IN CONVERSATION WITH GIORGIA ANGIULI

Interview by Samo Šajn

Giorgia Angiuli is opening a new chapter in her career with the launch of her new label, WE HEAL. Known for her powerful live performances and melodic techno productions, the Italian artist is now exploring the connection between club music, sound healing, and emotional well-being. With her new single “We Rave, We Heal” and a forthcoming DJ health handbook, she’s aiming to bring a more conscious and restorative energy to the dancefloor.

You’re opening a new chapter in 2026 with your label WE HEAL. What made you feel that now was the right time to start this project?

Starting WE HEAL in 2026 felt natural rather than strategic. Over the years, my music has become more connected to who I am as a person and to what I believe music can do. I reached a point where I needed full coherence between my inner world, my artistic language, and the way I release and share music.

Healing is not just a theme in my sound, it’s a life mission for me. Music has always been my way of transforming emotions, energy, and experiences into something that can resonate with others on a deeper level. Creating WE HEAL means creating a space that is fully aligned with this vision, a place where sound, intention, and frequency meet.

It’s about giving my music a home that reflects the idea of music as a tool for connection, transformation, and awareness. At this moment in my life and career, I felt ready to take responsibility for that vision in a more complete and honest way.

You’ve spoken openly about experiencing anxiety during your career as a DJ. How did that period change your relationship with music and the club world?

I believe being an artist today is extremely demanding. We live under constant pressure, touring, expectations, visibility, and without a strong inner balance, this can easily lead to burnout. I went through a period of anxiety and panic attacks, and it showed me how fragile we can be when we don’t give ourselves the care and love we truly need.

For a long time, I thought I had to show only my strongest side. But I realized that healing begins when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and honest, first with ourselves and then with others. That experience changed my relationship with music and with the club world. Music became a language of self-care and transformation, not just performance.

Today, I see the dancefloor as a space we can co-create together, a place where music, energy, and intention meet. A space where people don’t just come to escape, but to release, reconnect, and feel supported. I truly believe that when we share music with awareness, we can build something deeper than a party. We can build a healing space together.

What was the turning point that led you to study spirituality and sound healing more seriously?

I’ve always had an inner dialogue with God since I was a child, but there were some experiences that made this connection much more conscious and necessary. The loss of my mother was a very deep turning point in my life, and it pushed me to search for meaning beyond words and beyond pain.

My first journey to India, and reading Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda, opened a new door for me, showing me that spirituality and sound can be real tools for transformation and healing. From that moment, I started to study these subjects more seriously, not as concepts, but as a living part of my artistic and personal path.

For me, beyond any religion, the real goal has always been the same, to keep following the light.

Your new single “We Rave, We Heal” stays true to your techno roots, but with a healing intention behind it. How do you balance peak time energy with emotional well-being?

Trauma and emotional wounds that we all have often stay stored in the body, not only in the mind. We live in an era of constant overthinking, and sometimes words are not enough to process what we feel. That’s why starting from the body is so important. Dancing becomes a therapeutic act, a way to release tension, unblock emotions, and reconnect with yourself through movement.

For me, balancing peak time energy with emotional well being means using high BPM as a physical activation but pairing it with conscious messages and intention. My formula is exactly that, strong, driving rhythms combined with awareness. In this way, the dancefloor can become more than just a party. It becomes a shared space where we move, feel, and heal together as a community.

You incorporate specific sound frequencies into your productions. Can you explain how certain frequencies can affect the nervous system and emotional state?

I’ve always been a huge lover of the Solfeggio frequencies, but at this stage of my life, I’m not using them on the dancefloor. Right now, I’m experimenting with other ways to guide the energy in my sets. I don’t rely on specific frequencies. Instead, I focus on the dynamics of the set, creating a balance between dopamine activation and dopamine detox.

Sometimes I even play a few well known tracks, something I would never have done before, because familiar music naturally triggers dopamine release, giving the audience moments of joy and connection. This helps amplify the emotional flow and makes the healing journey through the set even more effective.

I also create intentional pauses where I sing positive messages and project visuals with affirmations, so the audience can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.

Currently, I’m working a lot with the TB 303. It creates a fascinating sonic texture that I also use in my sound healing sessions. The note patterns are constant, but the oscillation keeps shifting, creating a kind of dynamic meditation. It is active, moving, and immersive rather than passive. It allows the body and mind to engage fully with the rhythm, while still giving space for emotional release and subtle transformation.

For me, the goal is always to make the dancefloor a space that is powerful, energizing, but also healing, where people can move, feel, reset, and leave with a sense of alignment and well being.

WE HEAL is more than just a label. How would you describe its wider mission within club culture?

WE HEAL is more than just a record label. It is a concept and a vision for club culture. I see the club as a modern temple, a space where we can allow ourselves to be vulnerable and authentic, without masks. Here, we can cry during a drop, move our bodies freely, and feel safe while doing it.

It’s a place to be fully present, to take a break from screens and distractions, and to care for ourselves through music, movement, and shared energy. WE HEAL aims to create this kind of conscious environment, where the dancefloor becomes a space for emotional release, connection, and personal transformation.

The label is just the beginning. Hopefully soon we will start building events that expand this community, giving people a space to come together, move, feel, and heal collectively.

You’re creating a free digital DJ Handbook with Dr Davide Aruanno. What inspired you to develop something so practical for artists on the road?

Davide Aruanno, Giovanna Calderoni, and other doctors came together with me to create this handbook because I know firsthand how challenging it is to travel constantly as a DJ. Long flights, irregular schedules, and the pressures of performing can take a real toll on your body and mind.

With their expertise, we developed a simple, practical guide for artists on tour. It is a 360 degree approach from a neuro psycho immunological perspective, designed to help DJs take care of themselves holistically while on the road.

The handbook covers topics like jet lag, cortisol management, supplements and alcohol consumption. Why do you think these conversations are still missing in the electronic music industry?

It’s not only in electronic music. In our world, there’s still very little knowledge about energy, about how our body and mind are interconnected, and about how lifestyle choices affect performance and well being. We live in a society where many topics are still taboo, and we often don’t see ourselves in a holistic way.

As artists, we are constantly expected to appear strong, confident, and in control. There’s a lot of pressure to always perform not only on stage but in life, and that makes it hard for people to show their truest side, their vulnerability.

Conversations about jet lag, cortisol management, supplements, or alcohol consumption are still rare because they touch on aspects of our humanity that we’re often afraid to admit or address.

For me, raising awareness about these topics is part of a bigger vision. It is about encouraging emotional intelligence, self-care, and holistic well-being in an industry and in a world where it’s easy to forget that we are energetic beings, not just performers. By talking openly about these things, we create space for artists and for everyone in the community to feel seen, supported, and empowered to take care of themselves without shame.

Looking ahead, how do you hope WE HEAL will shift the way people experience techno on the dancefloor?

Looking ahead, I hope WE HEAL can transform the way people experience techno on the dancefloor. My vision is for conscious dance, a space where people can fully release negative emotions, reconnect with their bodies, and feel supported while moving.

I want the dancefloor to be more than just music and beats. It should be a place of emotional freedom, collective energy, and healing, where everyone can show up as their true self and leave feeling lighter, inspired, and aligned.
