Simone Glad

Simone Glad is an Italian-born music producer and DJ now calling San Diego home, where he's been making waves in North America's underground scene with his fresh takes on Afro House and escapist dance sounds. Kicking off his DJ journey at just 16 with backyard parties back in Italy, he moved to the US about five years ago, mentored by Oscar P, and turned his passion into a full-time gig—blending ancient instruments, chants, and pulsating rhythms in tracks like "Shekere" feat. El-Jay and "Tu Vera" ft. BAQABO.

Always storytelling through his sets and songs, Simone draws from personal experiences and dreams, aiming to whisk listeners to forgotten places or keep the dancefloor lit. He's dropped heat on labels like Connected, Wired, and Frontline, with recent bangers including "Mine To Keep," "Awse's House," and "Singabantu Chant," and he's got a supportive crew—shoutout to his family, soon-to-be wife Renée, and early backers—fueling his rise. Catch him spinning at spots like Quartyard or underground techno haunts if you're in SoCal.
