GIORGIA ANGIULI: WE RAVE WE HEAL


The first time I witnessed a Giorgia Angiuli performan- ce, I didn’t just hear music—I felt it crawl beneath my skin, pulse through my nervous system, and settle in the cavity of my chest like a sentient echo. To call what she does “live electronic music” feels limiting, almost unjust. Angiuli doesn’t simply perform; she conducts rituals. Her sets are alchemical, swirling with analog instruments, digital machinery, a childlike ensemble of toys, and her


spectral voice. The result is an


experience that transcends the cerebral architecture of club culture. It becomes something else entirely—a shared emotional topography that flickers between joy, melancholy, and revelation.


This is no accident. Giorgia Angiuli is not your average producer nor your standard performer. Trained in classical guitar and steeped in academic musical discipline, she has undergone a radical metamorphosis over the past decade. Her work today defies easy categorization: it is as intimate as a diary and as expansive as a mantra. What unites her prolific output—from immersive albums to high-voltage EPs and globally praised live shows—is a relentless pursuit of emotional truth through sound.


When I connected with Angiuli for Mixmag NL’s April Digital Cover, I wanted to peel back the layers of this singular artist. What drives someone to evolve from the rigors of classical tradition into a prophetess of Healing Dance Music (HDM)? What unseen forces compel her to merge harder, faster rhythms with spiritual inquiry? How does a MIDI controller become an oracle, a theremin a therapist?


Throughout our dialogue, we traced her path from conservatory to cosmic communion,


touching on


themes as vast as trauma, euphoria, rebellion, neuroscience, and the technological soul. What emerged was a portrait not only of an artist at her most fearless, but of a woman deeply attuned to the frequencies that bind us.


This isn’t just an interview. It’s an initiation into a worldview where every beat is a breath, every synth a signal, and every performance a portal. Giorgia Angiuli is a cartographer of inner


landscapes, and she’s inviting us all to dance our way back home.


FROM CLASSICAL ROOTS TO SONIC HEALING


“My musical evolution has been a profound and transformative journey. Starting with classical roots (I studied classical guitar), I learned the importance of structure and discipline. However, over time, I felt the urge to break free from these conventions and explore expressive freedom and improvisation. This transition expanded my perception of music as a universal language capable of connecting people on a deep emotional level. I love all kinds of music and I play from classical to metal, electronic, etc.”


In her own words, Angiuli positions herself as an explorer of sonic realms, unshackled by genre or tradition.


This open-armed approach to sound


would later crystallize in her project We Heal, a sonic sanctuary where performance becomes ritual.


During the COVID pandemic, I decided to delve into topics related to music and anxiety, which significantly


impacted my transformation. This


exploration deepened my understanding of how music can serve as a tool for emotional regulation and healing. I began to recognize the therapeutic power of sound, particularly during times of uncertainty and distress.”


Angiuli doesn’t peddle escapism; she offers reclamation. In her hands, melody becomes medicine, and rhythm, a restorative rite.


Psychedelic Frequencies and Emotional Acceleration


“In this chapter of my life, I’ve embraced a notable shift toward faster tempos and intensified textures, gravitating toward genres like psytrance and hypertechno. This acceleration in rhythm unlocks a powerful spectrum of emotions within me—emotiona- lly, somatically, and spiritually.”


The transformation isn’t cosmetic; it’s metaphysical. Angiuli’s turn toward higher BPMs is less about trend and more about transcendence.


“Playing faster can be incredibly therapeutic, as it invites listeners to engage physically


with the


music... I like to refer to it as Healing Dance Music (HDM)... these intensified rhythms serve as a reminder of our resilience and the transformative power of music in navigating the challenges of our lives.”
