Italian electro/techno composer Gianluigi Di Costanzo is the name behind the Milan-based Bochum Welt, whose smattering of atmospheric acid and electro releases have been quick in establishing him as an artist at the edge of post-rave experimental electronica. Inspired by the '70s Dusseldorf scene through such figures as Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider (both of Kraftwerk), as well as artists such as Brian Eno and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Di Costanzo released his first work as Bochum Welt on the Italian Trance Communications label starting in 1994, at the age of 21.
