Friday, November 29, 2024 - “Though often associated with meditative music, I believe techno, when crafted with intention, can be deeply healing, uplifting, and transformative.” This is the ethos that Italian producer, multi-instrumentalist, and live electronic music innovator Giorgia Angiuli embraces in her new EP, ‘Eye Contact’, released today on Armada Music.
The project explores themes of spirituality, creativity, and meditation across five tracks ranging from techno to psytrance. At its heart lies its title track—a long-awaited collaboration with Australian DJ and producer Juliet Fox—from which the EP draws its name. The duo first crossed paths at a festival earlier this year, sparking an instant musical connection and the beginning of a close friendship, united by their shared vision of fostering unity and freedom through a blend of their unique styles. Together, the two trailblazers channeled their creativity synergy into ‘Eye Contact’, crafting an immersive journey through rhythm, sound and transcendence.
Unlike any of her previous projects, Angiuli adopted a fluid, hybrid approach to the EP’s production, allowing the music to move organically and resonate both physically and emotionally. Drawing from her arsenal of unusual objects that she incorporates into both her production style and live sets, she tapped into this unique collection of unconventional items, including plush animals that produce sounds, each with distinct names. Across ‘Break The Dawn’, ‘Nothing is Far’, “Nietzsche’, ‘A Good Addiction’, and now ‘Eye Contact’, each track builds on swift arpeggios, hypnotic synth stutters, and suspenseful vocals to create an entrancing and deeply meditative listening experience.
Giorgia Angiuli says, “I’m so excited that ‘Eye Contact’ is finally out in the world. The project brings a fresh perspective to hybrid techno by weaving positivity into powerful beats and rhythms, and each track invites listeners to connect deeply, exploring resilience, presence, and inner strength.”
A strong advocate for women’s empowerment, Angiuli also launched a remix contest exclusively open to female artists in partnership with Change the Beat, a non-profit organization that supports underrepresented voices in electronic music. Change the Beat champions access to mentorship, workshops, and networking for electronic music artists, producers, and DJs. The contest winner will be eligible for an official release of their remix, while the second and third place winners will receive gear from Native Instruments.
