New York City native Layton Giordani aims to push his status in the techno world as he stands behind a decade-long discography that aims to push him to the forefront of the next generation of underground producers. Now, he touches down on Factory 93 Records with his new single, ‘Better Than U Thought’.
This vocal-led techno track revolves around a hook whose croons sit atop running basslines, risers, percussion, harmonic accents, and an acid-fueled resolution.
Layton Giordani: “I was playing a Euro weekend in Amsterdam/Berlin, and I was looking to play a more driven techno set, but I also wanted a more sexy aesthetic, so I started surfing the web for vocals. I found this amazing slow vocal, sped it up, added an acid hook, and here we are.”
Giordani’s musical vision aims to serve as a contemporary voice for the younger generation. Spending years acquiring knowledge, the 28-year-old apparently possesses a wealth of experience far beyond his years as he aims to earn his rank in the upper echelon of techno.
Solely focused on his passion for music from just 13, his path forever changed at 19 years old after watching Danny Tenaglia perform live at Pacha NYC. Deeply inspired, he began to master his craft behind the decks, landing a residency at Brooklyn’s Output NY that would push his career into quick maturity.
He has released on labels such as Drumcode, Experts Only, Analytic Trail, and Intec and has remixed Dom Dolla, Green Velvet, Sam Paganini, Kevin Saunderson, and CamelPhat. He is set to embark on his debut North American Tour, which will include stops at the iii Points Music Festival, Sound Nightclub, The Church Nightclub, 45 East, EQ Nightclub, Das Energi, Concord Music Hall, and Seismic Dance Event at 1015 Folsom.
Layton Giordani - ‘Better Than U Thought’ is out now via Factory 93.
