Glauco Di Mambro has carved a space between house, indie dance, and acid-driven club music, building a profile that spans Rome, Ibiza, Tulum, and beyond. A classically trained pianist turned DJ, producer, and curator, he recently composed the full soundtrack for Netflix’s ‘Terrazza Sentimento’, Italy’s most viewed series of 2025, marking a new milestone in his career.

Alongside touring Latin America and Europe, Di Mambro continues to develop his State of Flux platform—an event series and radio show rooted at The Sanctuary in Rome and Milan—while preparing to launch it as a record label. In this conversation, Glauco Di Mambro opens up about scoring for Netflix, resisting genre limitations, Ibiza’s evolving energy, and the future of electronic music.
EG: Hi, Glauco! Welcome to EG. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. How have you been doing?
Glauco Di Mambro: Ciao! The pleasure is all mine, everything is very good. I just came back from an intense month touring Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina. I love that side of the world so much, it’s definitely my favorite when it comes to touring: the energy of the people, the power of nature, and the music that is present everywhere, at any time. I’m coming back to Rome very inspired and I can’t wait to dive into the studio and give concrete form to all the ideas I had on the road.
EG: First of all, congratulations on what has been a massive 2025 for you. Were you anticipating it to be such an intense year? How do you feel about all that transpired?
Glauco Di Mambro: Thank you so much, it was such a great year: very intense and rewarding. Honestly no! I didn’t have any idea that everything was about to align at the same time. All the projects I was working on were ongoing, of course, but they weren’t supposed to bloom at the same moment. Everything happened so naturally, and I just went with the flow. Now that I’m able to process it, I feel that the past year has been a turning point and that I’m now entering a new phase of my career, full of new challenges. I’m so ready for the next steps.
EG: You also had the opportunity to participate with your music in one of Netflix’s most gripping productions, ‘Terrazza Sentimento’. How did this opportunity come about, and what was the experience like? Had you heard about it before the series?
Glauco Di Mambro: That was really unexpected. Of course I knew about Terrazza Sentimento, it was huge crime news in Italy during the COVID period. It was also strongly connected to the nightlife scene in Milan, so the faces and places sounded very familiar to all of us who are part of the industry in Italy.
But from there to composing the full soundtrack of a Netflix series is a long way. In this case, my passion for and experience with cinema definitely played a role. Before becoming a professional DJ, I worked for years as a TV author. The team behind the project is made up of friends and people I’ve known for a long time. Since the case was deeply connected to nightlife culture, they needed someone immersed in that world to compose the right soundtrack and capture the right mood. When I received the call, I couldn’t believe it.
I drafted some ideas, the showrunner and director liked them, and here we are. It was a great opportunity to give my personal sonic vision of that darker side which, undeniably, is part of our world. The experience was incredible, both exciting and challenging. I discovered how different it is to work on a soundtrack compared to a dancefloor-oriented approach. It’s like heart versus brain, and I had to learn how to control both.
EG: Are there any plans to release the soundtrack?
Glauco Di Mambro: Yes, I would really like to release a small album with the full soundtrack, even on digital platforms. It would be the first time for me releasing something that is not club-oriented, and I’m already in conversation with Netflix about it.
I would love to show this side of my musical vision and reinforce the message that electronic music doesn’t have to be relegated only to dancefloors. It can find its space in films and series soundtracks, museums, commercials, even schools for educational and research purposes. Electronic music is such a complex and diverse world that deserves to be placed properly within the global musical landscape.
“Your music has to be an extension of your personality”
EG: Speaking about releases, what can you tell us about your next steps following ‘Ipotetica Salsa’?
Glauco Di Mambro: ‘Ipotetica Salsa’ was a clear statement for me that I don’t want my music to be tagged within any specific genre. I want to make that statement even stronger by launching my new label in the coming months, built around the same concept as my event series and radio show, State of Flux.
The State of Flux label will be a safe space for artists who don’t want to create music just to fit into a specific chart or style. We are here to anticipate, not to follow. At the moment, I feel more drawn to minimal and acid vibes, exploring that uptempo range around 130 BPM. You can expect something in that direction.
EG: Can you explain the concept behind State of Flux and how it came to be?
Glauco Di Mambro: State of Flux is the pillar of my presence in Rome. It’s a celebration of freedom, rebellion, and connection through music. After almost 10 years as a resident at The Sanctuary, I felt the urge to bring music curation back to the center of what a club night should be.
I believe the mission of clubbing is to help people discover new music and artists, not just to follow trends. Each event is connected to a radio show where I interview my guest in a deeper way. I ask them to choose three tracks that put them in a “State of Flux,” and we build a real conversation around those selections. It becomes a creative collaboration featuring exclusive tracks, interviews, and guest sets.
State of Flux is an event, a radio show, and a community. The next step will be the launch of the label, which will extend this vision into recorded music.
EG: Do you plan to return to Ibiza next season?
Glauco Di Mambro: I’m very happy about the shows at the Secret Apartment at UNVRS last summer. The no-phone policy really helped keep the focus on the music. We’re currently in conversation to confirm UNVRS for the 2026 season. Ibiza is my second home; it’s where my journey in electronic music began. I’ll also be back at Akasha, which is one of my favorite venues on the island.
EG: What are the biggest challenges artists face right now?
Glauco Di Mambro: We’ve reached a point of saturation: too many DJs, too many tracks released every day, too many promoters. I believe power will slowly return to loyal communities and promoters willing to take risks.
The first challenge is musical: staying confident and not following trends just to chase success. Your music has to be an extension of your personality. The second challenge is business-oriented. Today, being an artist also means networking, managing your online presence, and developing a long-term strategy. Building a small team around you can make a real difference.

EG: What’s next for you?
Glauco Di Mambro: My plan for 2026 is to dedicate more time to the studio and finally launch the State of Flux label. I’ll continue touring, but I want to be more selective and feel more rooted in what I do. Direction is more important than speed.
My fans can catch me at my monthly State of Flux residency at The Sanctuary in Rome, as well as on tours in the USA and Mexico, plus several summer shows across Italy and Ibiza. More than anything, I hope to build stronger connections with the community that follows me. Music is a lifetime mission, and I’m fully committed to it.
