EP : Make Italo Disco Great Again Vol.2
Label : Fauve Records
Format : Digital
Cat Number: FAUVEP-MIDGA002
Release date : 28th December 2021

A wise man once said: “Make Italo Disco Great Again”.
His name was Guido Balboa.

After the huge success of Volume 1, played by the likes of Jenifer Cardini, Skatebard, Vladimir Ivkovic, Cormac, Horse Meat Disco, Belaria and many more, Fauve Records thought it was time to put together Vol.2 for you. 
This time Romain FX, went and scouted more toward the young producers of today. Digging up artists from Brazil, Japan, France & UK.

With the full spectrum of Italo represented here, you have access to the “less is more” touch, to the fast & curious and even to the more boogie side of Italo. We would like to welcome newcomers: Yukio Nohara, Ticara, REES, Austher & special mention to Val-Air for his first original release and of course usual suspects Native Red & Romain FX on duty for some intricate takes on Italo Disco.

Cheesylicous indeed.

Anna Gram - Cut Through The Noise [COR110]

With ‘Cut Through The Noise', we take a break from our singles series to welcome @anna-gram’s highly exciting third EP !

Fascinated and passionate about music from a young age, growing up in the UK in the 80s got her in touch with a wide range of sounds going from italo, early trance, breakbeat to synth-pop, hardcore and techno.

Now based in Glasgow and with a DJ career spanning over two decades, Anna Gram recently got into production with a debut EP on Hammer’s imprint ‘Remmah’ in 2021 and the follow up on Permanent Vacation last year.

She’s now back in full force and through these 3 tracks we can feel her dedication to craft a definitely modern sound, drawing strength from her days spent daydreaming about proper raves and feeding on 90s music.

It’s easy to get lost into the cosmic feeling, swirling melodies and hypnotizing vocal line running through the title track ‘Cut Through The Noise’, followed by the most euphoric cut ’Mind Control’, a significant contender for new neo-italo anthem. Wrapping up the trip and bringing in an electrifying energy is the ecstatic and trippy ‘Spirograph’ where electronica meets progressive trance.

We’re delighted to host Anna’s new musical journey on Correspondant !

Anna Gram - Mind Control

Hailing from Paris, DJ and producer Saltimbanq draws inspiration from a captivating blend of enigmatic indie dance with subtle post-punk undertones, dark disco infused with acid sounds, and new wave. 

Despite being classically trained in music from a young age, he really had his musical epiphanic moment while discovering the sparking starkness of Joy Division and the ethereal sound of Alan Parsons Project. A musical heritage inspires him, be it behind the decks or into the studio, to craft emotionally charged soundscapes underpinned by powerful beats and engaged basslines. His first release, “Tenderness Cliffhanger”, is, with that regard, a manifesto attempt, building up a slow melodic progression filled with and fueled by strong emotional intent where fairy synths and heavy basslines seem to engage in a fierce fight.

Let’s head back to 83 and then fast forward till today. Now we got Kay-Chi up for a brilliant EP. This Greek knows his way around hardware synthesizers. That’s for sure!

One might think that “Back To 83” refers to a specific year when the music was extra good or perhaps some childhood memories. While all of that may be true, what happened in 83 was the introduction of the Roland JX-3P synthesizer. And now you wonder, why is this relevant? Well, obviously because the track was made using that synthesizer, duh!

To make matters even more interesting, we invited another hardware guru to do one of the remixes, Italo Brutalo. And among these two hardware heroes, our label boss Marcus managed to sneak his way into both a remix and a collab, despite being fully digital.

Back To 83 is everything you can expect from a classic italo track. It has a super catchy and playful upbeat melody, a robot voice and a female talking about synthesizers. And there’s a very summery vibe about the whole track.

Marcus remix keeps the best of 83 and amplifies it with a bit of modern attitude, and perhaps you could call it some “soundtrack-y” chords too.

If Back To 83 was happy and summery, then “Life In A Loop” missed the exit to the summer resort and just kept going north. This one has a bit more grit, intricate arpeggios and powerful synthesizers. Combine that with poetic vocals from Kally Voo that carry a lot of attitude. Voilà!

And for Italo Brutalo’s remix on Life In A Loop, we once again find robot voices!(!!!) Together with his powerful and catchy synth lead, this remix takes more of an anthemic turn. And we love it! And wow, that kick really packs a punch!

Surface (Original Mix)

Sonic Union, one of the most respected names in progressive house, delivers his debut on ILUNA with an EP that reflects both mastery and vision. With a career built across labels like Anjunadeep, Sudbeat and Global Underground, his sound carries the weight of experience and the freshness of constant evolution.

State Of Mind:
A deep and hypnotic piece where layers of atmosphere and groove merge into a journey of pure progressive essence. Subtle, elegant and magnetic from start to finish.

Temple:
Dark, immersive and intense, this track feels like a ritual. Basslines and textures build an almost cinematic energy, perfect for late-night sets that demand depth and character.

Temple (Armendariz Remix):
The standout cut of the release. Armendariz reinterprets the original with precision and strength, pushing it into peak-time territory. Sharper percussion, evolving tension and a powerful drop turn the remix into a true weapon for the dancefloor. It’s the kind of rework that not only respects the original idea but elevates it.
