Join us for the next episode of Snack Time. Gino invites the crew to jam on the wheels of steel at the Whistler.

Like many Detroit DJs, Gino was inspired by the sounds and energy of Detroit Movement Festival at an early age.

His mentor-seeking mentality led him to become the first intern for the group Soul Clap. He quickly made an impression at the legendary venue TV Lounge when he moved to Detroit, then became one of the club’s youngest residents. His party, Snack Time, complete with home cooked food and local DJs has run since 2018. Over the years, Snack Time has booked over 100 artists and become a fixture of the Detroit music scene, even as Gino has relocated to Chicago.

His vinyl and digital collections dive deep into funky, deep, and minimal sounds anchored by a house music foundation. In 2021 he released his debut EP titled “Crutches” on vinyl for Choose Better Friends Records in Detroit. Later that year, he released the single “Dam I Wrong” on Get Physical out of Berlin. Snack Time is in the process of launching into a label with a vinyl release on the way. Gino is driven by dance music and has a deep passion for the craft.
