D'Agostino's first release was "Noise Maker Theme", a double-A sided record with a track by Daniele Gas on the other side, which launched the Noise Maker label, under the direction of Italian house producer Gianfranco Bortolotti. D'Agostino would continue working with Daniele Gas, as well as Mauro Picotto's production team for the following years.
His 1999 single "Bla Bla Bla" became a major European hit. He described this single as "a piece I wrote thinking of all the people who talk and talk without saying anything!"[1] Other hit singles included L'Amour Toujours, "Another Way", "La Passion", "The Riddle", as well as "Super (1, 2, 3)", "'Carillon" (remix of Italian DJ Magic Box) and, more recently "Goodnight".
As a DJ, D'Agostino is known as one of the "pioneers of Mediterranean Progressive Dance"[2] consisting of minimalistic sounds and catchy, latin melodies and especially mediterranean melodies. As a producer, Gigi D’Agostino’s strength - or "Gigi Dag", the pseudonym he uses for himself in club productions - lies in transforming a piece, originally destined only for the discos, into a success for the main-stream public.
After successes like "Sweetly", he entered in the team of Gianfranco Bortolotti, the general manager of Media Records and suddenly reached the top of the hit parades. His single "FLY", published in 1996 with BXR Noise Maker, the label created by Media Records for the Mediterranean Progressive house, reached the top of the sales in Italy. This was followed by his single "Gigi's Violin".
Subsequently Gigi D'Agostino released the song "Angel's Symphony" with R.A.F. by Mauro Picotto, a friend from Media Records. His biggest project was the self-titled album Gigi D'Agostino, consisting of 19 tracks, which sold over 60,000 copies.

After his rise to success, Gigi D'Agostino musical style changed, with his sound becoming more melodic, at midway between House and Progressive, with more energetical and melodical sonorities and less obsessive rhythms.
In 1997 he released the single "Gin Lemon", followed by 1998 "'Elisir (Your Love)" (1998), "Cuba Libre" (1999) and "Bla Bla Bla" (1999). He later released the album Eurodance Compilation which contained 5 unpublished tracks. With this compilation he obtained the Platinum Disc and was awarded with "Best Producer in 1999" at the Italian Dance Awards. In October, Gigi D’Agostino released another hit single, entitled "Another Way".
In 1999 his album, L'Amour Toujours (released in 2001 in the United States), including 23 tracks on two CDs including the song "L'Amour Toujours", brought him to the 10th position in the sales parade in Italy and as a result he reached the Platinum Disc.
2000s
In 2000, his remake of the Nik Kershaw song "The Riddle" sold 1,000,000 copies in Germany, and 200,000 copies in France. He also released the albums Tecno Fes (August 2000) and Tecno Fes E.P. Vol. 2 (December 2000).
In 2001 he released L'Amour Toujours E.P., consisting of 3 songs: two new versions of "L'amour Toujours" and "Un giorno credi", a single made in collaboration with Edoardo Bennato. "Un giorno credi" reached the top of the parades in Italy and became one of the most played songs in the national and international music networks. He was also awarded with "Best DJ-producer of the year" at the "Red Bull Awards" in Italy.
In 2001 he also released the hit "Super", as a result of a collaboration with Albertino (an Italian music artist), which won him the awards "Best Dance Producer" at the PIM (Italian Music Award); and "Public Award" at the Danish DJs Award in Copenhagen, Denmark. In December of that year he released Il Grande Viaggio, a compilation of his favourite songs, including old electronic pieces and new rhythms and melodies. As a result, he was awarded with "Best Dance Producer" at the Italian Dance Awards.
On July 15, 2004, his compilation "Euro Dance" won Platinum certification with 120,000 copies sold in a few weeks.

I Feel Love
Gigi D'Agostino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I wonder where
Does anybody know where we go?
'cause I need to feel not to fall
Dreams keep on fading in the wind now
Illusion's all we lived
Because of our fears we have to let go
I wanna fly around the world
I need to feel like a child
It's so nice when you're here by my side
I need to let all behind
Find you there in my dreams, in my life
Day after day i just fly
And I think it's a wonder
Because of you I've opened my soul
'cause I need to feel not to fall
Dreams are living under my skin
And my heart is fulfilled
You are my everything i love you baby
I'll be forever here whenever you call
I wanna fly around the world
I need to feel like a child
It's so nice when you're here by my side
I need to let all behind
Find you there in my dreams, in my life
The lyrics of "I Feel Love" by Gigi D'Agostino explore the concepts of uncertainty, fear, and the importance of human connection. The first verse contemplates the lack of direction in our daily lives and the idea of running towards an unknown destination. The repetition of the question "Does anybody know where we go?" emphasizes the sense of confusion and uncertainty that often accompanies modern living. The singer expresses a need to feel in order to avoid falling into despair and to reconnect with a childlike sense of wonder.
The second verse speaks directly to the transformative power of love and the impact it has had on the singer's life. The metaphor of flying around the world suggests a sense of freedom and limitless possibilities that comes with being in love. The following lines further emphasize this idea by stating that the heart is fulfilled and dreams are living under the skin. The chorus repeats the singer's desire to feel like a child and to connect with a loved one in a meaningful way, while acknowledging the need to let go of past fears and mistakes.
Overall, "I Feel Love" is a hopeful and optimistic song that encourages listeners to embrace their emotions and make meaningful connections with others.
