ABOUT PAGANO — After cutting his teeth at a variety of events and clubs in his native Italy during the ‘90s, Pagano went on to establish high-profile residencies during the early 2000s at legendary LGBTQ+ houses Heaven and Trade, as well as EGG, London. In 2012, following years of service to Trade’s infamous parties, he was asked to mix Part 1 of what would become the iconic brand’s last ever officially released compilation. Going straight to #1 in the Beatport Techno Top 100, and additionally peaking at #6 in the overall chart, it went on to enjoy 10 days in its position and subsequently entered the iTunes chart (UK).
Equally as popular outside of the LGBTQ+ music communities, Pagano’s DJing credentials include world-class venues such as Amnesia, Space Ibiza, The Brooklyn Mirage, Privilege and Ministry Of Sound – sharing stages with Nicole Moudaber, Nina Kraviz and Boris from Berghain, to name a few. A firm favourite with labels such as Christian Smith’s acclaimed Tronic imprint and Mark Knight’s Toolroom Records, it is clear that Pagano’s unique perspective on the genre has earned him deserved kudos from industry peers and audiences alike. The Italian native’s lengthy selection of releases and years of service to both straight venues and LGBTQ+ events the world over, have worked towards bridging the gap between these two seemingly divided circuits.
