Gino @ Hotel Panamera  / Tulum, MX 12.18.22

Gino @ Piknik

Like many Detroit DJs, Gino (@ginoisland)was profoundly inspired by the sounds and energy of Movement Music Festival at an early age. Through his interest in the Detroit scene, this would lead him to being the first intern for the group Soul Clap. Gino’s DJing flourished once he permanently relocated to Detroit. After a year of mixing records at TV Lounge before the Thursday night TV Dinner parties, he was offered a time slot at a residency called Snack Time; an event complete with home cooked food and local DJs which had 60 weekly shows before being held monthly. As the community around Snack Time grew, Gino’s taste and technique became refined, which would lead to him playing over 100 shows through 2018-2020 in the Detroit area. His vinyl and digital collections include everything from funk, soul, and hip-hop to deep house and techno, which makes his performances stand out from the rest of the crowd.In 2021 he released his debut EP on vinyl for Choose Better Friends Records in Detroit and later in the year had a single picked up for a Get Physical Music compilation. With plans to bring the Detroit and Chicago scene together through his party Snack Time and an EP coming out later this year inspired by his time living in Humboldt Park, things are only looking up for this versatile artist.
