IRIDE

IRIDE is Costanza Facchini, a Rome-based DJ and producer. She developed her musical ear within the walls of Goa Club, where she later played on the club’s final night. Listening to music and connecting with that scene marked the beginning of a journey that continues today with GoaUltrabeat, where she has been a resident since 2021. Since 2024, she has also overseen its artistic direction, identity and communications. Her sound moves between techno, electro, progressive house, trance and progressive, with room for downtempo listening sessions. Her selections combine records from the ’90s with current productions, bringing together driving rhythms and hypnotic melodies. Tight grooves alternate with more spacious passages, maintaining a steady energy throughout her sets.

Her relationship with music began at six with the drums, followed by studies in piano, music theory and production. This background informs her attention to rhythm and melody, while her experience behind the decks has developed her versatility. Her eclectic approach allows her to adapt her selections to different settings while maintaining her own musical identity. IRIDE has established herself in the Italian underground scene, playing at Dissonanze, Decibel x HÖR, Titilla at Cocoricò, San Lorenzo in da Wood, Tempio Festival and Mood Festival. She has also played at events in collaboration with Sound Metaphors, Breakfast Club and Picnic Records.Alongside DJing, she works in the studio on original productions and sound design. Her work also extends to composing for moving images, exploring the relationship between music and visual storytelling. She has composed soundtracks for the Superga xAngostura and Cupra x Angostura campaigns.
