Vanesa G - Right Here Waiting (Extended Savage Style)

'Harmona' is the first single from Ichisan’s fourth studio album, which is due soon on Disc-o-lypso. 

It comes with two remixes by Dan Tyler of Idjut Boys and a brand new video created by illustrator Meta Wraber and director Anna Boberg, who has worked with the likes of The Chemical Brothers. 

By now, Ichisan is a well-known talent in the world of disco house. The Slovenian is a skilled guitarist and brings his musicality to bear in all his tunes. He counts the likes of Prins Thomas and Pete Herbert as fans and has released numerous EPs and LPs on labels like Nang, Bordello A Parigi and Eskimo. 

The fantastic 'Harmona' is a Balearic disco jam with a filtered Moog-style melody, a funky synth bassline and lush flanger-strings. It overflows with colour and charm and is the sort of dance floor dynamite that always takes things to the next level. Remixer Dan Tyler of Idjut Boys is well known for cooking up left of centre and dubbed out house with plenty of disco influences. Firstly, he adds his wonky tape delay and signature flange over the main theme to take it in a new direction. He also offers an Acid Casualty mix that is more gnarly and perfect for darker dance floors. 

The accompanying video sees the watercolour paintings of Meta Wraber brought to life by Anna Boberg. Meta is Ichisan’s partner, and a successful illustrator. Anna is a wizard with after-effects and a notable animator - a dream team for this blissful track! 

The irresistible 'Harmona' is a great taster of the full length to come.

"Oneway - Summer Is Here" has been created for the Italo Disco Festival - Flashback 20th Anniversary event. The idea was to have an Italo summer anthem that would also be the theme song of the party. Flashback boss, Kimmo Salo asked Dr. Mateo to think of something that would fit for the purpose, something catchy with summer feeling and easy sing-along chorus... and Dr. Mateo indeed did what he was asked for.
The "Oneway" trio was together again when Sandor "Electro Potato" Mate did the finalizing and came up with two different extended mixes. 

The Flashback team wishes a relaxing summer to all Italo Disco lovers:
SUMMER IS HERE!

Balearic bath-bomb Fran Deeper hits the heights for Hot Digits with the sumptuously juicy Palmaric EP. 

Kicking things off for this outstanding 5 tracker is ‘Night Tropic – a late night dreamy journey into hypnotic bass, strings and melodic sweeps. What makes this one so very special is the ethereal, sweary vocal dripped lovingly all over the music. A track for dawn as much as it is for dusk.

Track number 2 is the funky and chunky ‘Groove Garden’. There’s a seriously pulsating drive to this 121bpm corker. Fran Deeper weaves in an almost bluesy feel to the jam that immediately hooks you with a thumping bass and blippy Kraftwerkian Moog sounds. Rip-roaring, genre hopping wholesome fun. 

Friday Rhythm is a sonic blast of raunchy guitar licks, wah-wah pedal and Jean-Michel Jarre-esque synth ensemble. Combining intricate soundscapes and arrangements, Fran adds a dirty (bordering on filthy) sax for extra flavour to complete this saucy electronic flambe which leaves you in a heap and begging for more. 

Track number four sees Hot Digits favourite Ian Upfold on remix duties for ‘Night Tropic’. Mr Upfold applies the perfect electro-dub varnish to the original. A minimalistic but melodic start enigmatically transforms into an emotional, orchestral explosion of strings, piano solo, wonky synth and of course, that gorgeously profane vocal sample.  

Closing this exceptional EP is the JaysEdits All Day Long Remix of ‘Night Tropic’. An acid-bass entwined with sub-woofer testing drums createsw an unmistakeable midnight bootleg feel. It pounds, it burrows, it builds and it gets inside your head where it will live forever as an AI overlord. An absolute horse of a tune as they’d say in some quarters. 

The Palmaric EP is sure to get tongues wagging and dance floors moving in an autumnal haze and continues Hot Digits’ ongoing mission to push boundaries and raise ceilings.

Description
Let’s welcome a new collaboration by the Tiger Club team. This time Michael and Jens teamed up with Graziano and G.J. Lunghi; artists that have been collaborating with Flashback just recently. A new track “Star” has a relaxed “Italo groove” with perfect Italo lead vocals by Graziano. The chorus has been built up to be a kind of duet of a male and female voices and that’s where Gabriella comes in.

The A side has the Original Mix by Tiger Club and from the B-side you can find the Flashback Remix by Juan Segundo; the sound engineer behind Graziano’s previous single “Toward The Light”.

Special mention for the authentic early 80s styled Italo cover graphics to Jens.

I gave this great classic disco song a revamp with some added vocals and mean no disrespect to the original masterpiece. Santa Esmeralda is an American-French-Spanish disco group formed in the 1970s; perhaps best known for their hit disco remakes of the 1960s hits "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "House of the Rising Sun". The group featured original lead singer Leroy Gómez in 1977-1978 . The song became a sudden success in Europe, the record was then  picked up for worldwide distribution by Casablanca Records.

Flashback Records is dedicated to Italian dance music of the 80s. The idea of the label is to release 80s Italo Disco music that has never been released before. Sometimes the released material has been taken directly from the old master tapes or has been re-arranged and produced based on old demos, but most of the cases the tracks are written and arranged nowadays, keeping the old style and sounds of the 80s. The main goal is to discover, produce and release 80s Italian dance tracks and in this way keep this great music alive and bring lost Italo Disco tracks to the daylight and delight of Italo-fans.The main form for Flashback Records releases are 12″ vinyls (in the 80s spirit), but Flashback Records has also released some CD albums. All the products are official releases under supervision of S.I.A.E. – Italy or NcB – Scandinavia. Flashback vinyl releases are very limited editions and ment mainly for the collectors and DJs. Flashback Records sub-labels, Disco Evolution, M-Energy Records, Time Machine Productions and Rebirth Records, have been created to connect 80s Italo Disco music to the present time by giving some modern flavour to the sound (Disco Evolution) and by introducing new generation Italo artists (Rebirth Records). By buying our products you will support our activity and you will give us a chance to continue our projects and maybe the next Flashback release will be a real masterpiece of Italo Disco for you.
