Djs from Mars is an Italian DJ and production team, composed of Max Aqualuce (born August 3, 1979 in Turin) and Luca Ventafunk (born February 29, 1976 in Turin). They are known for their mash-ups of popular songs turned into electro dance music.
Background
The project started in 2003 after the meeting of young producers Luca Emanuele Ventafridda (aka Ventafunk) and Massimiliano Garino (aka Aqualuce), in Bliss Corporation,[1] an Italian label famous for the project of Eiffel65 in the late 1990s. Both of them were producing songs for the label under different nicknames, it's only after a few years and several tracks together that they initiated the common project "Djs From Mars".
Music
The duo produced a few song getting correct airplays over Italy such as "Non Dormo Più", "Dirty Mary" and "Don't Give Up". Among their discreet releases, it is not until they started releasing bootlegs and mash-up, that audience attraction's turned to them. Their particularity is the ability of mixing actual songs to old success to turn it into an electronic music track. Along their remixes and bootlegs, Djs From Mars released in 2011 their first single in 2 years, entitled "Insane (In Da Brain)" with the singer Fragma, licensing it in over 15 countries.
