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)

Baci all'italiana

Some words by Starborough:

"It was a big pleasure for me to play at Italorator! Like Marsman, I got hooked on italo and disco because of I-F's Cybernetic Broadcasting Station, that later turned into IntergalacticFM. Its influence on my musical taste can't be overstated. After being an avid listener, programming shows and doing a lot of work behind the scenes, I started making monthly deejay mixes for IFM some three years ago and haven't stopped since. For my Italorator mix I decided to focus on mid 80s italo songs that are heavy on synth action and drama. One to sing along to with clenched fists. I hope you enjoy listining as much as I liked mixing it up. Playing disco for the dancer, all ready for the sound!"

Italorator w/ Starborough [Episode 16.5]

This episode features  @frinda_di_lanco – one half of @avec_plaisir_records, a good friend and my biggest inspiration.
She’s bringing you a beautiful set full of warm synth magic ✨ perfect for catching the first rays of sunshine.
Honestly, I don't think this needs many words – but for those who still haven’t discovered this fabulous woman…
Frinda is a true staple of Berlin’s disco scene – an artist who has shaped it with her unique and deeply emotional sound. A passionate digger with an ear for rare gems and hidden treasures. Always her hands in the crates, digging deep and spending hours in the dustiest record stores - finding tunes that where almost forgotten.
I'm so happy to have you on board! Big hug ragazza ♥️

What up Idle Cellars fam? We’re back with another stellar new mix for your spring-into-summer fun, so pop a tasty bottle and get horizontal! Once again we’re proud to give you a mix from some of the world’s best selectors and this month showcases another favorite - it’s Brooklyn’s JKriv! We met Jason while he was holding down basslines for incredible acoustic House band Tortured Soul, which he followed swiftly by a stint in NYC disco-obsessed group Escort (amazing!), then linking up with Aaron Dae to create the influential Razor-N-Tape label empire! Since then the man has been living the disco dream, traveling the world playing tunes, making some fantastic music (check out his groovy and soothing Within EP) and opening the RNT record shop in addition to being a wonderful human being. 

He’s hooked us up with a poolside killer that has us dreaming of hot, hazy afternoons treading water, mornings when there’s nothing to do but soak in some rays, & nights of wine & torchlit patios. We hope you enjoy as much as we do!

For Episode 02 of the Balearic London mix series we're joined by the amazing Jaye Ward. Jaye is an expert at all things weird and wonky, from ambient to techno, and in this mix she explores the trippier sides of balearic. DJ Harvey selected her several times to support him - be it at his album launch or clubs like KOKO - so you know she must be excellent with his stamp of approval. Expect the unexpected and dive in.

You can see Jaye play the upstairs room at our party this Saturday 19th July at 17 Little Portland Street, with Willie Graff headlining. Sign up here to join us: https://www.little-portland.com/booking-options-htfs

Flemming Dalum, also know as King of the cut, discovered his musical journey at an early age. An interest based out of curiosity for electronic synthesizer legends emerging while he grew up. With his first synth, the Korg Polysix, a lifelong passion was born. He started playing in bands in 1982, experimenting with electronics and the new world of sounds and possibilities. At the same time he started experimenting with records and discovered a natural talent for mixing and blending synths with records, creating his own unique world of sound. In mind that the CD wasn't invented, neither was the HD recorder, the heart in Flemmings set-up was a simple cassette recorder. An invention that should soon add yet another angle to his musical universe. With snappy skills and imagination, the cassette soon became his most important instrument taking him to the next level. The world of mixing. With sampler, echomachine, decks, synths and a beloved cassette recorder, the first true mixes came out of his studio already in 1983. Mixes with so much detail, soon giving him the legendary name "King of the cut". In the same year, 1983, Flemming stumbled across Koto "Chinese Revenge", a discovery that should soon lead Flemming into a brave new world matching his own, with synths and electronics being the heart of the music. The passion became strong and shortly after the Koto discovery, brought him to his first trip to Milan, Il Discotto, Discomagic, Non-Stop, Merak etc. to investigate the Italo phenomenon in detail. The following years Flemming visited the Italian distributors 11 times which later proves to be one of the major reasons to the fact that he has one of the worlds most complete collections of Italo and Disco. Through the years, the synths has been replaced with computers and equipment matching the urge for mixing. Something that has kept the true Italo spirit alive and made Flemming Dalum a legend in mixing today.
