambient and neoclassical music. The music of Battaglia has enjoyed support from radio stations such as BBC 6 Music, as well as featuring on acclaimed electronic music publications such as Electronic Groove, UFO Network, EDM Republic and Chromatic Club.
