Leonardo Gonnelli

With more than a decade on the global scene, Leonardo Gonnelli stands out as one of Italy’s most distinctive electronic music artists. Born in Florence, he began his DJ career in 2001, inspired by the raw energy of acid house and Detroit techno that shaped the ’90s. His refined yet powerful sound — deep, groovy and timeless — has earned support from icons such as Seth Troxler, Loco Dice, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Jamie Jones, Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Sven Väth and Dubfire. From Pacha Buenos Aires to Space Miami, BPM Festival, Dockyard (ADE) and Sonar Off Week in Barcelona, Leonardo has brought his vibrant, immersive sets to some of the world’s most celebrated stages. In 2014, his collaboration with Chus & Ceballos on “Soledad” (Stereo Productions / Defected Records) became a milestone: six months in Beatport’s Tech House Top 100 and a nomination for Best Track at the Vicious Music Awards. The following year marked another turning point with his collaboration on Seth Troxler’s Play It Say It, expanding his global reach and artistic evolution. Driven by passion and precision, Leonardo Gonnelli continues to craft music that connects emotion, rhythm and innovation — a journey that keeps pushing boundaries, dancefloor after dancefloor.
