NYC’s Layton Giordani has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the last two years. A debut album Where it Begins on Drumcode in early 2017, was followed later that year with “Live Again”, his collaborative track with Danny Tenaglia, that was heralded as one of the year’s strongest techno records.
In 2018 he’s come up trumps with a three-way production with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet titled “Space Date” and this week he dropped “Phase II”, his first solo EP of the year on Drumcode. It’s a powerful four-track work with tracks highlighting gigs everywhere from Berghain to Amsterdam’s famous Gashouder.
From humble beginnings in his native NYC as an Output resident, to being thrust into the bustle of the European club and festival circuit, he’s enjoyed a stint living in Amsterdam, growing and developing over this time. All these experiences have had a fundamental influence on him and his music. The four-track EP Phase II represents a new chapter for this exciting talent.
Beyond music, Giordani’s passion runs deep for the Empire City. He shares his favourite go-to spots for eating, drinking and partying.
