Très heureux de commencer l'année avec une invitée de marque pour ce numéro 112 avec Diana Chan McNally alias @automatic-amore !

Car c'est peut-être LA dj italo nord américaine (ne serait-ce que sur Toronto), d'où elle rayonne mondialement, armée de ses disques introuvables. Et c'est notamment sur sa chaine YouTube où elle dévoile régulièrement des "vinyls-rip" de ses trouvailles italo, nubeat et synthpop dont seule elle, en a le secret.

Final episode of 2019 is here with none other than Toronto's 'Italo Queen' - Automaticamore @automatic-amore

AVR 07 w/ Automaticamore [Toronto]

Hailing from Toronto Canada, Diana McNally aka Automaticamore aka the queen of Italo, comes in strong with an hour of carefully selected killer cuts - the energy bar that we all needed. With hundreds of live-streams flooding our news-feeds and new mix-series starting to come up during these challenging times, we leave it to Diana to finish off our weekly Quarantine series and return to fortnightly publications from now on.

In a way, her persona could not be more fitting, as she is not only an avid vinyl collector, but also works as a social worker at the Toronto Drop-in Network for homeless people. Diana is currently taking vacation days in order to work 12-14 hours on the frontlines of the pandemic, supporting and helping the most vulnerable ones - most of the times without proper protection, literally keeping people from dying. (Read more about it here: https://www.blogto.com/city/2020/04/toronto-homeless-covid-19/) 

A reminder, perhaps, that even after 4 weeks of quarantine, the pandemic is still very much real. There are still people dying and in order to support frontline-workers like Diana or the fantastic National-Healthcare staff all over Europe, we must drink and dance to Italo-Disco *inside* our homes.

Toronto-based DJ and avid record collector @automatic-amore weaves together a vinyl-only mix of Italo Disco sounds from across the board.

Hi and Welcome to ITALO MODERNI Mixes

We are so proud to have in interview one of our favorites italo djs, she is Diana Chan Mcnally @automatic-amore based in Toronto, Canada. It's time to meet her a little more with a good interview! Check it out!

Automaticamore in one word?

Fastidious.

What does ‘ITALO DISCO’’ mean for you?

Fun, funny, and fantastic.

Why did you choose ‘Automaticamore’’ as a name?

I didn’t! It was the name of my radio show, and then people started calling me DJ Automaticamore. Previously I was just DJ Diana McNally (I know – very dull).

Past or Future?

Both! A better future can only be informed by attention to the past, including all of its successes and faults.

What do you do apart from digging and being a DJ?

I am a community worker. I coordinate resources and opportunities for 51 drop-in centres in Toronto serving people experiencing homelessness. I also work frontline in one of these centres, and am an activist around issues of homelessness.

What are some of the current world issues you think about the most?

Envisioning a post-Capitalist world that is inclusive and humane. That society only exists through cooperation and an understanding of the collective good; yet, we are more divided than ever.

With all your passion and your fantastic YouTube channel, how did your first contact with Italo occur?

Through friends’ local DJ nights! I recall that they played Moroder, Alexander Robotnick, and Black Devil, as well as ‘newer’, Italo-influenced acts like Glass Candy.

Favorite channel from YouTube for digging Italo?

Moscu ION, just because it kind of isn’t curated, so you can dig around through an unsorted mass of Italo.

Favorite pizza?

Margherita, hands-down. But … Hawaiian pizza was invented in Canada, and I kind of like it! With added jalapenos.

Favorite vinyl?

Too hard to choose! Right now, Diviacchi - Waiting For Heaven. I come back to this record a lot, and it’s emotional and well-produced.

Most wanted record?

Right now? Tres – Smile on My Face. And … I never buy it, because it’s expensive and ridiculous, but Avenida 29 – It’s Pizza Time.

What is your process when creating a mix?

I usually will start with a mood or feeling, and I’ll fit together songs that somehow capture that feeling and play around with different records, in different orders, until it makes sense to me. Then I record myself playing live.

What was the first record you bought?

Madonna – The Immaculate Collection on cassette, no less.

Who was the first musician that influenced you? What other genres have influenced you?

Madonna, most definitely. I’m also influenced by New Wave, electro, post-punk, synthpop, freestyle, and Canadian disco.

Do you think the Italo world is dead?

Not while I’m alive, it isn’t!

What do you think about the new Italo producers?

I don’t know much about many of them, to be honest. It’s not because I actively dislike new music, I’m just busy digging through the 1980s!

Best Italo record labels from 80’s?

It’s not universally great, but I like FDT, an Il Discotto sublabel.  I also like Out Records, which is a sublabel of Discomagic, and very collectible.

New favorite track?

… as in new music? Again, I don’t know much, but I really like Mozaika – Drive. 

Any news regarding tours?

Not until there is some sense of what the impacts of COVID are! That said, I’m hoping to come to Europe next spring.

What did you want to express in this mix?

I just spent a week on the beach (albeit a Canadian beach), and so I wanted to capture that feeling of summer and sun. Also the beach I was on was clothing optional, and covered in booze, so there were many ridiculous and funny things happening. This mix hopefully reflects that humour.

Say something in italian!

“L'amore vince sempre.” It does.

IM #47 MIX : AUTOMATICAMORE + Interview

AUTOMATICAMORE [CA, TORONTO]
@automatic-amore

CTW124 • Automaticamore

Next up in our mix series is Automaticamore (Diana Chan McNally): Toronto’s authority on esoteric Italo/Disco/New Beat/Synth-Pop, & purveyor of weirdy dance-floor capers at her LJ residency ‘Body Heat’. Diana holds down several nights here and afar and can be found carting her eye-watering rarities from spot to spot to share live with lucky punters in Canada, Euro-land and South of the border. 

Here she transports us to a misty Montreal disco playing Canadian tracks/rare Canuck pressings exclusif. It’s a hook-down/off the ground twinkling piano lift-off, into cronky Quebecois sleaze, riding the slap bass into that gitchy-ya-ya goblin voiceover. The cowbell/laser/buzzsaw party invites sensuous saxaphone narration to the function and caps it off with a vocoded appeal to sway. 

Descend the narrow stairway and bathe in the fog machine fumes…

-xx We miss you all big-time and can’t wait for the next Body Heat. Love to one and all from everyone @ the Small Jerry.
