Gianni Blanco on the pod this week. Had some audio issues for the first half. Apologies on that one. This was my first time actually sitting down and chatting with Gianni so it was fun getting to know him as a person as well as a dj. Gianni has made huge progress in a short amount of time and we get into his origin story and how he moved from open format to his 90s underground sound.
