Antonio Lubrano, a seasoned radio sound engineer who embarked on his musical journey at the young age of 15 and became a resident DJ at prominent city clubs by the age of 18, has consistently harbored a passion for diverse non-commercial music. His DJ sets reflect a deliberate effort to introduce lesser-known sounds, injecting an element of unpredictability. Renowned as a "vinyl enthusiast" within the industry, Antonio has, in recent years, delved into the world of collecting rare records, sourcing gems from the Italian and European underground scenes spanning the 70s, 80s, and even the 90s—acquiring them through both online platforms and eclectic flea markets.

In 2022 Antonio, alongside collaborator Daniele Giustra, proudly co-founded "Disco Tic." This innovative project showcases the art of back-to-back performances exclusively on vinyl, with a focus on 45s featuring the distinctive Italo-disco sound. The duo has given life to a vibrant SoundCloud channel under the same name, featuring meticulously curated mixtapes crafted by DJs and selectors from across the globe. This platform serves as a testament to their commitment to promoting and preserving the rich legacy of underground music.

Antonio Lubrano - Discoteca Podcast 130

In 2023, I met Sandra and Hendrik, the minds behind Avec Plaisir Records, during their Helsinki trip. Sandra's sets blend Italo and rare disco, reflecting her dedication and warmth. Explore the interview and links below!

What were your first impressions of OKS?

The first time I heard of OK Sound was about a year ago, when I was invited to play at Kaiku and Olli told me about that box of second hand Italo 12"s that no one had seen yet. But the schedule that weekend was too tight to make it happen and see the shop. A few months later I came a second time to Helsinki with my partner Hendrik and we brought enough time. That was when we got to know Kris, who was play-grading HiNRG records in the shop, which caught my attention. I remember how he dropped that Jackie Touché record and I was immediately hooked and that started the conversation. I ended up buying another HiNRG gem that was on my list for a while (Far East Connection – Ready To Go) and which of course made it's way into this mix. I remember the store as a place with lots of stuff to discover. I went though the Dollar Bins (3€ crates in this case) and snatched some uptempo disco maxis as well – and when I thought I was through I got aware of the 7" boxes near the couch where I found that C. Dorian record, which has a great instrumental B-Side.  

If this mix can teleport listeners to some other dimension (or fictional world or whatever) where would it take them?

It is funny that you are asking this, because I recently thought this is really what my mixes do, pulling the listener into some other dimension or parallel world, where there's no boarders and people can move freely and be what they want to be without needing to fit into our recent system. I am finding my music in many different corners of the world – through research but also through the privilege of being able to travel. I usually follow my own personal taste more than trying to fit into a trend, that's probably why you will always hear me playing a lot of unknown stuff. After traveling to Mexico last year, a lot of Spanish vocals made it into my sets. So this specific mix probably takes you to Mexico's HiNRG club Patrick Miller but in this universe they would play so much more tunes with Spanish vocals and freaky Mandarin or Ex-Yugoslavian tunes.

Anything exciting planned this year?

Hendrik & I, we’re constantly looking for adventure. We just put together a small tour in Italy where we will travel from north to south within 10 days. I can’t imagine a year without seeing Bella Italia. Going to play Bellafesta Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day is definitely huge. Also we started planning an Asia tour, it will be most likely towards the end of the year.

What can we expect from Avec Plaisir Records in the near future?

In the very near future we’ll put out a stunning piece of adult listening music — the Crazy Temple LP — which was produced by five young Austrian guys around 1980. You wouldn’t believe they were not even of legal age when they recorded it but their music immediately spoke to me when I first listened to it four years ago. We’re bringing a beautiful selection of their songs plus three own re-edit versions on the flip side coming out by the end of March. We’ve had a long break after putting out the Stefan Egger Sound Station EP and didn’t quite know how to approach new projects, as tracking down rights-holders can be really exhausting. We had lots of ideas but literally no chance to clear the rights. But after stepping out of the shadow we will keep it rolling this year and AP 003 is already on the best way to get released in early summer as well. It’s gonna be a contemporary one by a young combo called “Suncream” from Munich. Working with them has been exciting so far and we can’t wait to see how it will be received by the music scene.
Thanks guys!

OKMIX Vol. 30 - Frinda Di Lanco

Wonderfully Japan-loaded MFI 32 by music-lover PHONON, who's part of @communityvibes. 

He was recommended to Music for Indoors by @internationalb who was responsible for the great MFI 20 in our series! www.soundcloud.com/ecoutesauvert/music-for-indoors-20-international-bauer-konstanz

While PHONON's main interest lies in the early House sounds that once lit up Chicago and New York, he’s also always on the hunt for lesser-known records of different (brain-)danceable genres. 

This mix is the result of amazing hours @jan-abekrfcce spent in Japanese record shops during which Phonon mainly rummaged through boxes of domestic productions from the 80s and 90s.

Here some words from him, MFI / EAV asked him to share:

"I grew up in Singen (southwest Germany near the Swiss border) to the sounds of the Flamenco and Brazilian Guitar as well as Jazz - my father was a guitar and music teacher. I learned to play the trumpet and the drums (nowadays I turn to Synths and Drum machines.)  I have a thing for synth - Early Roland Pad sounds are my favorites.

In the context of music I like to research and understand historical contexts and roots and I try to translate that into my mixes. I started my collection with late 1980s House Music, loads of which I found when I studied & lived in NYC. 

I also lived in Milan for some years and return to Italy more than once a year. After that, I was in Leipzig. When traveling, I always try to find and bring back some special records, which might not be easily found back home."

Phonon lives nowadays in Berlin since 2019, although he travels and works remotely a lot. He has put up nights and DJed at Paloma, Beate Uwe and Bars. He also plays in Freiburg, Konstanz and countries where he spends time traveling/working remotely like in Italy, the US and Japan.

Paradise Mirage is a series of events and radio appearances that he organizes, dedicated to the early days of clubbing in the spirit of NYC and Chicago. www.paradise-mirage.com

"CYBERG PEOPLE" GUEST MIX by HARA KATSIKI (Berlin)

previously posted on Dream Chimney... a bunch of 80's smooth, oddball balearic gems from across the globe...

JAZ's Greatest HIts (pt. 2 - mellow)

The mix was recorded after our one-off Bionda e Lupo live concert on occasion of the best NDW album of the past 25 years - La Deutsche Vita.
https://www.soundmetaphors.com/release/27396942/Bionda-E-Lupo-La-Deutsche-Vita
For my closing set I took over from Riccardi Schola, who graced our premiere by playing Tränen In Der Nacht four times that night. -  According to him due to the fact that he was confused by the 4 sides of the new record and not at all due to the Spritz he was enjoying with relish throughout the night.
BTW Riccardi's very own and second solo EP will be out soon on a private press 7" sparkling with two Italo songs.
My selection I played from vinyl however is all over Europe and Canada. - Although ... I can sense a certain French touch of mid 80's synth pop before I shift the energy to my obscure Neue Deutsche Welle edits.
I remember the elevating feeling to see one of my favorite DJ's Cid Hohner, dancing with his unmatched smile on his face during the last 30 minutes of this night.

Message to those who follow in our wake:
DON'T FALL FOR THE LATEST TREND! You'd actively destroy culture! BE WHAT YOU ARE - HUMAN! Not a generic bot!
