Profile: Who the fuck is Rhodes54?

I am a music lover since the day I was born. I got my first recordplayer at the age of 5 and bought my first houserecord in 1986, being 10 at that time. Since then collecting music became a passion and a daily activity.

Fighter MC - World Mother Fucker - 13-Aug-09 02:43 AM
The rapper of this song must be lucky that he isn't mentioned at the credits of the record because he would have received a nomination for 'Rapper with the worst english accent ever'. He probably would have won. Pulling myself over that it is actually not a bad track at all. World Mother Fucker is very well produced, as usual with the Media records producers team, and has all the typical Italian ingrediënts. If you bump ever onto to record for a few pennies you should buy it right away. You'll either like the track or have at least fifteen minutes of fun about that rapper.

Club Culture (2) - My Face - 11-Aug-09 11:59 AM
No accappella was left alone by the Italians, especially not in the early 90's. Gino "Woody" Bianchi samples Loose Joints' "Is It All Over My Face" in this track resulting in a sexy, smooth & deep house track. The B1 mix is the instrumental and has a more upfront baseline.
Although we can label this track as an average Italian deephouse track I still play it often and is worth buying. Thumbs up for Gino "Woody" Bianchi

M.C.J. - Sexitivity - 31-Jul-09 01:59 PM
People who like Sexitivity and own the two original releases on X-Energy already should definitely look out for this one as this is the only release with Micro Mania's Remix. The beats 'kicks like a mule'topped with an an awesome pianoriff and Sima's vocals.
Remixed by the dutch but 100% Italian sounding all the way. I have no clue why this remix was never released in Italy because this could have been a club monster over there. An absolute 5 star remix!

Pagany - Dance Authority E.P Vol. 1 - 29-Jul-09 02:26 PM
Finally something groovy between the 'Italian Synth Dance' war that was going on back then. When I was about to give up hope for The Inside Label after the amazing tunes they had been releasing until 1993, they came up with a nice groovy house ep.
Expect something happy, feel good tracks with nice disco samples and a 'italian' piano here and there, quite how the groovy/disco was gonna sound a few years later.
My favourites? 1.The Melody 2.Party Time 3.I'm coming

Sabrina - Cover Model - 27-Feb-09 02:41 AM
It was on my 'unknown wantlist' for at least ten years before I finally found out that the record I had been hunting so desperately for was from no one less than Sabrina! Miss 'Oops my bikini' Salerno.... The wet dream of all teenage Boys Boys Boys in the 80's.
Damn, how could I explane this to my music loving partners in crime? One of my biggest want was a track from Sabrina!

For anyone who doesn't know this track: It is one of those very nice Italian summer tunes with all the usual Italian ingrediënts including pianoriff and (uncleared) samples.
The track is sung by Sabrina herself (so don't expect too much here) except for the well known 'You got me running' sample which was lend from Sima.
Cover model has the typical Rossini/DJ Mori sound which I love so much. The 'Bass Mixx' on the b-side can easily fit in any Italian house set and has less vocals.

Hearing it on the French radio every day when on holiday back then in 1991 it was the ultimate summer tune. A 5 star rating was far from enough. Giving it another serious spin in 2009 it should actually deserve a 3/4 stars rating but as it takes me back to good old times everytime I hear it I keep my rating on 5.
