Jetzt schon Bla Bla Bla, wollt ihr mich veralbern... 😭 Gigi D'Agostino - Silence

some more stuff: Stay With Me - Single Release: Was there any word from Gigi about it? How long was it on the download platforms? You can find just little information about it today. Circo Uonz 2 (B-Sides 2011-2015): My favourite from the last years. An early version of the EP with a slightly different tracklist was officially buyable on a russian music platform. Early LT2 previews on Media Markt listening station: These previews from LT2 with different tracks are really lost content, because it never made it on CD or even the internet 😞

But there is a difference, these are uncredited covers made by Gigi (I think there is no doubt), while Vivo Per Lei and others are really produced by someone else. So I think it is missing information, yes, but not mysterious.

Maybe you are familiar with the "iceberg chart", which is used for topics that have some strange hidden content, which is not visibile for most people on first sight. I thought that we can share our "Gigi mysteries" in this topic. Content that only a handful of persons know, which was never really promoted and we don't know why it's there. I start with: https://youtube.com/@discussologo5369?si=RBVDq3ILD7Sf9hDb Discussologo (84 subscribers, 1800 views, 2 videos) Some scenes from movies, no further explanation given. Profil picture is Gigi with reading glasses. Why does this exist? 😄 https://youtube.com/@mossapossatv?si=C27RlyaOyhUpuF1q Mossa Possa (106 subscribers, 2200 views, 1 video) Just one track with a fast trance-like style. Video is in the style of the other Youtube tracks from that 2015/2016 era and has even the "Mon" in it, so 100% Gigi's account. The channel was created in 2013 and the track came in 2016, nothing new since then. I believe that even many long lasting Gigi fans don't even know this track because of the few views. Never heard it in mix sets or live shows. and of course: https://youtube.com/@parabailarmas?si=MR_IygWpUzAHodjW Para Bailar Mas / GDC Band (47 subscribers, 4 videos) The remixes are probably from other artists as far as we know and Gigi maybe bought the rights? The phrase "Para Bailar Mas" was also used for the "Tuttodag Random Mix" uploads, so this could be a real Gigi Youtube channel. Strange: LT (Lento Violento Mix) is 99% the same as the "Lentanova Mix" and LT (Easy Dance Long Mix) has intro and outro in better quality as the middle part, maybe they were aded by Gigi? Which "mysteries" do you know?

Die Sängerin der Strophen ist übrigens KEL (Kelly Rose Moncado) https://www.instagram.com/kellyrosemoncado?igsh=OWR4Z3ZtdnNyM2Mw

Ja passt doch, ist auf jeden Fall viel tanzbarer als die Singles zuvor! Das einzige was ich nicht so mag ist sogar eher dieser original Refrain von Terraross, aber der Gigi Part ist schon stimmig! PS: Die erste Single seit langem ohne Lalala und Dödödö? (sofern man das Wort "Tarantella" nicht dazu zählt) 😃 Edit: Hab Only You vergessen.

Tracklist: 01) Tarantella Tarantella (GIGI DAG Mix) 02) Tarantella Tarantella (GIGI DAG Extended Mix) https://earone.com/song/fe5ddf9b68/tarantella-tarantella-gigi-dagostino-terraross?locale=en

Das Live wurde auf den 27. September verschoben!

Fun Fact: Die Insel, auf der einer der beiden Hauptcharaktere "Jason" lebt und die der realen Insel "Key Largo" nachempfunden ist, wird im Spiel wohl "Key Lento" heißen und bezieht sich damit tatsächlich auf den musikalischen Begriff (also grundsätzlich, nicht direkt im Hauptsinne des Gigi-Forums)! https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Key_Lento

Wenn es einen Gigi Remix gibt, wie auch bei Shadows Of The Night, Never Be Lonely & Co., wieso kann man dann nicht einfach ein Single Release wie früher veröffentlichen, bei dem es einen Radio Mix, einen Extended Mix und dann noch diverse Remixe gibt, vorzugsweise von den verschiedenen Einzel-Artists, die da "zusammen"gearbeitet haben. Dann wäre für jede Zielgruppe was dabei

