> After conquering dance floors and pop charts across Europe, Italian superstar Gigi D'Agostino aims directly for America with his powerful new Arista Records album L'Amour Toujours. Deftly combining progressive Euro dance floor beats with an uncanny sense of pop melody, D'Agostino has come up with one of the most satisfying, hit-packed dance collections in recent memory. From the exhilaratingly magical vocals of his recently re-released debut single "I'll Fly With You" to the irresistible hooks of "The Riddle" to the liltingly romantic "Elisir (Your Love)," D'Agostino proves his talent at combining underground with commercial sensibilities to come up with a truly original sound. D'Agostino began his career in 1995 with the legendary Media Records - the Italian label best known for the international success of 90s dance acts Cappella, Club House and 49ers. His first hits "Bla Bla Bla," "Cuba Libre," and "Elisir (Your Love)" made a significant dent in the European club charts. L'Amour Toujours arrived in 2000 and spawned several massive European pop hits, including "Another Way," "The Riddle," and "La Passion," which sold over 750,000 copies in Germany. All told, D'Agostino has sold over five million records around the world. A self-confessed night owl, D'Agostino's non-stop work as a DJ, producer and artist has propelled him to the top of the European dance scene, as one of its most respected talents. His sound, which he dubs "Mediterranean Progressive," incorporates minimal production, catchy melodies and lots of Latin and Mediterranean flavors. D'Agostino believes that music has no boundaries and that cultures are not impassable. "Dance is a language," he says. With this language, this artist is crossing boundaries and impacting cultures worldwide. The secret to his success? His answer is simple: "Thanks to your discipline you can realize all your dreams."
