Disco Al Dente (AKA Graf Gonzo from Vienna) blew our socks off with this high-powered set of mostly obscure stuff, well mixed with a couple of favourites.
We have been bumping this one at home the last couple weeks and glad to be able to share it :)

MOTHBALL FM with Disco Al Dente (March 2023)

MIX07 - LONE SAXON

"This mix is my take on a sunrise session, blending hypnotic melodies, 90’s street soul breaks, balearica and mid tempo bouncers. Plenty of dark and light throughout the mix. Creating a soundscape that people could lose themselves in, switching the vibe up towards the end for that second wave of four to the floor manouvers."

INTERVIEW

In Flagranti - The 'Altered Currents' Ransom Note Mix

@chewifair launches the Disco Con Tutto podcast series with an eclectic mix that bridges music from machines and music from humans—always brimming with energy and warmth.

The old and the new, moving to the four and often in the in-between. Dark yet uplifting, melancholic yet cheerful. The familiar and the unknown, nostalgic yet endlessly surprising.

Immerse yourself in this journey.

DCT-Cast  #001 w/ ChewiFair

Bárbara Boeing is a stupendously good digger. She’s been collecting records for many years and her far reaching sets offer but a mere glimpse into her musical sphere.

From funk to soul, downtempo to balearic, bossa nova to house and beyond. Nothing is off limits for the Brazilian DJ who was raised in Curitiba and since moved to Milan bringing with her a renowned reputation for eclectic sets.

This mix offers a brief taste of her skills as a DJ as she weaves effortlessly between chilled out tempos whilst demonstrating that ‘dance’ music need not be heavy, hard or dark but fun, joyous and uplifting. That’s before we even mention her work as a producer. 

This one has us dreaming of sunnier climates and brighter days. They’re coming soon, believe us.

Theme from a Summer Place

No. 28 - and we are still counting. This time I'm thrilled to announce a new passenger on board of the disco al dente mix series: Flotonium, straight outta Germany. For all those who don't know him yet: Besides a good taste for trash cucumbers in the beloved 80s horror movie section, this amigo from Berlino is one half of the resident DJ duo "Audio Vacanze" @slow-motion-records, organizes Synth & Italo Disco parties under the name of "Tech Noir" and proves his commitment to the fascination of early electronic music, by serving this fantastic Vinyl only blend of italo- & euro-disco, that offers you the right sound for an epic summer trip. A symbiotic match what we call "Vizio Celeste"! Flotonium, the stage is yours :-)

"I’m super happy to be part of the venerable Disco al Dente series, since Gonzo and his audience are like-minded enjoyers of quirky and wacky escapades from the spheres of Italo and all adjacent genres. I tried to compile a vinyl only mix with records that might not necessarily go well together at first glance, but I went all in to convey the joy of blending synthy and other sounds from all over the globe

For instance, you can’t help but have a huge ball blending an Australian edit of a kitsch synth jam from Austria of all places with Fusion-drenched City Pop from bubble economy age Japan. This is what I was going for, and I also did not hesitate to weave in songs with disco guitar, which is kind of my guilty pleasure. Coming from a Metal background, the acquired affinity to electric axe sounds is still lingering, but you will see that throwing them into the mix brings off some ace pizzazz. All in all, the overall focus is yet of course Italo, with some rareish and some hit jams arranged in harmony. Gonzo’s fav of the mix is an Euro Disco tune from Spain, and I’m thrilled to hear which one is yours!"