This was also for me the first thing what came in my mind while listening 😂

Gigi did mention other collaborations in La Stampa: https://www.gfu-community.de/topic/32684-gigi-dagostino-my-new-life-single-07032025/#findComment-662114 He kept them secret and only named "Sara Perche Ti Amo" as one of them, because it was already known from the lives... --------------------------------------------------- What can we expect in the coming months? Gigi: "My new single, "My New Life," will be released in March and sums up this new beginning. I have a contract with Universal Germany and other collaborations with other pretty important artists that I can't reveal. The only thing I can reveal in advance, because it's already been discussed, is this song with I Ricchi e Poveri, which is completely outside my standards. An Agostini version of "Sarà perché ti amo."

Der Remix wurde laut Beiträgen im Casa Dag wohl schon zu Ostern von Gigi im Altromondo gespielt. Ich finde zwar leider kein Live-Video davon, aber hier kann man schonmal hören, wie Melodie und Gesang in etwa sein werden: https://youtu.be/Dc_IO76AHP0?si=pzb0SPAYsleL78NX

Trailer 2 ist da und Releasedatum wird der 26.05.2026 🫣 (Für die PC-Spieler wahrscheinlich erst 2027) https://youtu.be/VQRLujxTm3c?si=KerVaRmc8WKjfrLi

Kann auch sein, dass es einfach welche von den aktuell releasten waren. Ist ja nur gemeint, dass es nicht mehr auf den Compilations kam. Die anderen Sachen noch zu bekommen wäre natürlich schön, aber da waren wohl noch mehr Leute involviert, die ihr OK nicht gegeben haben, oder es fehlen die Rechte an Vocals wie bei "Acquistai Uonz"/"Rimbalzo"... 😞

