Menini & Viani Biography

Michele Menini and Gianluca Viani have been working together as DJs and producers since 1989.

Their Dance and House music productions soon reached success. In 1994 Gianluca Viani’s Livin’Joy project reached top positions in the world charts, in particular with his single Dreamer. Still sharing the same love for the pure House music style and arrangements, Menini and Viani met again in 2008 to start a new project together. The first act of their partnership was the release of the single Dark Beat with Christian Key on vocals and recorded for Loudbit, Stefano Noferini’s recording label. Dark Beat aroused immediate interest and it has been played by international DJs to great effect, entering the world top charts sales. Their follow-up single La La Land met with similarly positive reactions and along with Dark Beat was among the most played records at the Winter Music Conference held in Miami in March 2009. In the same year another single with Terry B “ The Revolution”. In the summer 2009 they were awarded for being Best Italian remixers & producers.
