Gigi Masin
Born in Venice, Italy in 1955 he’s in the music scene since early 70’s. Pioneer of the italian generation of radio DJs on FM radio stations and of the ‘ambient’ and electronic music scene, he’s considered a forerunner of the ‘turntablism’ in using turntables to performing with vinyls, mixers, live electronics and tape-loops on stages, theatres and for the national radio.
