Giovani, under the name of Switch, started his Dj career in 2000, 3 years after he won the Human Pattern and The Riddle DJ contest in 2003, then had his first residency in a small underground club called "Subroyal" in Bogotá, Colombia. He was playing all sorts of music from Electro,Techno, Tech‐house to Breaks. Spinning in the most popular clubs in Colombia's capital city, Bogota like Monitor, Barbarella, Arena, La Sala, 4Rooms and more ‐ this got the attention of Ultrabass collective whom in 2004 invited him to play at the Bogotraxx Festival which is a self‐funded independent festival with the objective to spread electronic art and music to the different sectors of Bogotá with free concerts and workshops. This festival has the participation of Djs from Germany and more European countries like France where this festival was celebrated simultaneously. Giovani’s participation in the arts and electronic music festival Bogotrax, propelled a European tour later on 2004 where he pinned in differents Clubs such us: Batofar (www.batofar.org), Glazart (http://www.glazart.com/), Rexclub (http://www.rexclub.com/), Le 4 sans (http://www.le4sans.com/), Le fleche d’or (http://www.flechedor.fr/), Technoparade 2005 (http://www.technoparade.fr/) Le Placard Headphones Festival 2005 (http://www.leplacard.org/) and private events until the end of the 2005’s summer. In 2006 Giovani moves to New York where he has played ever since his arrival ratifying his sometimes‐quirky, somewhat‐spacey always‐banging style of mixing, earning respect among the industry members and fans. In the big apple Giovani had his first residency at Bar 13 NYC become an active element of Biatch Corp collective and started techno parties and in 2008 was established also as a recording label. Biatch Corp collective was responsible of the debut artist in New York like: Joseph Capriatti, Stephan Bodzin, Perc and many more, the collective was selected between the top 5 techno parties in New York by the Time Out New York magazine, great accomplishment at that time in the constantly struggling New York scene.
