Discovered electronic music in the early 90's. A great life experience and an increasing loving feeling for it since.
In my opinion, trying to keep a good balance between old & new is the key. Be open for the unknown, it could be magic..
One day I heared somebody saying "Real gold can't be touched, or even seen, it has to be listened and felt with your heart". In my opinion, these little words are really what it is all about!
Hope the vinyl will survive this digital revolution. We all know, some evolution is necessary and it certainly opens lots of doors, but some tangible charmes are really irreplaceable. Our black gold is certainly one of them..
Enjoy life & music

Sensitive (2) - Driving - 18-Sep-08 05:16 AM
It is so easy and so difficult at the same time to review a breathtaking masterpiece like this one... What can we say about this song except that it is the best possible example of Italo perfection. Well, at least in my personal opinion. It is loaded with a lot of emotions going through some sadness, melancholy and fragility all in a very refined way with a dark, fast and boosted up galoping bassline. The instruments are just perfect and wellthought and the vocals, well, they maybe are even better..
Knowing this, it could be remarkable, but this song is bringing you exactly in the mood you want to be and so it doen't have to be a sad or melancholic mood. Me for example I just get very happy with it, shivers of joy! 'Driving' clearly wasn't made with the idea to bomb all the commercial selling charts, even if they surely wouldn't mind it as a plus, but their love for the music is just painted on that song. You're really feeling that devotion till the very last second.
This one is the very first production from the Zambelli brothers (David & Walter) and it certainly is, with no doubt, their best release ever made. One of the rarest and most sought after Italo releases on the short lived but extremely amazing Gong label as well as in the Italo style in general. Definetly my absolute favorite song of alltime! No words could ever describe this song as it should be...
F.A.T.* - Take Me Down - 18-Sep-08 02:29 AM
This record is an absolute Gemm. The stunning instrumental part as well as the dramatical and emotional vocals are overwhelming, boosting and very refined at the same time. Once again great Greek producers shows us how good they are in the Italo style and how they nicely put their own particular Rock/pop touch on it. When you listen to artists like Costas Charitodiplomenos, Nick Carr, etc. you surely will understand what I mean with this particularity. The B-side (Dub) is somekind of the instrumental version mixed with some sequenced vocal parts from the original one. I also want to comment on the soundquality, because thanks to EMI this one has a very nice and smooth mastering. The sound is not 'overpumping' the speakers, and is far from that somekind of 'dull' or 'empty' sound that characterise some other early Italo recs.
An essential one for every Italo collection. A truly mindblower! Definetly one of my alltime favorites
Dreist - BingBong - 05-Aug-08 04:36 AM
Matthias Schildger aka Matt Star, Nedzad Berovic, Frank Leicher (members of dreist) did a wonderfull job on this one. The 3 tracks have something special but the biggest one is centrainly the Bingbong track. It puts you directly in the right and relaxed mood. A bomb for the afterhours when the first sunbeams are reaching the decks. Again a huge one on the Main Records label. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as i do!
Terry Grant Feat. Jennifer Horne - I'll Kill You - 02-Jan-08 08:12 AM
Alongside the smooth melancholic vocals of Jennifer Horne, producer Terry Grant hits the bomb with this awesome track!
The 'Original mix' has a sublime memorable melody, building up beside the overwhelming vocals from Jennifer, a sweet and gorgeous sound of guitar that creates some kind of a Western-atmosphere. On the background a deep and peaceful bassline which got a powerful impact on the song and making the listener fall in love with this astonishing piece of music.
The 'John Debo’s remix' on the flip is a warm progressive one, using the fantastic vocals which gives one of the most important and relevant contribution to the track. Beside the sweet progressive vibe, the track comes with a fabulous breakdown continuing with some short break rhythmics put in a smooth and gentle jacket..
A lovely and emotional hypnotiser!
34th Avenue - Dance Now / Bubble Girl - 02-Jan-08 07:08 AM
Back on the block with the Avenue series, this tasty number features two slick make overs, and one in particular, "Bubbel girl" which is in fact a very nice house and fresh remix of Underworld's classic "Cups". A great groover put into a smooth atmosphere. A gorgeous one for the early afterhours.
The A-side is a mash-up between BBE's "Seven Days an one week" and CC Music Factory's "Everybody dance now". Not really my thing but should do his job on the dancefloors at peaktime.
Another B-side record, and a great one!
