Keeping the DJ duo’s Magnolia Club set alive, Kids In Italia, in conjunction with 55DSL, have exclusively released a Giulia From Above and Elisa Bee DJ Mix for their Facebook fans to check out.

The series follows the photographer from the busy streets of New York, to a tiny seaside town in San Frareau, Sicily, where Lele searches for inspiration for his forthcoming book, and decides to photograph a traditional Sicilian festival.
Kids In Italia will be an ongoing series to highlight the creative endeavours by rising artists in Italy, and to showcase globally why these artists serve as inspiration to the world!
