The Beginning
Born in 1979, Giorgio started making music in 1996 with one of those so-called “tracker” programs, namely FastTrackerII. For a long period this was his main hobby and making a song a day became a good exercise until in 1999 he was offered a deal to publish his track “The Moon and the Sun” under the “doktor noize dj” guise . The track was released on the italian label “Progressive Force”. The same company was also producing some of the best selling trance compilations in Italy for which he produced a good amount of exclusive tracks.

The Breakthrough
Giorgio Ponticelli’s breakthrough came in 2001 when he was approached by (the now closed) Boost Records regarding his track “Trance Unity”. The track was released and huge remix-competition was launched and advertised heavily on the media. The competition had a great success and soon a remix-edition was released through ZYX records and also licensed in Spain and on a compilation in Japan. The track got played from some of the biggest DJs in Germany such as Blank&Jones, Gary D and Tillman Uhrmacher (to name a few…) and is still on rotation on the legendary Digitally Imported Radio. The lyrics of the track were quite naif and cheesy but they were an hymn to Trance music in a moment where everyone was calling it a dead genre.
In the meantime  he had been invited to play at some of the world’s biggest dance events such as LOVEPARADE in Berlin and NATUREONE in Huensrueck. Needless to say that for a 20-years old that had only dreamt of publishing his music until that moment, this was quite an achievement!

Nowadays
During the last few of years Giorgio played at some of the coolest clubs in Europe such as Monday Bar & Headline (Stockholm, Sweden), Traffic (Tampere, Finland), Beatz (Salamanca), Club Future (Barcelona), Club Faces - Danza - Studio Live (Turkey) and more…
His radio shows on Digitally Imported such as: freQuencies, the World in the mix etc…have many fans but unfortunately due to a very busy scheduled they have now been discontinued…but not forever ;)
Due to his day-to-day work and carreer in management he is unable to find as much time as he would like for music, which resulted in a lack of releases during the last couple of years and also the website not being updated. Giorgio keeps making music as a hobby and you’ll keep hearing about it!
