Glowal didn’t show up to the scene quietly. They barged in with synths blazing and moods darker than your ex’s playlist. Within a few years, this Italian duo turned underground dance floors into emotional pressure cookers, building a sound that’s all about intensity, feeling, and that beautiful tension between melancholy and euphoria.
Techno heads everywhere started whispering their name in smoky clubs, jungle raves, and warehouse parties. Glowal became the go-to soundtrack for those late-night moments when you're fully out of your body. They’ve been invited to the wildest parties, played some of the scene’s most sacred stages, and somehow keep finding ways to leave dance floors wrecked and reborn at the same time.
Glowal didn’t grow up in Berlin warehouses or London basements. Fabio Giannelli was sneaking off to raves on Italy's southern coast, while Alessandro Gasperini was getting into trouble up north in Pisa. These weren’t conservatory nerds. They were kids chasing basslines before they were old enough to legally order a drink.
By the time they linked up in 2018, both had been carving out their own underground reputations. But when they teamed up, something snapped into place. Glowal was born, not in a polished studio with marketing plans, but in that chaotic sweet spot where instinct meets obsession.
Glowal’s sound doesn’t beg for attention. It grabs you by the shirt collar and pulls you straight into the void. It’s deep, emotional, weird in all the right ways. Their tracks don’t slap you with cheap drops or overused samples. They let tension simmer.
They love vocals, but not the cringe kind. Theirs are processed, shadowy, sometimes barely human. You’ll hear a line, and it’ll stick in your brain for hours. The vibe is post-human poetry over hypnotic basslines. They produce everything themselves, obsessing over every tiny detail, building tracks that feel handcrafted instead of slapped together for festival playlists.
Glowal makes techno that flirts with sadness. The kind of sadness that feels beautiful. Their music lives in the space between the comedown and the sunrise.
Glowal didn’t take the baby steps route. They dropped straight into the big leagues. Afterlife. Innervisions. Diynamic. Sapiens. TAU. Armada. Zamna Records. That’s not a resume, that’s a flex!
One of the first tracks that turned heads was "My Computer", a hypnotic collab with Adana Twins that slid into Solomun’s sets like it had always been there. Then came "Roda" with Simon Batten, an eerie and emotional track that became a staple in Tale Of Us’ Afterlife arsenal.
By 2020, they were in the Afterlife circle with "Behind Us" on the Unity compilation. Then came the album. Trigger Your Sense dropped in 2022 on Sapiens, and it hit like a full-body trip. Not just dance music but a mood board for beautiful weirdos who like their techno with a soul.
Then they did it again. Figures on Innervisions in 2023. Ethereal, cinematic, massive. The kind of track that makes a club feel like a cathedral.
And in 2024? "Confusion" with Adam Sellouk dropped like a bomb on Afterlife. Peak-time perfection!

If you’ve made it this far without blasting their tracks, it’s time to catch up. This is where the Glowal obsession begins:
While most artists are out here begging to get signed, Glowal said “nah” and built their own damn universe. It’s called Sementa, and it’s way more than a label.
Sementa isn’t trying to top Beatport charts or squeeze onto Spotify playlists. This is where Glowal lets their freak flag fly. Expect remixes, deep cuts, vocal experiments, and sounds that probably wouldn’t make it past a normal A&R meeting. That’s the point. No filters, no industry gatekeeping.
But here’s the kicker, Sementa isn’t just digital. It lives in the real world too. Glowal’s started throwing their own Sementa-branded events, curating lineups and atmospheres that match their energy.
Sementa is what happens when artists stop asking permission. It’s a middle finger to the algorithm. And for the rest of us? It’s an invitation into Glowal’s private universe!
Glowal doesn’t need to drop bangers every two weeks to stay relevant. They’re not chasing trends. They’re out here crafting soundtracks for people who actually feel something on the dance floor. That’s why their name keeps showing up on flyers with no explanation, because the people who know, know.
They’ve built a catalog that DJs worship and a vibe that ravers crave. No branding gimmicks, no influencer BS. Just raw, emotional techno that hits like a punch and lingers like a dream you’re not ready to wake up from.
Glowal doesn’t just play sets. And if you’re lucky enough to be in the crowd when it happens, you’ll leave a little more unhinged than you came in!
