Alex (Thevery) and Georg (Wedel) met many years ago while DJing at a mutual friends party and discovered there was another essential thing they had in common: their love for Italo-Disco. 
For Mothball FM they have created a classic all-sexy Italo mix that includes a few well known tracks but also some lost gems.

MOTHBALL FM with Thevery & Wedel (May 2022)

Ciao a tutti,

and welcome to my mix for June and my sweet spot: Italo Disco.

As some might know already I'm deep into Italo Disco for quite some time. It all started by cruising in Marcus tuned Opel Corsa from his brother blasting 'Boys' from Sabrina, me cringing about it in the first place but slowly and surely falling into love with Italo.

For this mix I tried to pick some of my favourite Italo Disco tracks (at least the ones I own 😅) that would fit into what I call 'Italo Disco Classics'. So unfortunately no Sabrina but watch out, there's more to come. 

Now, freely after Mario Mangiarano: 'Listen me tonight!'


Shout-outs to:

Marcus (@narcoticmarcus) the Eastern German Italo godfather of my generation. Gauf!
James (@casionova) and @magicwaves for the parties in Loftus Hall, the Magic Waves Festivals in Griessmühle and for bringing the heat 24/7 through the interwebs on intergalactic.fm
@hysteric (@mothball-record) for digging, sharing and releasing the most delicious gems out there
@automaticamore_berlin for keeping the spirit alive with their bi-monthly Italo party Automaticamore! in Berlin and for inviting me to play lately

Flash Into The Italo Night By Mr Fantasy

George Hysteric of Upside-Down Canada (Australia) recorded us jamming away Italo crap whilst drunk at Bambi's last October in Toronto, Canada. This is my vinyl set, and yes ... I always seem to play the same records. Yikes! I swear I own more than 50!

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.
