Layton Giordani continues to reign as a
trailblazer and now label boss of MADMINDS in the house and techno world,
solidifying his presence at the forefront of the global scene. A New York
native, Giordani’s journey into electronic music began in his teens, inspired
by the legendary sets of Danny Tenaglia at Pacha NY. This profound experience
drove him to pursue a career behind the decks, eventually securing a pivotal
residency at Output NY in Brooklyn. Here, Giordani's talent flourished,
catching the eyes of notable figures in the techno scene.
Giordani’s big break came under the mentorship
of Adam Beyer, the techno heavyweight behind the Drumcode label. With Beyer’s
support, Layton’s debut ‘Unspoken’ EP on Truesoul, followed quickly by his
debut on Drumcode with Rivington, marked his arrival as a rising force in the
techno scene. His 2017 debut album ‘Where It Begins’ earned widespread acclaim,
cementing his status as a significant player.
The years that followed were marked by
monumental collaborations and career-developing hits, including ‘Live Again’
with Danny Tenaglia and ‘Space Date’ with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet–the
latter accumulating over 19 million streams on Spotify and reaching anthem
status. Giordani's 2020 sophomore album ‘New Generation' was a bold step
forward, blending influences from various genres while expanding the boundaries
of his own sound.
His versatility continued to shine in
subsequent years with releases including the ‘Hyperworld’ EP, an energetic
collaboration with HI-LO on ‘Rabbit Hole,’ and a collaborative remix of
‘Voicemail’ with Green Velvet and Patrick Topping. These tracks not only gained
widespread acclaim but also showcased his ability to reshape and reimagine
tracks for a new era.
In 2024, Giordani released 10 massive tracks,
including his remix of ‘Last Night’ with Anyma which rocketed to #1 overall on
Beatport and surpassed 100,000 daily streams on Spotify at its peak. Prior to
this, ‘PATT (Party All The Time)’ with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet also topped
the charts. Other notable releases from the year include ‘Paranoid’, Giordani’s
debut on the Experts Only label, his remix of Dom Dolla’s ‘girl$’, and first
official remix of deadmau5’s ‘Strobe.’
Coming into 2025, Giordani has become one of
the most influential names in the house and techno scene, rocketing into the
year with ‘Act of God’ (nearing 3MM streams), and followed up by a monster
remix of John Summit’s ‘Focus’—and ‘At Night’ with Anyma, passing the 3MM
stream mark just shy of two months post-release. Giordani’s tracks receive
consistent support across global radio stations, including heavy rotations from
Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, Mista Jam on Capital, KISS, and Diplo’s Revolution XM
radio.
Fresh off a series of sold-out shows and
high-profile festival plays—including headlining gigs in NYC and Space Miami,
the Yuma Tent at Coachella, and closing sets at EDC Las Vegas and elrow UNVRS
Ibiza—Giordani enters his 3-continent fall tour and new era as label boss full
of momentum, further cementing his place among the genre's elite.
