Kingsizebed (aka ioio) has been moving between house, acid, electroclash and techno since the late ’90s, with a sound that is always groove-driven and sexy. Based in Milan and originally from Verona, his journey began in the live electroclash scene and later evolved into a broader, dancefloor-focused language shaped by rhythm, tension and release. Resident DJ and longtime host of Vitamina and Solida, two Milan-based queer parties he has been running for years around safer spaces, connection, he has helped shape spaces that are now key reference points in the Italian queer nightlife landscape. Vitamina, active since 2016, merges music with art, installations and performances, often in open-air settings where daytime dancing becomes a collective reset. Its visual identity is curated by Gabriele Papi, whose site-specific installations transform each edition into a new world. Solida, active since 2019, brings a more direct techno-house attitude while keeping the same community-first approach: consistent, welcoming and barrier-free. In 2020, Vitamina expanded into Vitamina Musica record label. Kingsizebed has performed at queer festivals, parties and clubs including Whole Festival, Tresor, KitKat, OXI, Renate, Gegen, Members, Cuddles and Power Dance Club in Berlin, as well as PorDetroit in Mexico City — always with the intention of building dancefloors where people can feel free, held and connected.
