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 He later released the album Eurodance Compilation which contained 5 unpublished tracks.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.

World Hold On
Gigi d'Agostino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do you feel?
Open up your heart
What do you feel is real?
The big bang may be a million years away
But I can't think of a better time to say
Instead of messing with our future
Open up inside
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future
Tell me no more lies
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
Children of the sky...
Children of the sky...
Look inside
You'll find a deeper love
The kind that only comes from high above
If you ever meet your inner child
Don't cry
Tell them everything is gonna be all right
World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future
Open up inside
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on
Come on, everybody in the universe, come on
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
Children of the sky
Open up your heart
Tell me, how do you feel?
Listen now, tell them everything
Right here, right now
All right, everybody, here in the world
You are all the children
Together now, unite, and fight, oh
Open up your heart, now
Peace, love for everyone
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, all right
To the four corners of the world
Sing it loud, sing it loud, sing it loud, loud, loud
World hold on, on
Sing it loud, sing it proud
Everybody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Don't take no for an answer
No, no, not today
Right here, spread love

World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold on
Come on, everybody in the universe, come on

The song “World Hold On” by Gigi D’Agostino is a captivating and inspiring message of unity and peace. The lyrics urge listeners to open up their hearts and feel what is real, rather than getting lost in the materialistic and superficial aspects of life. The song makes a powerful statement about the importance of living in harmony with each other and the world around us.
The chorus encourages the world to “hold on” and not mess with the future, to be honest, and answer to the “children of the sky” who represent a bright and hopeful future. The lyrics suggest that we all have a deeper love inside us that can only come from a higher power. If we look within ourselves and find that love, we can meet our inner child and reassure them that everything will be alright.
The song is a call to action for people to unite, fight for peace, love, and unity, and to spread that message to the four corners of the world. The powerful and catchy melody accompanies the inspiring lyrics, making it a song that inspires and moves the listener.
