MOVEMENT: music by Giovanni di Mola

No flashing lights, smoke machines or over the top mc'ng. Just pure, well thought out enjoyable dance music for all. Djing events with special attention to working with client's choices in music to make their party and celebration incredible! A decade ago I relocated Upstate to Hudson, NY and began playing house parties & garden events followed by town nightspots like The Hudson River Theatre, Jason's Upstairs Bar, The Red Dot, Helsinki Hudson and The Basilica and more. My sets feature a mix of dance music genres from around the world from past to present – including New Wave, Indie, Disco/Nu-Disco, Electro, Rock, Motown and beyond. "DJ's were my Gods (and still are!) Especially about listening to your audience while playing from your heart! I Love to dance...therefore love to play music for dancers!" – Giovanni di Mola / DJ GIO

A little bit of a summer mix to warm up the season! xo Giovanni

You’re on your way to a party at someone’s family’s mansion. There’s no address. Just a note in the invite: “Turn right at the Meeting House, then down a mile or so til you see an old iron gate on your right. The buzzer is broken, just push it open.” So you do. And you wind the car up the hillside, into an ancient grove of evergreens that doubles as a makeshift parking lot. In the distance you hear music – rhythmic, thumping. There. The mansion on the hill, a disheveled behemoth of moss and vine. The music gets louder as you grow near, and you follow it around the side of the greenhouse, under the arbor, to the back patio alive with laughter, dancing – an afternoon let loose. Where am I? you wonder, as friends emerge from the crowd to take your arm and pull you in. “What took you so long??” Playlist: 1. Summer Breeze (Intro edit) – Seals & Crofts 2.
