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 He later released the album Eurodance Compilation which contained 5 unpublished tracks.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

paura e nobiltà
Gigi d'Agostino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tanti soldi e il successo tra la gente
E la paura di non posseder più niente
Questo basta a infettar la sua mente
Lui si nasconte dietro un cellulare
Perchè più facile non affrontare
Tu non rispondi tu ti nascondi
Allora si che cerchi tutto l'universo
Ma che ti vada di traverso...
Un bel giorno ho incontrato un uomo strano
Stava fermo e mi guardava da lontano
Non so perchè ma gli volevo parlare
Buon uomo perchè mi stai a guardare
Non guardavo nè tè e le montagne nè il cielo neanche il mare
Quantalto puoi guardare
Ciò che guardo e una cosa indefinita
Sto guardando il miracolo della vita
Un bel giorno ho incontrato un uomo strano
Stava fermo e mi guardava da lontano
Non so perchè ma gli volevo parlare
Buon uomo perchè mi stai a guardare
Non guardavo nè tè e le montagne nè il cielo e neanche il mare
Quantalto puoi guardare
Ciò che guardo e una cosa indefinita
Sto guardando il miracolo della vita
Sto guardando il miracolo della vita...
Basta un niente per creare un prepotente
Tanti soldi e il successo tra la gente
E la paura di non posseder più niente
Questo basta a infettar la sua mente
Un bel giorno ho incontrato un uomo strano
Stava fermo e mi guardava da lontano
Non so perchè ma gli volevo parlare
Buon uomo perchè mi stai a guardare
Non guardavo nè tè e le montagne nè il cielo neanche il mare
Quantalto puoi guardare
Ciò che guardo e una cosa indefinita
Sto guardando il miracolo della vita
The song "Paura e Nobiltà" by Gigi D'Agostino speaks about two different types of people and their mindsets. The first is a wealthy and successful person who has everything they could ever want, yet lives in fear of losing it all. His mind is infected with the fear of not possessing anything anymore. Such a person is created by the smallest of things, such as too much success or too many possessions. The fear of losing them becomes a part of their everyday thinking and drives them to be controlling and dominating.
On the other hand, the song speaks about a man who sees life's miracle in everything. This mysterious man, whom the singer meets one day, seems to be looking at everything with an intense and unfocused gaze. However, his words reveal that he sees something more profound than anyone else. He tells the singer that he is looking at the "miracle of life," and there is an indefinable quality to this observation. The singer is intrigued by the man's perspective and desires to talk with him more.
In conclusion, "Paura e Nobiltà" is a song that contrasts two characters that we encounter in our daily lives. One person is consumed by their desire for wealth and success, leading to a life filled with fears, stress, and a sense of scarcity. The other person lives in awe and gratitude for the miracle of life in everything. They find peace in every moment and appreciate every little thing. It is a song that encourages us to question our perspective and choose to live a life free from fear.

Basta un niente per creare un prepotente
It only takes a little to make someone become a bully
Tanti soldi e il successo tra la gente
Money and success among people
E la paura di non posseder più niente
And the fear of not having anything left
Questo basta a infettar la sua mente
This is enough to infect their mind
Lui si nasconte dietro un cellulare
He hides behind a cellphone
Perchè più facile non affrontare
Because it's easier than facing things
Tu non rispondi tu ti nascondi
You don't answer, you hide
E soltanto quando tu ti senti persa
And only when you feel lost
Allora si che cerchi tutto l'universo
That's when you search the entire universe
Ma che ti vada di traverso...
But it doesn't feel right to you
Un bel giorno ho incontrato un uomo strano
One day I met a strange man
Stava fermo e mi guardava da lontano
He was still and watching me from afar
Non so perchè ma gli volevo parlare
I don't know why, but I wanted to talk to him
Buon uomo perchè mi stai a guardare
Good man, why are you watching me?
Non guardavo nè tè e le montagne nè il cielo neanche il mare
I wasn't looking at the tea, the mountains, the sky, or even the sea
Quantalto puoi guardare
How much can you really see?
Ciò che guardo e una cosa indefinita
What I'm looking at is an undefined thing
Sto guardando il miracolo della vita
I'm watching the miracle of life
Sto guardando il miracolo della vita...
I'm watching the miracle of life...
