As a child, Gigi D'Agostino always had a big hope: to be someone in the world of disco music. Working first as a mason and fitter, he started his musical career as a DJ by organizing parties in clubs. His debut was in a club near Torino (Italy) called "Woodstock". He was a resident DJ of Ultimo Impero (an Italian disco) from 1993 to 1998.
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.

Gigi D'Agostino has played in some well known clubs throughout Europe including in Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and England (in 1996 he played at the Ministry of Sound in London with Mauro Picotto) .
In 2006 he created his own new record label, called "Noisemaker Hard", to differentiate the style of music released under his older record label, "Noisemaker".
In 2007 Gigi released Lento Violento e Altre Storie, a compilation which contains two CDs and his new 35 Lento Violento songs. The most important hit is "Ginnastica Mentale".
After some months, he released the compilation "La musica che pesta" under the name "Lento Violento Man" which contains two CDs for a total of 38 unmixed tracks.

Gigi D'Agostino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay with me for ever
Sharing love together
Keep my dream alive (keep my dream alive)
Touch with me the sky
Is got to be the reason
Share with you my freedom
Steal a ray of sun
While I'm here with you
You must come along
Everywhere I go
I just want to love you so
To fall in love with you
I never ever played
I just want to say hello
It takes so long to draw
From every where I go
I just want to love you so
To fall in love with you
I never ever played
I just want to say hello
It takes so long to draw
From every where I go
I just want to love you so
Sharing love together
Keep my dream alive (keep my dream alive)
Touch with me the sky
Is got to be the reason
Share with you my freedom
Steal a ray of sun
You must come along
Everywhere I go
I just want to love you so
To fall in love with you
I never ever played
I just want to say hello
It takes so long to draw
From every where I go
I just want to love you so
To fall in love with you
I never ever played
I just want to say hello
It takes so long to draw
From every where I go
I just want to love you so
The lyrics of Gigi d'Agostino's song "Silence" express an unyielding desire for true and lasting love. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer implores their lover to stay with them for eternity and share their love, promising to keep their dream alive and reach for the sky together. The second verse takes a more individualistic approach, with the singer declaring that they must share their freedom and steal a ray of sunshine, all while being together. The chorus repeats the singer's desire to love their partner so deeply, with a promise never to play with their affections and to always express their feelings.
The lyrics of "Silence" are reflective of the Eurodance genre, which originated in the late 1980s and gained popularity in the 1990s. Eurodance is characterized by fast beats, catchy melodies and often nonsensical lyrics that focus on themes of love, longing and celebration. Notably, "Silence" is an instrumental track, with the only vocal contribution being the repetitive chorus. Though the lyrics are simple and repetitive, they evoke a sense of intense emotion that is fitting for the genre.
