Gino Montesano

Real Name:
Gino Montesano
Profile:
AQUAGEN – that’s the name for an extraordinary success story: Their debut-single IHR SEID SO LEISE and the follow-up track PARTYALARM brought techno-sound with german-speech to the top of the charts all over the world and AQUAGEN’s remake of the pop-classic HARD TO SAY I’M SORRY proofed, that even the downtempo-heros CHICAGO can rock the dancefloor. The 303-anthem PHATT BASS rocked with a big bass the worldwide hitlists and their chart-smashers EVERYBODY’S FREE in co-operation with ROZALLA and TANZ FÜR MICH featuring the well-known German comedian INGO APPELT let the story continue and made clear: AQUAGEN are no one-hit-wonders, they are far away from that ! If one would write down the „Who Is Who“ of the dance-scene, than AQUAGEN would be listed in the Top 10 of the most successfull German dance producers, no doubt. Eight single-charts hits, two chart-albums, lots of NO. 1 positions in the dance charts and equal quantity of honors like golden records and nominations for the Echo- or VIVA TV Music Award can’t be wrong. After their two longplayers ABGEHFAKTOR and WEEKENDER, AQUAGEN took a short break and now they hit the road once more – to loud to ignore: GINO MONTESANO is the face of AQUAGEN. He is a dj and producer with italian roots, born in Germany. He does not only bring his own Italian charm into the productions, but also in the dj sets. Meanwhile GINO is touring as a dj all over the world. Gigs in South Africa, Russia, Poland, Austria, Scandinavia, Spain, Canada or America are daily routine like spinning the records in his home country. Even if GINO performs all alone on the stage, it still becomes double-energetic in the studio: Former stage and dj-colleague OLAF DIECKMANN is active part in the AQUAGEN-productions as always. The secret of the success? GINO’s and OLAF’s simple formula – „It has to sound different !“ Their slogan, if they work day and night in the studio. No simple task ! But since both come from completely different musical directions, the most diverse influences provide adain and again new, fresh song ideas, which are in it’s combination simply different – AQUAGEN !
