Description

Booking: [email protected] Growing up with a father who ran a radio station instilled an eclectic musical ethic in Dodi from an early age, giving him a strong foundation from the very start. For many years, he was a core resident at various clubs in Southern Italy, where he would often perform marathon sets—up to eight hours long—exploring a wide range of genres. This formative experience allowed him to master the art of guiding a dance floor through an unpredictable yet fulfilling journey that transcends conventional genre boundaries. Dodi describes himself as an artist devoted to eclecticism as a form of self-expression. In a recent interview, he elaborated on his unique approach: “I started DJing more than 20 years ago, and from the beginning, I was drawn to blending different genres and sounds. DJs play a crucial role in sharing music with people. I listen to a lot of music daily, which helps keep my perspective broad during the music production process. I enjoy experimenting and avoid being confined by classifications, even though it can be risky since the audience may not always know what to expect. But for me, it’s the only way to make music—I have to enjoy it first and foremost.” In addition to his DJ career, Dodi runs the label Engrave Ltd alongside his friend Musumeci, further contributing to his diverse and dynamic musical journey.
