About Gianni Teleska

Boards of Britain is the STAGE name I use for fronting my music. So who is Boards of Britain then? The man behind the music of Boards of Britain is Gianni Teleska (also known as Gianni Van Heusen) ,hailing from the Eternal City Rome / London UK & Sound Engineer Giacomo Fazio aka DJ Bokuwa .
My musical past is now very varied and I have over the last 25 years had a lot of tracks over various music HOSTING sites, but I have kind of settled here on the cloud, to date i have roughly 15000 Vinyls & Cds in total which I am chuffed with as it means my music is getting out there and obviously listened to, which is my goal.
I like a lot of styles such as Trance Hardhouse Freeform Acid Techno Ambient Psycadelic & Techno but usually prefer the electronic / synth genre and listen to anything from Kraftwerk / Tangerine Dream / Andy Pickford / Synthetik / Gary Numan / Vangelis / JMJ / I also like classic C64 SID chip tunes from the MASTERS like Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway, the missing master Pete Namlook & Klause Schulze etc, right up to modern cult artists like Armin Van Buuren, Daniel Kandi, Super8 & tab, Above & Beyond, Rank 1,Ferry Corsten, the Man Himself Paul Oakenfold without wich today we couldn’t have Music but the list is endless!!!....all these bands have influenced my musical style and approach greatly.
Our Set & Pa Lives and so my music always describe a story or depict feelings therefore our set are not only pieces of banging electronic dance music, but also representations of plenty of emotions, our base was the Eternal City Rome Approaching Music back on time were Acid House was in charge , then the world was devastated by the Techno Sound from Detroit so we were part of the Italian Techno Scene with Centro Suono Rave on Radio Centro Suono in Rome and by The 3Immaginary Boys & Marco Carola on the Parteneopean Music Scene of Naples, after around 1994 the Trance & Progressive Sound took over the World.

We moved back to London in 1996 surfing the Underground sound of Tony De Vit , Steve Thomas & Pete Wardman and witnessing the born of the Hardhouse Music, we were part of the majors Hardhouse & Psycadelic Music Events & Raves such as Escape From Samsara, Return to The Source, Trancentral, Pendragon and all the Events at The Fridge Club & Bar, George IV & Brixton Accademy in London along side our Friends & Dj Legends Zebedee, Gizelle, Mark Sinclair, Captain Tinrib and the one & only Tony De Vit at Trade
Boards of Britain 's vision combines the DRIVING forces of trance / electronic / synth music and shakes them into the ultimate electro cocktail with hard, fast and kicking basslines and drums with soaring lead lines and melodies.. all of these elements when combined make the tracks of our Set & Live Pa Radio Show memorable and foot tapping at the same time!

2014 was a memorable year for me because also I had the pleasure of meeting & work with Andrea Doria the most Influential Dj & Electronic Producer out of Italy, Bucci Bug was his best selling out Record, almost 3.5 milion copy selled around the World , along side Him we were making MINDFORM EP, a music Project of 4 set of Experimental Trance & Electronic Ambient Music to celebrate Federico Keegan an astonishing Electronic & Techno Producer out of Brazil.

Released in early 2016, the Astral Ambient EP was dedicated to the loving Memory of Sound Engineer Giacomo Fazio aka Dj Bokuwa who saddenly died on our last performance at the Fridge Club in Brixton London, now Boards of Britain raised from dust thanks to Sound Engineer Alessio Circi Aka Ix Prospectum of Dast recordings who come out from Berlin and reform along side Gianni Teleska the new Conception of their Music. Their sound continue to develop; growing in intensity and twisting into more complex, aggressive, and euphorically bent shapes
