Baldeejays & Filippo Bachini - Hotel Italo Vol. 1

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

Live at Contort Yourself (Meanjin/Brisbane, 24/06/23)

A collector of italo and other related genres, I’m constantly digging for sounds old and new to insert into my mixes. I try to make as many good quality mixes as possible because I want people to hear all these great songs. I currently have a DJ residence in my home studio as well as various living rooms around the LA area. I’m currently at work finishing new songs for my own label Dinamo Beat (https://freqtronik.bandcamp.com/). Lookout for some original HiNRG and Synthpop sounds soon. Thanks, Disco Tic!

"La Danza Della Persuasione" Guest mix by Georgio Dj (Los Angeles)

Third mix in our GSC mix series, presented by Barcelona based dancefloor killer @chicosimondj. Promoter of countless parties such as the infamous Diggin You, BUMP and previously Glove parties, Simone has been an important actor of Barcelona’s nightlife for the past decade. We first met him when travelling to Spain last summer and has been of the most genuine encounters we’ve had accross our music journey. From obscure disco bangers to weird underground electronic music Chico’s passion for music knows no boundaries as shown in this glorious mix he sent us ❤️

Hysteric - Halloween A Parigi 2023 (Hell On Earth)

Body Talk is a party concept in Antwerp run by John Noseda  (We Can Dance, Body Talk, Running Back) & Bordel. Also a radio show now once a month on WAV with local to international guests.

This month’s guest mix comes from Hysteric.

If we’re talking about contemporary edit maestros, Hysteric‘s name would definitely be up there. With a penchant for the sounds of the 80s, the Melbourne-based DJ, producer and label boss has been adding his subtle touch to oddball rarities and stone-cold classics alike, crafting his own personal takes on Italo, new wave, new beat and synth-pop discoveries.

disco al dente #021 - Avventura Oscura (Gonzo Tape)

For Saint Valentine, my friend Violet Poison presents "Happy Violetime", a mix dedicated to lovers, friends, enemies and strangers. Starting with 80's-sounding library music, expanding the spectrum to minimal-synth and finally entering the tunnel with flavored oldschool-alike body music, mixing new and old material. The mix has a specular end, which reminds to the first track, because love is a circle. Or a cycle. Enjoy!

Follow and include @violet-poison for your track ID request. Happy Valentine's Day!

disco al dente #022 - Happy Violetime (Valentine's Special by Violet Poison) (IT)

Welcome to June and Happy Pride!

I am particularly pleased that this time I can present you an excellent pride special from the inspiring Captain Ahoy. The perfect sound to enjoy life and love to the fullest level in the most beautiful month of the year :)
  
Captain & me have a pretty funny connection as I started my first disco al dente mix with 2 wonderful edits from him and we didn't know each other back then. I'm all the more pleased that Captain is now on board and will continue to keep the disco al dente express rolling.

Below you will find some beautiful lines from the captain himself:
I reached out to Disco Al Dente run by Gonzo to record a cheeky mix because I consider his channel as an Italo Disco orientated gift to the world.
It's been an honour collaborating with him on this mix, hearing his feedbacks, track suggestions, and witnessing the immense care he puts on everything he does!

I was too happy to un-duste some Italo gems I had for years! 
I combined rare tracks with some classics for a result I am satisfied with. More than the tracks & the mix itself - working with Disco Al Dente's Head-Honcho has been a treat! The memory I'll cherish the most is about this new friendship that unfolded out of this collaboration 🌟

pls follow & include @djahoy for your track ID request and enjoy the mix!
