When you randomly ask some Technoboy fans to describe their idol in one sentence, you can be sure the line “he is the King of hardstyle” will be spoken. That’s quite something, being compared to one of the biggest legends in the music industry. But the ones that have heard and seen Technoboy perform during the ten years of his still-going-on-strong career will understand why. Maybe his clothing style is less extreme than how we know the King of rock ‘n’ roll; it’s also flamboyant, trendy and something that
goes hand in hand with his personality. His enormous collection of Nikes in all shapes and colors will most probably contain some blue and suede ones. And although the hip shakes of Elvis will never be beaten, when the Italian hardstyle DJ is performing he doesn’t stop moving behind his DJ-booth. But the most important similarity is that both icons ARE their music. When you say hardstyle, you say Technoboy.
The story of Technoboy starts in Bologna, Italy in the second half of the 80’s, when a hard-working schoolboy named Cristiano Giusberti stepped into a local discotheque for the first time. What was nothing more to his peers than a night out without having to bother about books and teachers, appeared to be a life-changing event for Cristiano. It was like every fiber of his body soaked up the music and he knew after that night what his destiny was: to be that guy on the podium, making people feel the same as he just experienced. Some years, much practicing and a lot of money spent on dance records later, Cristiano became that guy.
In 1992 Cristiano’s musical career started. As DJ Gius he was offered a residency in an Italian club and in the following years many other clubs, like Pachito Club, Elixer Vitae, Escape, Station and East Side were added to his curriculum. In 1992 Giusberti also started working as an A&R manager for 'Route 66 Music Market for DJ's' and four years later also for ‘Arsenic Sound’. That’s where a new chapter in Cristiano’s life emerged: next to playing music, he started producing it. Again, his musical talents didn’t stay unnoticed: in 1999 he achieved worldwide fame with his DJ Gius remix of the track ‘Kernkraft 400’ by the German techno/electro project Zombie Nation. It was an important year for Giusberti: he also joined ‘Alternative Sound Planet’, that is part of one of the biggest record companies in the world: The SAIFAM Group. After finishing two tracks for the ‘Titanic’ label in October, Cristiano needed a cool and catchy alias for his production work. In Italy, ‘techno’ was a generic name for the different styles in dance music. It sounded good together with ‘boy’: Technoboy was born.
Technoboy gave a name and face to a musical style that took the dance scene by storm. Hard, energetic and banging dance music, but always supplied with a touch of Italian class and style: there couldn’t be a better name for it than hardstyle. In 2001, after almost a decade of performing as DJ Gius, Cristiano stepped into a plane to Holland, the dance capital of the world, where he played his first gig as DJ Technoboy. He injected his beats into the crowd and within a couple of years, the whole country was infected by the Italian hardstyle virus. And not only Holland: Technoboy made people in countries like Germany, France, Italy, South-Africa and Australia shake their hips, stomp their feet and clap their hands. He was a headliner at every major hardstyle event on the globe: famous Dutch parties like Mystery Land, (45,000 visitors), Hard Bass (12,000 visitors), Decibel Outdoor (20,000 visitors), Qlimax (25,000 visitors), Defqon.1 Festival (30,000 visitors) and Sensation Black (40.000) and parties like Tomorrowland (Belgium), Sonic (Switzerland), Planetlove (Ireland) and Airbeat One (Germany) are on his résumé. In 2009, X-Qlusive Technoboy was added to this list and this night, where everything revolved around Cristiano Giusberti and his music, was a crown on his career and a night he and his fans will never forget.
With more labels than any other hardstyle artist under his belt (Dance Pollution, Red Alert, Titanic Records, Bonzai Italy, Green Force and BLQ), Cristiano released an uncountable amount of tracks under more than 30 different aliases, such as Pacific Link, The Hose, Giada, The KGB's, Citizen, TNT, Hardstyle Masterz, Tuneboy, 2 Best Enemies and, of course, Technoboy. He did remixes for the biggest names in the hardstyle scene, mixed CD’s and has a discography that one easily could fill a book with.
Technoboy, the King of hardstyle: the comparison may be clear. And the good news is that Cristiano didn’t intend to leave the building yet: his main goal for the future is to spread his hardstyle-word all over the planet and share his unconditional love for his music with as many people as possible!
SUB ZERO PROJECT BIO:
They're fresh, they're focussed and they unquestionably demolish just about any crowd with their enormous, thrashing kicks and energetic semblance! In a matter of just a few short years, next-gen hardstyle heavyweights Sub Zero Project have risen to great heights, taking the hardstyle scene by storm with their rough, yet refreshingly interesting take on raw hardstyle.
The Sub Zero Project story began when Dutch youngsters Thomas Velderman and Nigel Coppen met on an online forum and decided to work on an initial collaboration track. However, after they realised their chemistry in the studio couldn't be ignored, the pair made the decision to team up for the long-term! Locked behind studio doors, the duo worked immensely hard to perfect their trademark rough, yet atmospheric sound before launching themselves onto Belgium's biggest Hard Dance label, Dirty Workz in 2014.
Alongside their esteemed discography that includes tracks “Madman” with Atmozfears, “Hit The Funk,” and their bootleg of VINAI's “The Wave,” the duo's biggest hit came along in 2015 which solidly cemented their name in Hardstyle. Floor-filler “Funky Shit” showcased a remarkable level of production, thus sparking an incredible breakthrough and generating support from pioneering names like Digital Punk, Endymion, Crypsis, Radical Redemption and more.
Deservingly earning their spot on lineups for Defqon.1, The Qontinent, Loudness, Dreamfields Festival, XXlerator, Reverze and Rebirth, the pair has ascended to victorious heights and their musical aptitudes can only promise a bigger and better future!
