Supernova are Emiliano Nencioni and Giacomo Godi; an Italian DJ and production duo that have over the last decade made the transition from rising stars to established international talent and are now recognised as artists and performers of enviable stature.
Both Emiliano and Giacomo are classically trained musicians, something they believe has set their approach to electronic music apart from many of their peers, granting them the technical abilities and theoretical know-how to produce the music they want without restriction.
Taking their lead from the music of their youth – everything from Chicago house, acid house, hip hop, funk and acid jazz – they achieved their first notable success in 2007 when Sony BMG released their debut album ‘Downtown Underground, which included collaborations from the likes of GrandMaster Melle Mel.
Their probably biggest first hit comes in 2010 with “Beat Me Back” the collaboration with Detroit techno master Kevin Saunderson hitting the top 10 Beatport chart for several weeks. Following this and many other big releases, the
duo have been asked to remix some of the biggest classics of the House Music such as Frankie Knuckles “The Whistle Song”, Kerri Chandler “Bar A Thym”, Jakatta “American Dream” and Romanthony “What Money Love” just to
name a few. One of the more significant relationships of recent years has been Supernova’s continuing affiliation with house giant Defected Records. Defected has released a number of the duo’s productions including remixes of seminal records ‘Can You Feel It’ and ‘Strings of Life’ as well as 4 Eps.
2013 marks the 10 anniversary of Supernova and the duo is asked to mix one third of the long-running and acclaimed Defected In The House Miami compilation series.
The Italian duo has recently released tracks on Defected, Get Physical Music, 8Bit, Mother Recordings, Elrow Music, Moon Harbour, Kling Klong, Stereo Productions, Toolroom, King Street Sounds and Nervous Records.
In 2015 the Nyc label King Street Sounds has released the “House Legend” album series dedicated to Supernova.
The releases have been supported always by a hot touring schedule that have seen Supernova playing some of the most important club and festival worldwide like Monegros Desert Festival, Kazantip Festival, The Bpm Festival (Mexico & Portugal), Soultech Festival (Mexico City), Elrow (Ibiza & Barcelona), Ministry Of Sound (London), Amnesia (Ibiza), Space (Ibiza), Cavo Paradiso (Mykonos), Heart (Miami), Space (Miami), Cielo (Nyc), Sound (LA), Spybar (Chicago)...
“We believe in this rule: ‘work hard, hard, hard with a smile on your face always trying to do something better than the day before’. Following this rule has made us growing up step by step overcoming the difficult moments and getting the best possible results”.
For Supernova, music is their life, their language and a huge part of their relationship with others people.
