Layton Giordani — May 2026

Layton Giordani is an American DJ, producer, and sound designer who has built one of the most distinctive careers in the American underground techno scene. Originally from New York City, Giordani developed his craft through years of performing in the city's underground clubs before being signed to Adam Beyer's Drumcode label — one of the most prestigious imprints in global techno — where he has released multiple acclaimed records and established himself as one of the label's key American voices. His productions are characterized by precise sound design, tension-building arrangement, and the ability to reach peak-time intensity through craft rather than spectacle — qualities that have made him a sought-after performer at Europe's premier techno festivals and clubs including Awakenings, DGTL, and Fabric. Releases on Drumcode and appearances alongside Adam Beyer on joint tours have cemented his position as one of the most respected American techno producers working in the international underground. In the United States, Giordani has been instrumental in elevating the American techno scene, bridging the gap between Europe's deep underground culture and the American club audience that has increasingly embraced harder, more uncompromising electronic music. At LIV at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Giordani's 2026 residency brings genuine underground techno credentials to a venue more typically associated with commercial EDM and tech house. His LIV residency represents an important programming statement — signaling that the Las Vegas nightlife market has matured enough to include peak-time techno in its resident rotation alongside the commercially oriented programming that anchors the main calendar.
