disco al dente #014 - Loving Again (Gonzo Tape)

With a little delay, an italian rabbit finally reached disco al dente this year and brought us a nest full of golden easter eggs!

This time I welcome a very talented duo from Pulia, called Marta Paradise. They have recently caught my attention on insta with their authentic retro-electronic sound and prepared a great mix of hand-picked gems and timeless favs for all italo disco lovers around the world. 

Pls follow & include @user-497513807 for your track ID requests & support!

Some words from the duo...
"Paolo ancona and Davide Pozzovivo together form the duo ‘Marta Paradise’, they are two boys originally from Martina Franca in Puglia class of 1998.

Their purpose is to stick to past influences with the aim of rediscovering the old vibes of 80’ electronic music with a particular influence of their current generation.

Driven by the environment that surrounds them and by the desire to express and share their own message, they decide to create their first EP

Trying to describe what surrounds them from different points of view by going from the most nostalgic and melancholic aspect to the most carefree and cheerful and that can distract from what is everyday life.

Our goal is to eliminate negative energy through the power of music."

disco al dente #016 - Gonzo's Dream (Gonzo Tape)

Buon Vacanze Ragazzi!

Just in time for the summer season, I'm serving contribution no. 17 of the disco al dente mix series. A tropical cocktail of rarities that will not only unleash the taste buds in your mouth. True to the motto "Per Tutti i Gusti", this fantastic journey reflects the multifaceted nature of Italian dance music from the early 80s in it's purest form. After 15 minutes of heartwarming sounds that bring even the hottest Casanova to its knees, the italo disco machinery starts rolling and brings us the perfect accompaniment for electrifying summer nights.

So what are you waiting for? Get in your red Ferrari, grab a cold Coca-Cola and dance the limbo with Caramba! 

"Rattini are very large, diverse tribe of muroid rodents in the subfamily Murinae. They are found throughout Asia and Australasia"

disco al dente #017 - Per Tutti I Gusti (Gonzo Tape)

Almost two years ago I started the disco al dente podcast series to leave my footprint in the digital world when it comes to Italo Disco. After 7 guest mixes with beloved hosts, 10 gonzo tapes at disco al dente and over 250 different 5-star tracks, the bar for the next set was high. No need to worry - my motivation, dedication and the existing ammunition in the quiver is stronger than ever - after countless sleepless nights I proudly present an outsider mix that doesn't need to hide. Handpicked rarities of the past, which are still almost exclusively available on vinyl or come from dusty cassettes from the basement. A homage to Sanremo, a wink to France and a declaration of love to Argentina. "Le Post-Scriptum" combines everything that I understand as the definition of the holy grail of italo disco.

Buon Appetito, enjoy this exclusive trip and if you like what you hear, pls support with a comment, share and like!

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!
