Gianluca Pighi

At the age of fifteen he sneaked into his older cousins pirate radio station armed with some of his favourite vinyl and began to learn the art of broadcasting playing funk classics, hip-hop and 80's soul. “Getting hold of records back then wasn't easy, sometimes it would even end up in fist-fights” he says laughingly. Pighi's sets began to earn him a very strong reputation which saw him spin at legendary club Mazoom, opening up for established luminaries such as David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Derrick Carter, Louie Vega, Harvey and Joe Claussell – since then he has never turned back and today also continues to shake up the floors with his very high quality mixture of great sounds.
Over the years there have been many productions released on some global leading labels getting back up from people such as Francois K, Kenny Dope, Anthony Nicholson and others and we have even seen recording collaborations with icons like Robert Owens and Frankie Knuckles. Today he can be seen mastering and engineering some of the biggest and the best productions coming out of Italy.
Gianluca Pighi is a firm believer in quality and this is something that he demonstrates majestically whether working as a DJ, producing his own material or working in the studio with other artists – if it's not good then it's not for him. A man as well as a trademark for Quality with a capital 'Q'!!!
