Recorded on a dreary summer day in permafrost Berlino with 2x 1210 MKII, Ecler Warm2, Oto Biscuit

To lift the spirits during this abstinent summer season, I recorded my second effort in the series Italo Obscuro. As in the first edition, this mix comprises a personal journey through the genre most dear to my heart, which still seems to be an inexhaustible cornucopia of musical treasures. As always a lil disclaimer ahead, since the title is to be taken with a grain of salt. If you are already familiar with the genre, you will possibly know some of the tracks and not deem them to be super scarce. Hope you will enjoy in any case!

DJ Peet Need - Di Vecchio Stampo 142

'Dark and cold season has arrived. This dark-disco mixtape can give you comfort in the darkness. ANKA blendes rolling synthies, well known edits with spheric breakbeats. They love retro classics and bouncy-bassy-bangers. As part of the Leipzig collective Italo-Fundamentalo, they organize a queer party series 'Disco Sprizz'. For ANKA music is liberation and self-empowerment. Influenced by ballroom culture, they curate colorful and cross-genre sets. <3'

Bordello Radio #144 - ANKA

Franz Scala’s sets are as diverse as the music he curates as label head of Slow Motion. Weaving smoothly between Italian Dance, Psychedelic Disco and Proto House, Franz quickly turns the dance floor into a vignette-tainted retro nostalgia rave fueled only by his music. 

Born in Italy and now a resident of Berlin for a decade Franz has his roots in noise rock and elettronica but was led by the record collectors passion into acquiring a taste for modern and not so modern dance floor music. He frequently inspires dancers in clubs all over Europe with his eclectic blend of spacey House, New Wave, Italo and Acid speckled with hints of Electro and Chicago House.

Aside from producing on his own imprint, he has releases on World Unknown, Bordello A Parigi, Bahnsteig 23, Tusk Wax, Mechatronica or Discodromo´s Cocktail d’Amore Music. Franz is link to many events around the german capital such as the monthly Wrong Era, Italian Dance Wave and Italorama night in Panorama Bar, Magic Waves or New Dance Fantasy Festival.

Beside long time collaboration with Sameheads he is regular dj at Griessmuhle and Salon zur Wilden Renate. In 2013 he joined Dimitri SoEmotional in the “Studio Luce” project.

In this mix, I tried to blend two genres that share the same disco roots and arguably a lot of musical tropes. In many cases, the borders are blurred and it is hard to pin down whether we're dealing with spaghetti disco or its eclectic cousin from the north - Canadian maple NRG stompers 🍁 
Obviously the majority of tracks feature higher bpms, but don't expect TikTok-style over the top speed. Oddly enough, I noticed that many of the songs in this mix tending towards Hi-NRG are conveying a certain notion of bittersweetness or melancholy, contradicting the cliché of the happy-go-lucky mass produced tracks of this genre from the later 80s. Herein probably lies a compelling connective tissue between Italo and Hi-NRG, but in any case, pizza and poutine go together surprisingly well.
