IN LOVE WE TRUST - SANDINISTA (Roller Skate Mix)

'It is important to understand that a critque of our homosexual present is not an attack on what many people routinely name as lesbian or gay but, instead, an appraisal of how queerness is still forming, or in many crucial ways formless.'
 - jose esteban muñoz, queerness as horizon (from Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity)

demo composition for  'shaking habits: an exploration of collaborative production, positioning and praxes of self-proclaimed female or 'feminist' electronic music producers'

produced in conjunction with/ as part of my MA thesis research for Freie Universität Berlin.

Somali Sounds from Mogadishu to Djibouti (Selected by Nicolas Sheikholeslami & Vik Sohonie)

"The Soft-Core Diaries"
Buttons resident Paolo Di Nola is undoubtedly one of Berlin's best deejays.  Di Nola helped bring the house sound to Rome in the late 80s, and that vibrant energy is still very much prevalent. @theloveandtrustcollective

Radio Buttons #9 - Paolo Di Nola

For the 47th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome Berlin’s Paolo Di Nola! Paolo, a.k.a. Cosmic Metal Mother started his music career as founder and DJ of the seminal Italian club "Devotion" in 1987. Paolo, who is currently a Buttons resident, has a unique sound that reflects early House and Techno, the psychedelia of left-field Disco and Soul and the uncommon moods of Soft-Rock and the Kosmische sound. Enjoy!

Honcho Podcast Series 47 - Paolo Di Nola

Performed at 'Queer Noise Fest', Fylkingen, Stockholm
