In an engaging and heartfelt conversation at the Nexus Lounge, DJ Ron from Nexus Radio sat down with internationally respected DJ and producer Remo Giugni for an intimate look into a career shaped by evolution, emotion, and an unwavering love for music. What followed was a warm exchange filled with reflection, humor, and insight from an artist whose journey spans decades.
Asked to describe Amsterdam in a single word, Remo Giugni didn’t hesitate—amazing. The city’s vibrant music culture, architectural beauty, and artistic legacy clearly resonate with him, reinforcing why it remains such an important hub for creative exchange. That sense of inspiration naturally led into a broader reflection on how DJing and production have transformed over time.
Having begun his career more than 30 years ago, Remo Giugni spoke openly about the shift from analog formats to today’s digital workflows. While technology has dramatically changed performance and production, he sees it as an enhancement rather than a replacement for creativity. Digital tools, he explained, have expanded what’s possible, making DJing more fluid and expressive—but the magic still lies in musical intuition and craft.
That passion for creation is as strong as ever. Remo Giugni teased an upcoming collaboration with a major DJ from Brazil, with the potential addition of a well-known Brazilian singer. The project reflects his continued curiosity and desire to collaborate across borders, blending cultures and sounds into something fresh.
During DJ Ron’s rapid-fire segment, Remo revealed influences that extend beyond EDM, citing classic house as a foundational inspiration. One particularly moving moment came when he spoke about his track “Once Upon a Time in Florence,” a deeply personal tribute to his hometown. The song, he shared, still brings him to tears when he plays it—a reminder that music can carry memory, place, and emotion all at once.
The conversation took a reflective turn when Remo Giugni addressed failure. Rather than avoiding the topic, he spoke candidly about how painful setbacks can be—and how valuable they are. Mistakes, he said, are lessons that refine perspective and strengthen resolve. His advice to emerging artists was clear: don’t confuse technology with talent. Tools can assist, but craftsmanship and understanding are irreplaceable.
Looking ahead, Remo Giugni shared a dream that perfectly captures his spirit—to perform weekly in different world capitals, fully immersed in the cycle of producing, DJing, and connecting with crowds. For him, that balance represents the completion of a lifelong musical journey. Listen to the full interview below.
