GiGi FM

Combing sound and rhythm, music and dance with producer, DJ and label owner GiGi FM.  As a rising star in the music industry, GiGi FM takes us behind the scenes of her artistic process, revealing how her personal experiences shape her tracks. Paul and GiGi engage in an intimate conversation, recorded in the creative ambiance of a Berlin gallery, where she shares her story and how she infuses it with her music.

The episode then transitions to an exploration of the transformative power of music and dance and how they serve as conduits between our inner selves and the collective consciousness. Remember the first time you lost yourself in a dance or a melody? That's the flow state we explore here, through personal narratives and insightful discussions with a successful DJ who shares her rapid rise from underground parties to Boiler Room, Berghain, Fabric, NTS and beyond. We also delve into the nuances of reading a crowd, creating energy, and understanding the dynamics of a party.

The journey continues further, as we navigate through the vibrant nightlife of Berlin and Japan, discussing the unique energies at different raves. We also dive deeper into the life of GiGi FM, discussing her move to Berlin, her own imprint, Sea~rène, and her love for mythology. Through her story, we uncover the symbiotic relationship between creativity, music, and life itself.
