Background

The project started in 2003 after the meeting of young producers Luca Emanuele Ventrafridda (aka Luca Ventafunk) and Massimiliano Garino (aka Max Aqualuce), in Bliss Corporation, [1] an Italian label famous for the project of Eiffel 65 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".

With the help of their American manager Jason Nevins, DJs from Mars produced official remixes for multiple artists, including Sean Paul, Pitbull, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Dirty Vegas, Fragma, Ciara, Coolio, and Ennio Morricone.

In 2013, DJs from Mars were ranked 95 in DJ Mag 's list of Top 100 DJs. [2]

In 2015, they are featured as main characters in the Gillette advertising campaign “Shave Forth”.[ citation needed ]
