Luigino Celestino Di Agostino, better known as Gigi D'Agostino, (born 17 December 1967, Torino, Italy) is a DJ, remixer and music producer. In 1986 he started his career as a DJ spinning Italo Disco, and releasing his first mix "Psychodelic". Gigi D'Agostino spent an eventful childhood between Torino and Brescia (where the Media Records studios are placed).
