Pablo Bozzi — Boiler Room × Khidi, Tbilissi, 2022

Filmed live DJ set by Pablo Bozzi for Boiler Room at the Khidi club in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 2022. A Khidi resident and founder of the Second Sight label, the French DJ and producer deploys his “Italo Body Music” aesthetic, a singular hybrid blending EBM, Italo disco, synthwave, new beat and techno. Before the Georgian crowd, this live set unfurls metronomic basslines, cold synthetic pads and martial rhythms inherited from 1980s body music, reworked for the contemporary dancefloor. Captured in one of Eastern Europe’s most renowned clubs, this performance has become a reference point in the Boiler Room series, racking up views in the millions. For the electronic-music enthusiast, this filmed live concert documents the revival of EBM and Italo in the clubs of the 2020s, and the role of a conduit like Pablo Bozzi in that reawakening. A dense, dark and hypnotic set, cut for the night, it has circulated widely online as a touchstone of the EBM revival.
