I was honoured to be invited by @iuav_venezia to perform at the celebration of its 100th anniversary. A standard set of house or disco would have not done justice to the statue of this occasion, so I decided to play only new wave, proto-techno and early trance.
Iuav is the second-oldest school of architecture in Italy. Over the years, it has welcomed some of the most influential architects in history, including Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Tadao Ando.
As teenagers, my friends and I would often climb Carlo Scarpa's iconic Tolentini portal late at night and lie on the canopy above the entrance, looking at the stars.

Italian DJ and producer @dj_spiller is bringing his signature sound to Brighter Daze this January ☀️
Best known for his iconic hit ‘Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)’, Spiller made dance music history when Sophie Ellis-Bextor came on board to add vocals to his original instrumental. The track went on to achieve huge international chart success, becoming one of the most recognisable dance anthems of its era.
With fresh remixes from Melbourne's Not Without Friends crew bringing the record to a new generation, there's plenty of reason to get excited.
Get ready for feel good energy and a dancefloor made for summer when Spiller joins us this January 🧡
See Spiller live. Tickets in bio 🎟️

Me and my Pinarello. The Venice Film Festival has always been a solitary experience for me, except a few occasional screenings with friends. It would otherwise be impossible to watch that many movies. Even though she has never actually seen a film, my yellow bike has been my only faithful companion for the last two decades, rushing with me from one screening to another. It was custom built for a player of the Benetton basketball team, my mate @cento_canesio found it in a second hand shop and made me buy it.

We never see her but she is the voice announcing the movie delegations in Sala Grande since... forever!? Legend!
If you think it's an easy task you'd better think twice. So many very difficult names to pronounce all day, I remember many being misspelled back in the past. Now she's become impeccable.

I was forwarded these voice messages from a customer who wasn’t happy with my set last Wednesday. He said I played too soft, at 118 BPM all the time, that it was boring and that it looked like I was just there to do an easy job. He used the word “compitino” (easy homework). He also complained because I didn’t play Groovejet.
I appreciate the feedback, which is partly correct.
Unfortunately, I was never very good at doing my homework at school, let alone now. Doing my homework would have meant playing a safe, predictable set: giving people exactly what they expect, dropping the current “bangers”, taking no risks.
Or, of course, playing Groovejet, probably the easiest “compitino” DJ Spiller could possibly do.
I arrived at a stunning Palladian villa, with a beautiful restored 1970s Cerwin Vega sound system and a great crowd. It put me in the mood to start soulful and, seeing people respond, I followed that path: records I rarely get to play, vocals, new music and early ’90s house.
About BPMs: for 30 years I’ve heard that a warm-up must start slow and gradually go up, with 120 BPM as some terrifying line you shouldn’t cross. But who decided that?
There are records above 130 BPM perfect for a warm-up and others at 100 BPM you could play at the hottest moment of the night. Energy is not determined by BPM.
I know a set like that disappointed some people expecting something “easier”, and I’m sorry, because our job is to make people have a good time.
But I’m also fairly sure I won a few people over by making them enjoy something they weren’t expecting to. And those few people are worth their weight in gold.
A tech-house drum roll that makes you dance out of sheer inertia will probably be forgotten five minutes later. A record that genuinely moves you is something you take home with you.
If I’m not having fun myself, I don’t know how to make other people have fun. I’ll accept the consequences of that.
As DJs, we always want to climb higher, to reach the sun like Icarus, often forgetting how that story ends.
I still have dreams to chase, but I’ve also learned what I truly want from this passion, and where I feel at home.
