DJ Ivano

Among all the music that resonates through the nighttime streets of Miami, few of it gets dubbed as ¨the sound of South Beach.¨ No, we´re not talking about the vocal skills of the homeless people muttering to themselves but rather the synthesized psychedelic noise candy that pumps through nightclub speakers and won´t let you sleep. One of the main culprits for providing this sound is DJ Ivano Bellini. As one of Miami´s legendary DJs, Ivano has revolutionized the house-music scene since he moved down to South Beach in the early ´90s. He actually contributed to the fame of the original Club Space with his ¨Sunrise Sets¨ some years ago. Since it reopened at its new venue, Ivano continues to provide entrancing music to all the house junkies on the terrace of the club. Up here in Broward, Gryphon nightclub is also known for featuring the artist every Friday night. On July 6, the club will host a special night, dedicated to Ivano´s nomination as America´s Best DJ, through DJ Times Magazine. Not only has the Swiss-born superstar provided exemplary progressive house music throughout the United States but he also frequents various locales in Europe, South America, and Northern Africa. What´s more, Bellini is fluent in five languages. How hot is that?! If you haven´t experienced the matchless tunes spun out by the master, you can check out some samples from his latest CD, The Gryphon Session, by going to his website, www.sfprecords.com.