INTERVIEW WITH STEOX 01. What's your name, how old are you and where do you live? My name is Stefano Di Nunzio, I'm 38 and I live in the southern area of Milan. 02. Why did you choose the artist name “Kikko/SteoX” and why did you changed it lately? Kikko was born by chance honestly, I had decided to register on Gigi's forum and I didn't know which nickname to use... so I put the first one that came to mind, Kikko 😄 It has never been my artist name! SteoX is simply the transformation of the way my friends call me... "Steo" 😄 03. What is your job? I am self-employed and work in the family business at the moment! For the future I hope to be able to transform my passion for music into a job. 04. When and why did you start making music and which was your first success? I started very early, at about 12/13 years old with the PlayStation 1. There was a beautiful game called "Music" that allowed you to create songs, that's where I fell in love with production. I couldn't tell you which song was the most successful, for me the most important is definitely "Close Your Eyes" by Angels Never Cry that I produced when I was 17. That's where it all started. 05. How many tracks did you make altogether and how much were played by Gigi? It's hard to quantify, I created so many overall! Gigi played almost everything I passed to him, especially in the evening 😄 06. What are your favourite tracks from other artists, from Gigi and also from yourself? As for mine, I couldn't tell you, maybe one that has yet to come out 😄"Gigi's Love" for sure and then I love Martin Garrix musically! In reality though, I listen to anything of any genre! 07. How long does it take for you to produce a song? It depends on the song, it can take 1 day or 1 month… there are too many variations! For example, for "Viaggetto" it took 2 days… while "Jump" I worked on for 2 months before arriving at the version that I then published. 08. What is your inspiration when you want to create something new? I never start with a very precise idea… for melodies I write down some chords and then I start studying them, for human voices I almost always start from a vocal and then I work on everything else! 09. What do you think about your own music and what does it mean to you? On this I see it very much like Gigi… music must reflect the person who creates it and must convey what the person who creates it feels. I like this freedom that you have in music and I don't like having to adapt to what the market demands… freedom (even in music) is fundamental. 10. Who is behind "The Love Family" and "Noise Of Love" and how did they came to life? They are 2 separate projects… "Love Family" are many people who carried out different projects… for example "Viaggetto" there is me and Oreste Spagnuolo…. "Noise of Love" are Oreste Spagnuolo and Mario Scalambrin. 11. With who did you also work together? I did something with Dallas and then I collaborated a lot with Oreste Spagnuolo. Honestly I am a person who does not like collaborations, I prefer to do what I like alone! 12. Are you doing only music production or also DJing? No no, only productions… the world of DJing has never excited me. 13. Do you play an instrument? Piano and some guitar, but all at an amateur level. 14. In which way Gigi D'Agostino got your tracks and how did you feel when you heard them for the first time in his sets? How was the relation between both of you? I always got to Gigi through Oreste, because he already collaborated with Gigi. Hearing your own tracks in the sets, on the radio or on CD was definitely very exciting, especially the first time! With Gigi I have always had a beautiful friendly relationship, we often spoke even about things outside of music... he taught me a lot not only about music and I will always thank him. 15. Did Gigi just use your tracks exactly how you made them or do you two even worked together on some tracks (and if so, how did you work together)? He used them exactly as you heard them, no changes or collaborations 😄 16. Many of the other "Co-Artists" (Andrex, Dallas, LuHa MsM, Romanzi and Dendo) released their tracks in the early 2010s. You had some short edits on Soundcloud back then, deleted them and just came back in 2025. Why? I didn't even want to publish them honestly, I would have preferred to start from scratch with the SteoX project with new music. I published them simply because I heard that some songs were circulating online and some people were passing them off as their own. So now everything is clear and no one can speculate. 17. Did you wish, that besides the "Gigi D'Agostino & The Love Family" songs some of your harder Lento Violento tracks were released on Gigi Compilations? Actually, other songs were supposed to be released, but then there were some problems and nothing came out anymore. 18. What do you think about Gigi D'Agostino as a musician and also as a person? As a musician I can say little because I have never worked with him in the studio so I don't know... as a person there is little to say, in my opinion he is a great man before being a great DJ. 19. With who would you wish to collaborate? Martin Garrix 😄 No as I told you I don't like collaborations 😄 20. What do you plan for the near future? You released already more than 30 tracks on the "Memories EPs", will there also be more of your old stuff coming? Memories Vol. 6 will be released and then, as far as the past is concerned, nothing more will be released officially. As I was telling you, I want to propose new music with various sounds taken from the past, on May 16th a single called "Back To The Future" will be released (not by chance 😄), which will recall the 2000s. I'll give you the news in advance 😉 Anything you want to say in the end? 😉 Thank you for this interview and thanks to the whole community for the support. Follow me on the various social networks because there is a lot of music that is about to arrive ... Lento Violento, Dance, Melody, Hands Up... A big hello to everyone, Stefano! Grazie per l’intervista! Sottosopra, for GFU-Community

I asked Stefano "SteoX" for an interview for GFU, like the one in 2012 I did with DJ Dallas, and he said Yes! 😃 I will send the questions till end of the week. If you want to know something special, please write your questions below or send them to me via Private Message.

SteoX hat auf Instagram einen PayPal-Link geteilt, über den man ihn ein wenig unterstützen kann. Als Dankeschön bekommt man von ihm einen seiner Tracks, die eher unveröffentlichbar sind! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/StefanoDiNunzio? Ich darf es leider nicht als Musikstück teilen, aber ich sag mal so... Da lässt sich etwas Unerwartetes in der Cammino-Tracklist auflösen 😄 (werd ich beizeiten noch mitteilen)

Wird wohl eher nichts, letztes Jahr waren sie auch Partner und es gab keine Übertragung. https://www.gfu-community.de/topic/32495-gigi-dagostino-fiera-milano-live-21-juni-2024/

Finally some REALLY good Lento again! 😎

Strange decision for Modulo. They don't have Gigi in their program and it is also not a very mainstream track or an evergreen from the past...
