About Pirupa
Pirupa is the performing name of Piero Pirupa, an Italian DJ and producer known for fusing house and techno into a style distinct enough to have topped Beatport's global chart multiple times across his career. His single Rich Woman Bitch and other tracks released via Repopulate Mars, the label run by Christian Smith, have anchored his catalogue and cemented his ties to that imprint's tech house-focused roster.
In 2023, Pirupa teamed with rising producer Samuele Scelfo on the single Playin' Around, again released through Repopulate Mars, extending a run of collaborative singles that has included work with acts such as Havoc & Lawn under the SPRKS banner. His DJ sets draw on a broad mix of house and techno influences, translating the same genre-blending approach heard in his studio work into club and festival bookings across Europe.
Pirupa has described drawing inspiration from unlikely sources, including reworking a Kim Wilde track into a bootleg that later evolved into original material, reflecting a production process closely tied to the records he plays out. He continues to release regularly through Repopulate Mars and his own channels while maintaining an active touring schedule built around his tech house sound.
