Frinda di Lanco Mixes

The mullets of the experimental 80s synth wave preferably wear denim jackets and pierce you with their harsh expressions. Get you shoes on and hair done for that journey from russian and polish synth-pop over french minimal wave and dutch new beat to swedish industrial.

Frinda di Lanco's festival contribution for Uus Festivaali / Finland recorded at Kiezsauna Berlin.

Frinda di Lanco @ Uus Festivaali Finland 2021

There was a period in time when everyone could be exactly what they wanted to be, a mullet-haired astronaut in front of a paper mâché starship panel, a blond native american dancing around a camp fire, a pirate on the sea drinking whiskey, wine and gin. The european disco scene of the 70s offered any possible scenery to day-dream in every (for today's listeners possibly politically incorrect)way. This episode will offer a jouney through Frinda's german/austro selection in the first hour and songs about robots, food, good batteries, disco dancing, space aliens, and – of course – love when it comes to Geoffrey's set.

Geoffrey LaRue believes that there is no life without glamour. Having grown up in Detroit, the visual artist and record collector recently moved to Berlin to desperately miss pizza and follow their childhood dream of being just like Steven Spielberg by studying stage design at UDK. Although Geoffrey is primarily known for the humorous guest lists at their disco party series "Suck It!”, they are now dedicated to manufacturing drama and to be honest, I envision them one day to create brain-melting deco and stage design for Cocktail or Buttons party without even owing a single plain black t-shirt in Berlin. I came across this human with varied interests at Humboldthain in 2019 when they opened their set playing G Bri's – Non Rompere followed by a mesmerizing uptempo cosmic disco set that just blew everyone away.

Somewhere between synthetic birds and rhythmic drums creates a rather long-haired mullet-wearing musician the sound of a new age.

For the end-of-the-year show I teamed up with my partner in music and life Hendrik Stein for an intimate, folky edition of Music From Mullets. We've compiled songs from UK and US over Italy, Czech Republic and Greece to Japan and South Korea for a heart-warming winter special.

Music From Mullets 006 – Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein

Like a summer wind Sandra Stein alias Frinda Di Lanco goes about her craft : Sometimes soft with glimpses of blissful days at the shore – other times as a refreshing breeze pushing away clouds and pulling at your limbs to get you moving; and in some cases just straight raising the roof to a point where the shingles go flying.

These cosmically imbued gusts carried her name onto many line-ups alongside the grands of the scene and to venues beloved: sharing the decks with names like Beppe Loda, Budino, Franz Scala and Johannes Albert and casting aside the drapes of the everyday at Primavera Sound, Fusion Festival, Berlin’s infamous"Cocktail d’Amore“ party, the "Warning“ installments at "about blank" and places as far as Krakow, Sofia, Beijing and Tokyo.

Her carefully selected sets gathered from backyards, basements, and record store back rooms from Lisbon to Beijing and Oslo to Palermo – wherever she and her partner in life, crime and business are carried to on their digging odysseys – range from oddball disco, funk and library to italo, wave and new beat with detours into tribal and trance – taking you onto a wild trip where even the most seasoned dance-averse will be blown onto the dance floor.

Besides stirring up crowds her love for music and vinyl can be seen and heard – and bought –  all over Germany’s capital and the aether of the world wide web. She hosts a well-curated radio show by the name of "Music From Mullets“ with guest appearances by Donna Leake, CV Vision or Arsenii (check his dope mix for LYO if you can). Additionally beloved outlets such as Amsterdam's Bordello Radio, Hysteric's Mothball FM, Mr. Bongo Record Club, Refuge Worldwide and Berlin’s experimental Cashmere Radio carried Frinda’s explorations into music apart from the dance floor out to the world.

Her party series "Ciao Amore Baci“ dedicated to vibrant Italian disco gems and featuring reknown and up-coming local DJs has become a welcome alternative for the disco-orientated Berlin nightlife longing to move to sounds apart the beaten track. 

On top of that Frinda di Lanco and her partner Hendrik Stein founded their record label / store "Avec Plaisir“ selling and releasing hand-picked rarities since 2020 – working with the likes of cosmic legend DJ Stefan Egger as well as digging private press record releases from the 1970's to 90's.

