Luigi Madonna is the Italian DJ/producer from the Neapolitan town of Campani who celebrates 10 years of releasing main room techno for some of the biggest labels on the planet this year.

A mainstay of Adam Beyer’s Drumcode – with three EPs under his belt for the imprint – Madonna has put his productions to one side to focus on DJing for 2018.
