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.

UK producer Louis De Tomaso pushes a vibrant retro sound that’s laced with euphoric intention and has received support from the likes of Krystal Klear, Jennifer Cardini, Kendal, Pablo Bozzi, Tiger and Woods, Perel and Cormac. He comes up trumps here with two new tracks for the well-reputed Exploited imprint.

Channeling classic Eurodance and Italo, ‘Malfunction’ is a riot of a track that’s brimming with strong melodies and motifs. Within seconds you’re assaulted by an array of potent lines weaving away under ticking hi-hats and roomy snare hits, swelling to a tremendous intensity before the undulating bassline rocks in. Big arpeggios, fizzing chords, soaring leads and dramatic riffs abound, with never a dull moment in this super-colourful track. All is woven together seamlessly, erupting like a volcano as the melodies transpose to higher octaves as the track progresses. Any one of these riffs would be strong enough to be the lead refrain on any given track. Louis De Tomaso’s generous spirit instead packs them all into a huge 5 minutes and 40 seconds.

‘Prince’, a track that lay unfinished for nearly 5 years, is more on the hi-NRG tip. Given a new lick of paint by De Tomaso, it’s driven by a camp, sugary lead riff that bursts through the mix like a buzzsaw. Chugging bass arpeggios provide more forward-thrust as the spacious beats hammer away and classic ravey synth sounds hammer out a delightful selection of colourful hooks. A huge build where pitch risers meet rapid-fire claps sends the track rocketing into the ether, exploding in a rainbow of colour. Fun levels are maxxed out on this one.

In early 2023 Ritmo is turning 3 and their first release of the year is an exciting double part various called Epifania. It is the best definition of Ritmo Fatale so far.

Neo-Italo? Yes.
Italo-trance? Yes.
Modern synthwave? Yes.
80’s obsession? Yes.
Dystopian imagery? Yes.
Melancholia, nostalgia & happiness all together? Definitely yes.

It’s all that and many more, served by a super talented casting we’re hyper-proud of welcoming into the family.

Coming from Indonesia, Morocco or Spain, London, Montreal, Berlin, Paris or Prague, bringing you the best of italo-trance, IBM & EBM, prog-house, and everything in between. This is the diverse variety of sounds we love and have liked to showcase on the label since day one.

INCOMING : Dog.ma - Elettromagnetismo (Louis de Tomaso Remix) #ClubMackan
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/release/elettromagnetismo/4274455
Release date : 2023-10-19

For our next release we have two supercharged tracks by the Italian duo Dog.ma and also two equally charged remixes by Louis de Tomaso and Brandski. 

What do you get when you have four supercharged tracks within an electromagnetic field? You get electromagnetism. Or in this case, you get “Elettromagnetismo” since our tracks are fully charged with italo disco, every single one of them!

As in true 80s fashion, both Elettromagnetismo and Darpah are charged with driving basslines, catchy one-finger melodies and vocal sounding synthesizers. Darpah tends to feel a little more melodic with its beautiful chord progression while Elettromagnetismo is very energetic and straight forward. 

Louis de Tomaso’s remix gives Elettromagnetismo even more of an electric feel. True to the original but with his own style, it’s safe to say that Louis’s remix is supercharged. 

If the original tracks were made in true 80s fashion, then Brandski’s remix is not just made in true 80s fashion, it’s the definition of it. With a classic rolling italo bassline, Brandski’s remix gives Darpah even more of an authentic 80’s feeling than the original.

INCOMING : Jordan Nocturne - Is It Trance? #Polari

Release date : 2024-01-31

Buy : https://polarirecords.bandcamp.com/album/no-tears-in-the-backroom-va-vol-2

The Queer Northern-Ireland born Cormac is back from another busy year as a label honcho and curator with the second Polari compilation No Tears In The Backroom Vol. 2 scheduled for release 31st of January 2024.

The compilation is filled with synth heavy swings, acid basslines, steamy vocals and lots of fun, making NTITB Vol. 2 the perfect entrance release into the new year.
Cormac says; No Tears In The Backroom Vol. 2 is a unique family with offerings from Polari hitmakers such as Jordan Nocturne, ROTCIV, & Louis de Tomaso as well as introducing new talent to the roster including DJ City,Nimmo, Shay Shaz, Hifi Sean, Joshua James + Xols.
I curate the compilation much as I do a DJ set, so there is a voyage of sorts in listening to the compilation as a whole.
I encourage the listener to listen as you would an album, although they of course work solo as well.

A 10-track long journey forms a unique force of anthemic sounds, tapping into nostalgia but never pulling away from today's references. No Tears In The Backroom Vol. 2 serves as a dance-heavy pursuit aiming to not hold back.

The label profits from the new compilation are going to charity. Polari has previously raised money for All Out.
Doctors Without Borders is a politically neutral Non-Governmental Organisation whose main objective is to treat people in regions of the world where they are most needed. They are currently most active in Gaza and have a further 70 projects active in the world.

Back to sunrise vibes - the Glitter side of the project.
It’s been months since I’ve last released an edit which, as you know, is one of my favorite studio delights.

Lovelock is the moniker of Steve Moore, a major musician and producer in the synth/movie scene. His Burning Feeling album from 2012 is a new-wave and italo masterpiece which contains many gems, among which Love Reaction. This tune caught my attention because of this intoxicating chorus. 💫

This edit embodies pure high-energy vibes to be enjoyed without restraint!

Love & Danger in Paradise is an amalgamation of ZF's cultural fascinations. Inspired by likes of Vice City, Drive and Giorgio Moroder, for our annual themed compilation project, we sought out artists that create and craft neo-nostalgic sounds.

A retro musical direction drove the selection process, pulling tracks from italo-disco and indie dance genres. Each of the twelve hand-picked artists added a distinctive sonic uniqueness to the album. Cosmic, groovy and melodic club-ready works, all designed to timewarp the aural sense.

This curated collection musters up visions of midnight road trips, neon-lit city wanderings and dark disco discotheques, because in reality - what hath night to do with sleep?
