Coming from the North of France, eclectic music lover Brieuc took out the decks and recorded an 1h+ long mix full of Italo bangers for that first episode. Turn the volume up and let yourself drown in the heat.

Tuning in from Paris, you can find on Beck’s soundcloud some really cool mix, each one telling a different story with it’s own theme and visual. For this our long recording, he delivered an hypnotic story blending in some 80’s uplifting melodies with more recent productions just like we like them. Thank you for fueling the heat !! 🔥

Emilia is everywhere, some say she is actually several people, some say she is not real and and actually a myth. Most of the time she can be found turning up the heat in Nantes (FR) through @spazialespazialespaziale, allowing people to dance like no one is watching. On top of that, she is also half of « Vilains personnages » with @antoni_pierrotti. Maybe you saw her early in the night spreading some Italo vibes, but you can also find her again closing the party at 8 am as @militsa_moja. And all of these people are actually the same person…. or… are they ? 

For Italo heat she crafted a dark mix but shed some italo light into that darkness, a little tip for you : you want to listen to that last song. 

Thanks a lot!

Winter may have finally come here in Europe, but today we are warming up our hearts with a real Italo disco set from the railway rider @stefan_burne. He is offering us a true old school set, with cheesy vocals and greasy basslines to remind everyone where it all came from. Half of Club Z1Z1 with his partner in crime Vikail, they are DJing all around France and beyond. Organizing their own events, they recently invited Krystal Klear or DJ-dance-around aka Toni. Stefan is tirelessly spreading the Italo love just like a priest spreading the good word to lost tribes, and we love it! Thanks so much for this very cool set ! Catch Club Z1Z1 this saturday in Lyon at @terminalclub, as part of a very cool line-up curated by Mélopée records 🔥 🚂

#08 - Stefan Burne (Club Z1Z1)

For this 9th episode of Italo heat we are finally crossing the pond, and not only, because we are flying all the way to the west coast. Coming from San Francisco, Mike & Chris are sharing the Italo vibe with the local crowds, being frequent visitors of @monarchsf amongst others. 2 DJ's, 4 hands, 1 set, and only good tunes, that's what you will find in this set. Thanks a lot for sharing !

Today we are sheltering ourselves from the storm with a super cozy mix from @lecoutelier aka the Swiss army knife! Part of the crew of @boudoirmoderne, he is also sharing his artworks & record collection on @ disastro.discoteca, and it seems like he also has time to record a very cool set for us. Through this journey shaped with different melodies of Italo & indie dance , you will also spot voice extracts of 3 different documentaries around Italo Disco giving it a super warm & chill vibe like you would be driving that car slowly in the night desert :  « Distant Planet: The Six Chapters of Simona »  the latest ARTE documentary "Italo disco, the sparkling sound of the 80's") and a last piece of movie called Italo legacy.

Thanks so much for this very cool and original vibe !! Keep it slicing

Today it’s with a massive pleasure that I'm welcoming Radondo on Italo heat and trust me, #13 isn't a sign of back luck there. Through a continuous strong bassline, this mix will make you travel between different sonorities of Italo and dark disco inspirations. Based in Berlin, where he moved from the UK, he was just a few weeks ago visiting HOR again to share a strong and progressive set like he does very well. Being quite a productive artist, you can find him crafting very solid tracks when he is not playing DJ sets around the German capital. Paying visits to Sisiphos or also the big house of Renate, last year. He released his projects “Dystopia” in 2019 on @fucanglong_files and “Dante” in 2022 on @loosefitrecords (including remixes from Franz scala & Jex Opolis). You can also find him on @ritmofatale (Fatale recall 6 which is an edit of “Mon coeur qui craque”) and a feature on “Sailors of wrong era vol.1” with Slow motion records. I’m not gonna lie, just writing all of this down made me question my own productivity… ;) Thanks so much for sharing your universe !

#13 - Radondo

Sometimes we may forget, because it almost vanished as quickly as it came, but we spent a lot of time in doubt and uncertainty during the hard times of lockdown. This is when the French duo Neowise decide to isolate themselves in the countryside and focus on music, leading to the birth of their first EP on Nein records in 2021. This first release crystallized their desire to reconcile the 80’s music with the underground techno of the present day. Since then they have been quite active both in producing; with releases on @ullarecords @quixoticalrecords or  @midnight_people. Within Neowise’s style you will find influences from rock music, or SF movies soundtracks, to create a unique melting pot. For this 14th set of the Italo Heat series they cooked us a a smooth and shiny set with a touch of darkness, perfect for a friday that will lead to a friday night… Thanks so much for sharing ! PS : if i were you I would listen until the end for that unreleased track!

Sharing from Colombia, @galopemessier is offering us an energetic and lively mix for this friday, fusing his different inspirations together.

Did you know that Ansonica was a type of wine grapes growing in Tuscany ? Well, I didn't, but what I knew was that @_ansonica_ is a very cool Italian DJ based in Berlin! Co-founder of @cosmic.circuit.bln with @eclectic.elektra she can be found sharing her happy vibe across the city, adding her energy and her touch to the scene. For this set she cooked us a mix of genres that made her think of "sexy & hot vibes", gradually turning up the heat as the mix goes on. A true story is developed here, using different inspirations but all centered around a main theme. Every song in this selection will make you feel like in the middle of a heatwave during a summer night (you know, the ones where you can walk barefoot and even the concrete is still warm). Thanks so much for sharing your universe!! 🔥

PS : the last Cosmic circuit event was not later than last week-end and the line-up was very very cool so if I were you I would follow and check out what's coming next!!

On top of that she is the mom of @bakery.agency, has her own show on @disco.suicide and is also part of the crew at @laroomrcrds. Did I mention  she was very active in the scene ??

Co-founder, booker, and programmer of the rising @chateaufloor festival, Nico brings the heat to the Valence region where he is based. For this episode he is sharing some mighty tracks, drifting to the dark side as he enjoys it.

[PREMIERE] Mattyuzalem - It's gonna be ok

As we approach the second birthday of Italo Heat, it felt like the right occasion to invite myself on my own platform and release my first solo mix. I'm really happy about how this set captures my latest inspirations. Italo Heat has always been a platform that is running away from being put in boxes, and this is a statement of what dazzling records mean to me these days. A story of varying temperatures and relentless bangers, writing itself in my endless quest for a light in the darkness.

Heat shifts

Even in the darkest hours, there is always a light somewhere.

Operating from the international & vibrant Amsterdam, Italo heat is a platform & label aiming to break down borders and bring people together, no matter in which space or time frame they live in. 

Focusing on the bright side of music, Italo Heat and running away from being put in boxes, if you like it, play it. 

Let's share some dazzling records into the darkness ✨.
