The audio recording from our live stream recorded (socially distanced and following all Covid-19 guidelines!) in Wigwam basement. It felt incredible being back in the room even without a sea of smiling faces in front of us but we will all be together soon!

May 15th marks the birthdate of one of our favorite DJs - Roy Thode. Technically masterful, pioneering some of the most progressive methods in DJing whilst manifesting an exceptionally educated and tasteful selection of music, Roy Thode is truly an artist when it comes to the craft of DJing. Personally, as DJs, we've learned so much from listening to Roy Thode, 40 years later he continues to inspire us in such relevant ways. 

Roy Thode, a native New Yorker from Long Island, moved to the city in his early 20’s after establishing his DJ skills as a young man growing up in Wantaugh. Roy was perhaps best known for being the DJ for “Saturday Nights at the Ice Palace” in Cherry Grove. His NYC DJ career was highlighted with residencies at both Studio 54 and The Saint however it was the Long Island Gay club scene that fueled and created the foundation for Roy’s illustrious career as perhaps one of the best technical DJ’s of his era.

This mix was recorded at the Ice Palace - in many ways, his home. Being able to share this previously unreleased mix is a tremendous honor for us and we hope you can appreciate this as much as we do. A huge thank you to Marsha Stern for working with us and making this little project a reality.

ROY THODE’s Birthday Celebration at the Ice Palace Fire Island - Recorded May 16, 1981

Live recording from our set last weekend in Urban Spree in Berlin. So nice to play in front of a crowd and it was a pleasure to see so many old friends and making new ones on the dance floor! Even big man @fhionn swung by and played a few. Unfortunately I (Aidan) got a new recording device and the cables I got for it were a bit MEH but we've managed to salvage most of the set for listening back too! Big love to the Milk Me crew for their hospitality also <3

A.P. Mono (Also Playable Mono) is a DJ and producer from Warsaw. He started DJing in 1999 but his music journey started back in the 80s, when he was growing up. Resident DJ for many clubs along Poland. He made his first steps in producing music in 1998. Along the years he used various aliases due to all the music genres he was involved in, from deep house and house to nu disco, funky and soul, from synth pop and nu romantic to italo disco. In 2015 after some break he decided to become more active on italo disco field again. He relaunched his 1980s related label under a new name and started to produce remixes and his own tracks inspired by 80s electronic music. He has remixed and produced for such artists and projects as Italoconnection, Savage, Peter Wilson, Eddy Huntington, Mike Mareen, Fancy, Fred Ventura, Knight$, Kristian Conde, Some Bizarre, Magic System, Taigher, Claudia T, Baby's Gang, Jackie Touche and produced for such labels as Flashback Records, Blanco Y Negro, Vintage Pleasure Boutique and ZYX Music.

About the Edit :

At a certain moment it really affected my emotions and I got inspired by the German, French and Dutch italo wave scene. The selection of many well-known DJs who combined fresh, progressive, minimal and lo-fi sounds in their sets with classic productions from the first half of the 80s, thus creating a unique mixture of beats, made me look at the italo scene in a different, unconventional way. Combining unobvious things settled in my head for good and I came to the conclusion that you can't close yourself only to the decade of the 80s. Italo has left its mark on dance electronic music and its echoes can be heard in club music of every next decade. Without a doubt. And so an idea appeared in my head to combine the sound of italo and hi nrg with house classics. "Music Sounds Better With You" in the italo reinterpretation has been pulsating in my head for two or three years already, but it was the enthusiasm of boys from Minitel that pushed me to make this happen. And so the italo remix of one of the most important pieces in the history of "french house" was created, which coincided with the celebration of the 25th anniversary of its release.
