…once had tons of aliases?
Cristiano Giusberti a.k.a. Technoboy was one of hardstyle’s pioneers and created the true Italian sound at the verge of the new millennium. But did you also know that he used several (or way too many?) artist names for his releases?

Cristiano Giusberti – born in Bologna, Italy in 1970 – is known as TECHNBOY since 1999. This name is undoubtedly one of the most famous and most consistently known artist name within the hardstyle scene. But when hardstyle was created back then there weren’t many artists or labels out there.

Make yourself bigger than you are?
Marc Acardipane once stated in an interview that having many aliases makes you and the record company seem bigger than they are. This could also apply to Technoyboy and his releases.

– 2 Best Enemies
– Antonio & Cristiano (Jumpstyle)
– Atlantic Wave (Hardtrance)
– Builder
– Citizen
– Controller
– Dark Oscillators
– DJ Stardust
– Droid
– Hardstyle Guru
– Hunter
– Speedwave
– The Hose
– The KGB’s
– and of course TNT togenter with Tuneboy a.k.a. Antonio Dona
