James Rod brings us another set of re-edits that draw on the late 70s/early 80s glory days of Italo and cosmic disco. The precise source material will have to remain unidentified this time out, but any crossword buffs reading this will have no doubt already spotted which legendary Italian producer's name 'More Dore' is very nearly an anagram of, so that's a start! Elsewhere, 'Reinhood Times' is a very Euro in feel and will appeal to fans of artists like Goldfrapp, Moloko or Christine & The Queens with its angular synth-pop and ice queen vocal, while the pulsing, throbbing and surprisingly pacey 'L'Amoure' plays us out in classic Italo style.

Castelli is the musical moniker of Milan’s Stefano Castelli. His debut album, Anni Venti, combines all the synth history of his native Italy with soulful song writing. Produced by Luca Urbani, the record draws on inspiration from the analogue sounds of pop and wave whilst commenting on our contemporary condition. Rumbling basslines and clean beats are elevated by the glorious chorus lines of the opening “Festa.” The tracks on offer are short and bursting with energy, like the lilting “Cosmonauti” or the addictively upbeat duet of “Wave Goodbye.” A retrospective future dawns in the vocoder and rhythmic pulses of “Cani,” electro echoes of a man machine world. A range of styles are drawn on to create Castelli’s signature sound, his band background merging with synth warmth in “Paradiso Tropicale.” Italy’s famed soundtracks come to the fore in the measured drama of “Quando Guardi I Film.” What permeates the collection is a tender hopefulness, one that culminates in the enthusiasm and electronic exploration of “Nave.” A ten track journey from the heart of Milan.

PREMIERE : Moiety - Camminatori Notturni

Master Ilya Santana (SXDNS072) has been fighting the good fight for quite some time now – and he has been winning! One of the key elements of the recognition he has achieved so far is undoubtedly the high quality of his productions. Considered one of the best of his generation amid the artists of the modern Disco scene, his many an influence enables him to deliver a prolific repertoire of retro-infused gems – originals & remixes – released on vital labels such as Mélopée, Rare Wiri, Boite Music, Nang, Permanent Vacation, Spa In Disco, and Astrolead Recordings – the latter, his very own imprint, by the way.

His forthcoming endeavour, coming soon on, yes, Astrolead, is an unbeatable single featuring a must-have remix made with love by another master: Martin Brodin, the mighty honcho of the super cool and prolific MB Disco.

For his cosmic-as-hell take on Ilya’s “Sirius”, released in October 2021, Martin decided to tune down a little bit the rock attitude of the original in order to deliver a trippier and groovier interpretation. Synth leads and layers take over the stage instead and set the mood for a more zero-gravity-oriented experience. It’s pure bliss!

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Juno Download page of the label: https://www.junodownload.com/labels/Astrolead+Recordings/
