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 He later released the album Eurodance Compilation which contained 5 unpublished tracks.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 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me the drums!
Tarari and Tarara and Tarara and Tarari in the place to be!
Ladies and Gentleman,
You are ready to party with Alba and GgDag?
Ok...you are ready to party?
You are ready to rock the house up side down?
You are ready to Tarari and Tarara, Alba and GiGi Dag?
Tarari and Tarara, Alba and GiGi Dag .....
Un Deux Trois, Tarari Comme Ci Comme Ca
One Two Three Tarari the place to be ....
Ok, now put your hands in the air,
And wave them like you just don´t care...
To tarari .. in the place to be
We got GGDAG in the house...
(Gigi D´Agostino Voice)
Un Deux Trois, Tarari Comme Ci Comme Ca
One Two Three Tarari the place to be ....
(Albertino Voice)
We got Alba in the house
If you are ready to party, with Tarari and Tarara...
The lyrics to Gigi D'Agostino & Albertino's song Super are a lively call to action for partying and having a good time. The opening lines are an invitation to the drums to start playing and for the bassline to begin. The repeated refrain of Tarari and Tarara and Tarara and Tarari is a playful, nonsense phrase that adds to the lively atmosphere of the song.
The lyrics then shift to addressing the audience directly, asking if they are ready to party and rock the house upside down. The use of the phrase "Tarari and Tarara, Alba and GiGi Dag" creates a sense of camaraderie and a rallying cry for the audience to join in. The repeated use of the phrase "One Two Three Tarari" reinforces the idea of having fun and letting go.
The final lines of the song serve as a final call to action for the audience to join in the party, with a shoutout to Gigi D'Agostino and Alba to signify their presence and involvement in the festivities.
