Massimiliano Pagliara

Melodic house and disco house wizard, synth-heavy, emotional and nostalgic journeys.

Massimiliano Pagliara is an Italian-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer known for his hardware-driven blend of house, underground disco, and sleek techno. Originally moving to Germany to pursue a career in dance and choreography, he eventually pivoted to music, becoming a fixture of the local nightlife and a long-standing resident at Panorama Bar. His extensive discography includes standout albums like his 2014 release "With One Another" on Live At Robert Johnson and 2022's "See You In Paradise" via Permanent Vacation, alongside EPs for Ostgut Ton. Pagliara frequently collaborates with artists such as Jules Etienne and Chris Cruse, and he recently launched his own imprint, Funnuvojere Records, where he issued his 2024 EP "Hooking Up". Armed with a vast collection of analog synthesizers, he crafts a warm, colorful, and deeply emotional sound that bridges classic club sensibilities with contemporary dancefloor energy.
