Flemming Dalum - Italo Classix - 10-Mar-09 01:09 PM
Another truly stunning mix by Flemming Dalum - the man who goes the extra mile in all his mixes to bring new life to tracks with very smart editing and a stunning ear for detail.

This mix really does include all the "classics" - but at the same time you will feel like you are listening to a completely fresh italo sound as each track blends seamlessly together, sometimes with only minor loops from each track (such as Gazebos "Wrap the Rock" and Diviacchis "waiting for heaven". In all there are probably more than 75 tracks crammed into the mix, with the best bits from each included, without ruining the original.

Hugely recommended for fans of all electronic music (not just italo) who want to understand more about the often "forgotten" era in the history of dance music.

Flemming Dalum - Dance Of The Obscure Robot - 20-Aug-07 08:50 PM
Yet another truly breathtaking italo mix from the Danish man who used to used to traval all the way to Italy to buy hot discs direct from the italo disctributors - and boy were those trips worth it!! The mix starts out with loose funky slo-beat italo, then launches into a full mix of rare and very original sounding tracks, especially the likes of Blackway, a totally new discovery for me. Its great to hear a DJ put out a mix like this which is truly from the heart, he has decided to take a gamble and not play just the "safe" italo tracks, but some real innovative tracks, giving the listener a fantastic selection of different italo sounds. One of my favourite mixes of all time.

My mum was a synth pop and disco addict, so i was brought up with this track. I still remember listening to it on trips out in our Ford Granada when it was newly released in 1983! And up until about a week ago i was certain this was sung by a female (and im talking about the Laura Brannigan version either). His voice has a very distinctive soft note. A total surprise when i saw the music video! Such a lovely track, full of memories and melodies. Good danceable italo club music.

Sylvester - Stars - 10-Apr-07 02:31 AM
This LP is another one of those amazing electronic disco discoveries for me. "I Need Somebody to Love Tonight" is the most sublime epic hypnotic electronica masterpiece. Most associate Sylvester with hi-NRG, and with Patrick Cowley in production maybe something upbeat, but this laid back track contains a wonderful looped dreamy acid line with haunting strings, and Sylvesters vocal is silky smooth. This was apparantly a bit of an anthem at the Paradise Garage, i can just imagine the dancefloor going into a tranced out frenzy to this. Truly glorious.

Memory Control One - Basic - 07-Apr-07 08:19 AM
A crazy instrumental only track, this is nice and slow at around 112bpm. Classic Italo disco tune from 1983 in the tradition of the mythologic italian club Typhoon. Invented and arranged by the italian dj Beppe Loda in collaboration with the great musician Francesco Boscolo (Egotria). Combining underground electro sounds of the 80s with that Italo disco touch - its a cheesy but fun synth instrumental that is a bit of a hidden gem. A great track for opening a set with.
