MEDUZA's rise to prominence is not simply a story of musical prowess, but a testament to their deeply held belief in the transformative power of sound.
The trio, hailing from Italy, have always been driven by a shared vision of redefining the contours of electronics and, more specifically, its method of consumption.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2020 with hits like “Piece of Your Heart” and “Lose Control,” MEDUZA has made its mark on the clubbing circuit, even becoming a staple in Ibiza with its curated party offering, “Our House.” Now, the trio is turning their attention to Las Vegas, where they are scheduled to join the rotation at the illustrious Zouk Nightclub and Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World Las Vegas.
“It was a pretty easy decision,” MEDUZA said of the opportunity in an interview with EDM.com. “They believed in the project and they believed in the fact that we can bring house music to Las Vegas.”

As a trio, MEDUZA describe their dynamics in synergistic terms. “We're lucky to be three and not one, because we can work on different aspects of the music, the DJ sets, 100% of the project,” they said, explaining that their dynamic alleviates the double stress of touring and creative production. among all members.
MEDUZA's sound is characterized by depth and complexity, weaving layers of soulful melody and rhythm to create tracks that are as introspective as they are thought-provoking. This signature style is a product of his diverse influences, from classic '90s house beats to the cutting-edge sounds of contemporary dance music.
It's an experience worth putting down your phone for, something audiences have continued to do thanks to the popularity of MEDUZA's “Our House” performances. A recent series of limited dates saw a unique no-phone policy implemented in an effort to recapture the spirit of dancing and losing track of time under the neon lights.

The idea was born last summer, MEDUZA tells us. “Especially in Ibiza during the summer we go to other DJ's shows and see the atmosphere of the room, what kind of music they play. We noticed that during some image shows, there were people in the crowd filming the whole show,” they said.
“After the launch they just turned off the phone and it didn't vibrate, they didn't feel anything. There was no connection between the crowd and the DJ and that was really sad because it's not a club,” they continue. “We can understand that when you go to a concert or a big festival, but when you go to a club, the first rule – and I will say rule – is to vibrate and be connected to the music. That is the power of the DJ.”
After initial testing of the group's no-phone policy, public reception was especially well received, they said. While their Las Vegas residency won't be adopting a no-phone policy, MEDUZA is excited to bring the same high-energy live experience to crowds this March.
The group is eager to seize the opportunity to bring traditional house music to Las Vegas, but in a way that also recognizes its increasingly commercial appeal on a larger scale. A crucial element to its expanding global presence is its upcoming collaboration with UEFA for the 2024 European Championship, a project that will see the emergence of a collaboration between MEDUZA, OneRepublic and Kim Petras.
As MEDUZA continues to navigate the next chapter of their artistic journey, they are seemingly entering more informed than ever about their craft and direction.
“If you know the songs in Vegas, that's a good starting point,” MEDUZA said. “Thank God we have songs that people can sing at this show, but at the same time we can play powerful songs coming from the club side of MEDUZA and I think it will be a great experience.”
MEDUZA's Resorts World Las Vegas residency begins with an appearance at Ayu Dayclub on March 16.
