Hailing from Italy but based in London, Pagano divides his time between DJing, music production, running a label and events. Initially breaking through in the London scene, playing at various venues across the capital and picking up a loyal following.
UK based Italian Pagano has a pretty serious CV. Playing a blend of House and Techno with his own reworks of classics, Pagano has crafted a solid niche for himself.