Music From Mullets 008 – Frinda di Lanco & Jussi Kantonen

Big thanks to Mrs. Sandra Stein aka Frinda Di Lanco for this exquisite contribution to our mix series, highly appropriate for the higher temperatures instilled by this Summer's realities. A beautiful display of Frinda's brand of historical dancefloor heavy weight, an aesthetic that has been brewing and elaborating by virtue of her years of research throughout countless worldwide record bin assaults, co-running the "Avec Plaisir" label and throwing the "Ciao Amore Baci" parties. Her path in navigating the contemporary dancefloor scene has been truly refreshing and inspiring to follow. 
Listen for yourselves <3 Thank you Sandra!

Music From Mullets #10 is coming your way 🎶 with a bit of extra length. I tried to squeeze in a lot of records I found during the last vacation / digging trip with Henna Stein starting with Latin / South American rhythms over Italian prog to new wave from Israel, French synth-pop and all the other things you would never expect finding on a roadtrip around the Alpes.

"A light-hearted balearic mix with songs from the late 80s and early 90s - as always taken from many different countries like Italy, Brazil, Sweden, Germany, France, Japan, Portugal… I recorded it a few weeks ago when I wanted the sun to come out so badly! So here it is, welcoming the warm summer months and looking forward to breezy days at the beach." - @frinda_di_lanco

Balearic Disorder w/ Frinda Di Lanco @ Radio 80000 | FLINTA WEEK

Welcome to another episode of Music From Mullets. Since I've recently recorded some balearic mixes for other channels, I was still in the mood for that kind of vibe, so here is a nice ride from synth-pop over italian and 80s soundtrack, japanese and south korean pop, leftfield and slow italo jams. While the first hour is more a dive into fresh and cold water, uprising talent @Jeepsooni from Seoul / South Korea provides the warm sunbath to sooth your senses with AOR und uplifting boogie in the second hour.

This episode takes you right on the dance floor to one of our Ciao Amore Baci parties as the guest mix is a live recording from @le_discoboulet 's last set, full of cosmic disco, italo, german synth pop and oddball gems.

Music From Mullets #15 spontaneously turned out to become the #greek edition after 6 days of wonderful #crete spending time with the San People family. Not that I have huge collection of greek music, but I found some #records in the local thrift store, worked through the @intothelightrecords label catalogue and got hot stuff recommended by @petit_bear 
In the second hour of tonights show I‘m happy to bring you a guest mix by one of San People‘s heads Anastasi who is not only an amazing host but also a great dj. His guest mix ranges from ambient and trippy tunes to wavey synthpop and slow italo.

While the sweetness of the last summer sun beams dissolve into the funky and sometimes odd flavours of fall Music From Mullets #16 comes up with a new episode ranging from balearic to wavey and leftfield sounds.

I'm sure most tracks that I play in Music From Mullets #18 sound familiar to you – but maybe just not in that version. You can travel to the farthermost corner of the world to find a cover version of Donna Summer's "State of Independence" or Level 42's "Lessons In Love".
Funnily enough seems like I'm sharing that urge to collect these #coverversions from all around the globe with Joachim Schiødt aka @boogie_rookie from Copenhagen. The uprising Danish dj sprinkled his set at our Ciao Amore Baci party with lots of cover gold. You can hear it in the second part of the show.

For Music From Mullets #19 we're going deep into the guitar section and celebrate the release of the forthcoming Crazy Temple EP on Avec Plaisir – the label that I am running with my partner @hendrik_stein
We will listen to six tracks of the record which is gonna be release by March/April 2024. To complete the journey I've been digging into Austrian and German Progressive Rock from around the 80s as well as pulled some great Rock oddities and classics from the @avec_plaisir_records shop

Show number 20! I guess that's a level up – I won Cosmic Disco master Nikolaj Birgens aka @nixxon over for my anniversary show so we can recap the set from his Ciao Amore Baci appearance once again. For the warm-up I'm serving you from balearic over funky disco to italo – or like Nikolaj put it: "It reminded me of memories from when I was a kid driving with my family in an old Mercedes Benz 280 from the 70s through Italy heading to lake Garda"

For tonight's show I curated two full hours of Spanish gems – not just from Spain, but also from Venezuela, Peru, Mexico, Cuba and the Catalan region. We're kinda making our way through the decades, starting with Alicia Maguiña in 1962 and moving towards the 90s. While the first hour is rather dedicated to slow and mid-tempo vibes, I'm increasing the energy in the second half. Shout-outs to DJ Spoki, Mr. Fantasy, Trujillo, Nemo & Castro for inspiration!

