Hi and Welcome to ITALO MODERNI mixes

Ask for id! :)

Here they are again!  @therobotscientists   @somethingspaecial @emerald-and-doreen-rec

Part 1 of the mix is a vinyl-only mix by The Robot Scientists @therobotscientists featuring their favorite 1980s electro / electro funk classics. These have been influencing artists and music lovers worldwide, until today.

Part 2 of the mix is a live recording from the 1st of December 1984 from the CHIC nightclub that was located in the late 1970s until the late 1980s in their hometown Völklingen/Saar. The resident DJ’s name was Ronald Springer. He used to work mainly as engineer first at a pirate radio station on an mysterious island in the English Channel off the British coast, then at the BBC and later on in the Studio 54 in New York where he also started DJing before he came to live and work as DJ in the Saarland. 

He had great connections to record stores in Rotterdam - where he was born - and in Brussels. His club music selection was truly legendary. People say that apart from the Dorian Gray in Frankfurt, the CHIC was the best club in the whole South-West of Germany. Poppers, Wavers, New Romantics, sometimes even Punks showed up and had amazing nights together. Italo Disco acts like Den Harrow or Ago had live performances there, there were fashion shows and dance contests. The club featured an own restaurant and cinema and one of the largest lasers used for entertainment purposes back then in Germany. The Robot Scientists went there as teenagers and got highly electrified by Ronalds eclectic and quality-focused DJ style, hit-oriented, somewhere between Italo Disco, HiNRG, Synthpop, New Wave and EBM. Much later on, around 2008, Ronald and The Robot Scientists became close friends and they played some nights together in cocktail bars, icecream parlors and clubs in their hometown Saarbrücken. 

Unfortunately, Ronald Springer died very suddenly and far too early at the age of 63 the 3rd of March 2018. This live recording Ronald played vinyl with Thorens record players and used Reel2Reel Revox B77 to play edits and own remixes which you can also hear in a second mix that he made public in 2013. https://www.mixcloud.com/musicmaker/chic-live-djronald-s-december-1984-revox-b-77-reel43/

ITALO MODERNI label was born out of the passion and obsession for 80's Electro/Italo/New beat and new vanguard electronica. It is also a platform that encourages creativity and aims to uplift and inspire djs and diggers to produce eclectic and innovative sets.

The world of music is limitless and we are continually learning from each other by sharing and broadening our horizons.  Through the club scene, we seek to convey that underground and unique sound that electronica has at its best.  Our goal is to awaken the inner soul of that person who is looking for something different, in every sound he hears and makes him believe that there is something beyond the conventional.
