Peacock Tail- Boards of Canada VS Mousey McGlynn (paradise mix)

In the vibrant summer of 1984, the sun beat down on the picturesque streets of Bologna, Italy. It was a day like any other, except that the world of music was about to witness a serendipitous encounter that would change the course of Italo dance history.

Claudio Cecchetto, a renowned Italo dance producer and DJ legend, was on his way to Rome for a crucial meeting with a record label executive. As he drove through the charming streets of Bologna, the city's energy seemed to beckon him, urging him to pause for just a moment.

He decided to stop by a local café, drawn by the aroma of freshly brewed espresso and the sound of Italian chatter. As he sipped his coffee, a man with a vibrant aura caught his attention. This man was Oderso Rubino, a well-known figure in the Italian music scene and the founder of Italian Records.

Claudio couldn't help but introduce himself to Oderso, who, in turn, recognized the famous DJ instantly. Their conversation flowed effortlessly, fueled by their shared passion for music. Oderso mentioned that he was on his way to a club where a talented band called Gaz Nevada was performing that night.

Excitement filled Claudio's veins as he realized the potential of this opportunity. He shared his vision for a new Italo dance track he had been working on called 'People From Ibiza' something fresh and exciting that could light up the dance floors. Oderso's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and he asked Claudio if he had a demo of the song.

Claudio nodded and reached into his bag to retrieve a cassette tape. This was the original demo, a treasure he had been carrying with him, unsure of where destiny would lead him. With a smile, he handed it to Oderso.

The two music enthusiasts made their way to the club where Gaz Nevada was performing live. The atmosphere was electric, and the dance floor pulsed with energy. Gaz Nevada took the stage, and as the crowd swayed to their rhythm, Oderso approached the band with Claudio's demo.

Gaz Nevada agreed to give it a listen during their break. As the demo played, the pulsating beats and infectious melodies filled the room. It was as if Claudio's music had captured the very essence of that moment, blending seamlessly with the euphoria of the crowd.

As the sun began to rise over Bologna, the city still reverberated with the echoes of the electrifying performance of Claudio Cecchetto's demo by Gaz Nevada the previous night. The morning after this historic encounter promised even more excitement and inspiration.

Claudio Cecchetto had spent the night supervising the recording of the demo, alongside the talented vocalist Sandy Marton. The chemistry between the two artists was undeniable, and their shared passion for music fueled their creative energies.

In the studio, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Claudio, Sandy, and the members of Gaz Nevada were ready to breathe life into the masterpiece they had discovered. The song was born right there, in the heart of Italy, a tribute to the vibrant spirit of the island of Ibiza.

As the recording session progressed, the song "People From Ibiza" began to take shape. Claudio's deft production skills brought out the best in Sandy's powerful vocals, while Gaz Nevada added their signature touch with electrifying instrumentals.

This is the original tape of the forgotten initial version, recovered and restored by Italo Disco's collector and aficionado  Craxi Disco.

Sandy Marton - People From Ibiza (Craxi Disco Breaks Extended Edit)

Parisian electronic artist CHLOÉ and her Lumière Noire Records imprint explore new pastures in 2024, leaning into more club-focused sounds with an immersive new compilation series titled ‘Flash.’ Lumière Noire’s new VA collection welcomes a slew of international talent, providing a wave of experimental flavours with definitive underground gradients. ‘Flash Vol. 1’ plays host to four unique cuts, delivered by Danse Alice, Louen Poppé, Leonor & Fausto and Kike Am Radar.

Enigmatic duo Danse Alice’s ‘Dance On Your Grave’ (feat. Lucy) brings undeniably weird and wonderful energy from the outset, combining detuned analogue musicality, eerie vocals and undulating rhythmic cadence throughout. Louen Poppé’s ‘Mondor’ will be released as a single on the 15th March, to tease the VA. The track fuses retro synth stabs, rumbling modular textures, probing arps and haunting harmonies alongside a head-bobbing breakbeat foundation. 

The combination of Leonor & Fausto follows with ‘Monastic’ which blends robotic nuances, pumping drum grooves, cleverly modulated acid synth lines and glitchy sonics to carve out a sci-fi-inspired basement jam before Kike Am Radar rounds off the release with ‘It’s All Lies’, bringing subtly celestial-laced chugging, weighty house vibes full of nostalgic synthesiser layers and copious, reverberated soundscapes.

Check-in

Zombie is based on the theme of 'The Walking Dead', which I did once with Rio as 'Bodanegra'.
The song is still an important big part of me, so I thought it would be cool to make a remake for A TRANSITION.

Paradox Obscur - Perpetual

Joel & Ivar - Svalöv 8 Juli

The village was deafly silent, you could barely hear a pin drop or a murmured whisper echo through the streets. Nothing happened in this god forsaken place anymore. Many, if not all, had left for other climes or intrepid adventures. They'd abandoned everything, in search of something better. Those that remained were intent on making their move soon. They knew the next chapter would be greater than this one. But then again, the grass is always greener... 

Paris-based Motordiscs, conceived by the team behind late nightclub Garage, set a pretty high bar when they launched their label earlier this year with a four tracker VA featuring an all star cast of artists: Khidja, Zombies In Miami, Curses and Kasper Bjørke. Their second helping is no different. This time they've locked in contributions from Sascha Funke, Modular Project, Massimiliano Pagliara and our pick from Concret & Cantor, a heads down cut driven by synths, atmospheric guitar licks and squiggly acid lines.