Music From Mullets #21 w/ Frinda di Lanco – Spanish Special

Welcome back to another episode of Music From Mullets after the summer break, once again dedicated to Italian disco. I’m proud to add a guest contribution from the very core of the Italian disco scene for today’s show: A mix by Antonio Lubrano from Calabria. He runs the infamous Disco-Tic series with Daniele Giustra and plays at club Undead in Reggio di Calabria on a regular base. I’m warming up with one hour of emotional uptempo disco, like proper Ciao Amore Baci peak time material.

Here is a new episode of Music From Mullets with a focus on Reggae, Calypso and Zouk. I'm diving into the rather southern flavoured genres, still being able to fit in the melancholy of the current mood. This time's guest mix comes from Elena Annibali aka Jenny Savana – collector of rare records and member of @maledettadiscoteca. As a true master in the field of southern rhythms Jenny Savana recorded a mix from Bossa & Samba to Calypso and Zouk, with Reggae as a leitmotif.

Music From Mullets #24 starts into 2025 with two hours dedicated to Ambient and New Age, maybe with a little folky, sometimes even spiritual impact. The second hour comes with a guest mix straight from the bin @growingbinrecords –– Basso has been a musical inspiration since many many years and lots of his early YT uploads are still some of my long-time favorite records. This is gonna be an episode to either stretch out on your yoga mat or curl up next to your cat. It will gently massage your eardrum.

Music From Mullets #24 w/ Frinda di Lanco & Basso

This episode is a Greek & Turkish special – I had the idea when @renavolvo played her Turkish playlist to me a couple of months ago, when we spend some vacation time together in Reggio di Calabria. While she has been digging deeply into turkish 90s dance music, I was totally into greek synth pop from the 90s. So why not putting those two topics together, two countries, that use similar harmonies in their musical heritage and that must have been influencing each other for hundreds or even thousands of years.

„This mix is dedicated to Tugba and Hülya with a big hug and big thank you for showing me their world of Turkish music and brought back a deep love that was hidden in my head for a few years! - Öptüm you sweethearts!"

To celebrate the end of an era, I've dedicated this show to the Ciao Amore Baci party, that Hendrik and I have been running from 2019 to 2024. This special excerpt is from a very early edition in January 2020 when Hendrik and I just played all night, because we did not expect a lot of people short after New Years. I would say this recording represents pretty much what we've been doing with this party, which was not just an "Italo party" but a night open to organic funk and disco sound from the 70s mostly from Italy but also from other parts of the world – up to 80s Italo and synth pop on a rather unknown level. Here are the first two hours.

Music From Mullets #26 w/ Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein - Live from Ciao Amore Baci

I’ve prepared another music special for you – the first hour will be all about vinyl records from Ex-Yugoslavia that I found on my last trip to Belgrade. It is featuring records released on Jugoton, Jugodisc –before 1981 know as Beograd Disc – and RTB „Radio-Televiiiiizija Beograd“ another state-owned record company that existed during the period of socialist Yugoslavia – the label changed it’s name to RTS afte 1992 when it changed to Radio-television of Serbia. It's a classy Frinda selection, ranging from folk and jazz-rock over balearic synth pop to library and disco-funk (from the late 70s to mid 90s)

My guest for the show is Tom Sky of Sound Essence, and he calls the mix he recorded for me "Cosmic Visions" – featuring Kraut, wave, NDW – it’s a bit more on the experimental side and sounds a bit like a freaky intergalactic radio play from time to time. Cosmic Visions is also the main track of the upcoming cosmic kraut LP „Spakling-Sound-Rock“ by R&S Band on Tom’s label Sound Essence, which is gonna be released in July. You're getting a sneak peak here as the first track of his mix the main track of the LP.
