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, 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 was only after a few years and several tracks together that they initiated the common project "Djs From Mars" and then later in 2015 they added on James Blake (aka J-Blaze) as a consultant.
Music
The duo produced a few songs receiving airplay in Italy such as "Non Dormo Più", "Dirty Mary" and "Don't Give Up". Being among their lesser known releases, it was not until they started releasing bootlegs and mash-ups that the audience's attention turned to them. Their specialty is the ability to mix previously existing successful songs and turning them into electronic music tracks. Among 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.
Recognition
Lady Gaga featured their bootlegs of "Metallica vs Lady Gaga" on Twitter. Their productions are frequently featured on YouTube, as well. The duo received over 10 million views on their channel, and reached the 100.000 fans mark on their Facebook fan page in May 2012.
DJ career
Famous for wearing cardboard boxes on their heads while playing live, they performed at a number of night clubs and events over the world including Europe, USA, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Canada, and China. They opened for Tiesto in Atlantic City in March 2011.
