Opulent Temple Presents: Layton Giordani + Syd Gris Sat. Oct 3 / 9pm - 2am / 21+ Walter Where?House (702 N. 21st Ave, Phoenix AZ) Layton Giordani Layton Giordani continues to reign as a trailblazer and now label boss of MADMINDS in the house and techno world, solidifying his presence at the forefront of the global scene. A New York native, Giordani’s journey into electronic music began in his teens, inspired by the legendary sets of Danny Tenaglia at Pacha NY. This profound experience drove him to pursue a career behind the decks, eventually securing a pivotal residency at Output NY in Brooklyn. Here, Giordani's talent flourished, catching the eyes of notable figures in the techno scene. Giordani’s big break came under the mentorship of Adam Beyer, the techno heavyweight behind the Drumcode label. With Beyer’s support, Layton’s debut ‘Unspoken’ EP on Truesoul, followed quickly by his debut on Drumcode with Rivington, marked his arrival as a rising force in the techno scene. His 2017 debut album ‘Where It Begins’ earned widespread acclaim, cementing his status as a significant player. The years that followed were marked by monumental collaborations and career-developing hits, including ‘Live Again’ with Danny Tenaglia and ‘Space Date’ with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet–the latter accumulating over 19 million streams on Spotify and reaching anthem status. Giordani's 2020 sophomore album ‘New Generation' was a bold step forward, blending influences from various genres while expanding the boundaries of his own sound. His versatility continued to shine in subsequent years with releases including the ‘Hyperworld’ EP, an energetic collaboration with HI-LO on ‘Rabbit Hole, ’ and a collaborative remix of “Voicemail’ with Green Velvet and Patrick Topping. These tracks not only gained widespread acclaim but also showcased his ability to reshape and reimagine tracks for a new era. By 2024 and into 2025, Giordani emerged as one of the most influential names in the house and techno scene, dominating charts and streaming platforms with tracks like ‘Last Night’ with Anyma which rocketed to #1 overall on Beatport and surpassed 100,000 daily streams on Spotify at its peak. In addition, PATT (Party All The Time)’ with Adam Beyer and Green Velvet, ‘Act Of God’ (nearing 3MM streams) and a monster remix of John Summit’s ‘Focus’ all topped the streaming charts. With heavy global radio support and a run of sold-out shows and major festival appearances including Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, and Tomorrowland—as well as his own run of headline production shows at Radius Chicago and Brooklyn Storehouse–Giordani has catapulted into a new era as an international heavyweight, firmly cementing his place among the genre’s elite. Into 2026, Giordani’s focus has been on championing his NYC-based label, MADMINDS, with releases from Adam Sellouk (‘Mind Dimension’ Remix), Roddy Lima (‘SIDE2SIDE’), and the label boss himself (‘When It Kicks’ ‘Hold It Down (DARE)’ , ‘Destiny’). With a label showcase at Factory Town during Music Week complete and a packed release calendar on the horizon, momentum continues to build and establish the label and its powerful new perspective, with Giordani at its helm as a tastemaker for the next generation of house music.
