Born in a family where music was the ordinary meal, Gigi Testa started to collect music when he was a teenager, absorbing all the rhythms and melodies coming from his family room (such as Dire Straits and Pino Daniele) like a sponge cloth. Gigi started mixing music at 13 years old with 2 tapes using pre recorded cassettes. Shortly after, he bought his first mixer and turntables and started mixing his father's old vinyls like Earth Wind and Fire, Pink Floyd, Mick Jagger and Fela Kuti.
