Michele Noschese, aka Godzi, a 35-year-old Neapolitan DJ and producer who had been a key figure in the international electronic music scene for years, died in Ibiza on the night between Friday and Saturday. Sources close to the family have confirmed the news.
Noschese had moved to the island, a symbol of European nightlife, about ten years ago, where he had built a solid and recognized career, playing in renowned clubs and participating in festivals in various cities around the world. With his distinctive sound and creative approach behind the decks, Godzi had managed to conquer an international audience, while remaining tied to his Neapolitan roots.
The circumstances of his death are still unclear. Spanish authorities have launched an investigation to reconstruct the final days and hours leading up to his death.
Messages of condolence from friends, colleagues, and fans have been pouring in on social media in recent hours: a testament to the void his passing leaves not only in the Neapolitan community but also in the world of electronic music, where Godzi earned recognition for his talent, passion, and humanity.
It's sad to hear of someone like Godzi's passing. I really liked his music and style. I hope the authorities can clarify what happened, because it's important to understand the circumstances.
