Enrico Sangiuliano has had one hell of a year.

Having spun huge slots everywhere from Awakenings, Loveland, Sónar and beyond this summer, 2017 has seen him become something of a Drumcode mainstay, with his distinct brand of fluid and euphoria tinged sounds the perfect match for the techno Goliath’s fans.

And there’s no bigger testament to a main room techno DJ’s skill than getting the nod from Drumcode boss Adam Beyer, who 21 years into his reign at the top isn’t known to suffer fools behind the decks.

Sangiuliano’s DJ Mag Podcast is a hot off the press live recording from the Italian’s set at Club Borderline in Zurich on Saturday 7th October, where he played a Drumcode party alongside Bart Skils and Julian Jeweil.

Standouts from Sangiuliano’s selection are a pair of his own productions from the ‘Moon Rocks’ EP, which have been wreaking havoc on dancefloors for the Drumcode affiliate, in ‘Astral Projection’ and ‘Blooming Era’.

There’s also an unreleased gem from Victor Ruiz titled ‘Unveil’ that’s worth keeping your eye out for.

Listen to Enrico Sangiuliano’s exclusive DJ Mag Podcast above and check the interview and full tracklist on DJMag.com.
