Sneaker DJ has released about 50 records of chicago, Italo and synth. His latest record is the upcoming first 12" on Mattoni Pazzi - a remix EP and collaboration with @scannoir : GOTT - Mutatio (https://soundcloud.com/mattonipazzi/sets/mps002-gott-mutatio). 

He shared with us his set from Cosmic Deluxe - a festival for disco diggers and left-of-center live acts; this summer held 50km East of Berlin towards the Polish border. The amazingly intimate and open festival was hosted by the lovely Wahid Paradis (@wahidsolh) and his friends (shout outs!). Cosmic Deluxe is deriving its spirit from Camp Cosmic  since it was invented by Albion in Sweden on the occasion of his birthday. 

"Returning to a Cosmic fest after last year's hiatus left me with one big question - what to play? The 7" collection didn't grow considerably in the last 2 years.
So I picked the records that grew accumulated since I played a darker set - well ... as Dunkeltier in 2016. Not particularly "Cosmic" either. But remarkably psychedelic - not only because of the Timothy Leary citations - and therefore in the Cosmic tradition in a wider sense. It's clashing here and there - the typical friction I accept, I am even seeking for in my sets ever since (or at least since the Disco Train is rolling on Rat Life 1 in 2013). Far from synced, generic patterns the mix is challenging you with disharmonic dubbing, dares to layer badly edited originals (comparable to disco records "without a click") and even entirely different metra. Not mentioning the hard to grasp sunless tunes before I blend into more celestial realms.

I don't offer a tracklist, but I wanna point you on two tunes by the fabulous label Moonwalk X - run by the equally genius and adored DJ turning head by shouting his name Cid Hohner (@cidhohner)."

Embryonic Soundwave 2- Music from the Black Lodge (A Tribute to David Lynch)

PODCAST 24 - UNDISCLOSED 1122 (PREMIERE).

Number 32 in the series is @nsaofficial, Justin and Steve, friends since high school who have forged a great reputation as both dj's and promoters, hosting their NSA parties in Edinburgh with amazing guests over the years. We love their style and reckon they're two of the best track selectors around. Check out this beauty of a mix and gain a glimpse into their world.

1) Introduce yourself? 

Scottish DJ’s & Promoters No Strings Attached aka Steve Cass & Justin Wilson.

2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?

We had a great 2016 settling back into Edinburgh’s underground scene. All the parties we put on have been fantastic for many different reasons but it was a pleasure to have Optimo play for us for the first time.

3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?

We had a longer break than expected this Winter so we will be picking up our bi-monthly NSA presents again in Edinburgh’s Mash House kicking of with A Love From Outer Space on March 10th which has already sold out.

In May we celebrate 22 years of our club night which has lasted a lot longer than either of us anticipated and we have put together a very special line up to mark the occasion with Andrew Weatherall & Ivan Smagghe back to back all night long.

We will also be playing at this years Alfresco Festival in Tunbridge wells with a whole host of great acts, starting our irregular club at Sneaky Pete’s which is a really cool small space which we hope will have a similar intensity to the early parties we put on. We will be doing something for the Edinburgh Festival and then bringing up a few new acts to NSA before the year is out.

IM #31 MIX : Luca dell'Orso

Hi and Welcome to ITALO MODERNI Mixes

We are so proud to have in interview one of our favorites italo djs, she is Diana Chan Mcnally @automatic-amore based in Toronto, Canada. It's time to meet her a little more with a good interview! Check it out!

Automaticamore in one word?

Fastidious.

What does ‘ITALO DISCO’’ mean for you?

Fun, funny, and fantastic.

Why did you choose ‘Automaticamore’’ as a name?

I didn’t! It was the name of my radio show, and then people started calling me DJ Automaticamore. Previously I was just DJ Diana McNally (I know – very dull).

Past or Future?

Both! A better future can only be informed by attention to the past, including all of its successes and faults.

What do you do apart from digging and being a DJ?

I am a community worker. I coordinate resources and opportunities for 51 drop-in centres in Toronto serving people experiencing homelessness. I also work frontline in one of these centres, and am an activist around issues of homelessness.

What are some of the current world issues you think about the most?

Envisioning a post-Capitalist world that is inclusive and humane. That society only exists through cooperation and an understanding of the collective good; yet, we are more divided than ever.

With all your passion and your fantastic YouTube channel, how did your first contact with Italo occur?

Through friends’ local DJ nights! I recall that they played Moroder, Alexander Robotnick, and Black Devil, as well as ‘newer’, Italo-influenced acts like Glass Candy.

Favorite channel from YouTube for digging Italo?

Moscu ION, just because it kind of isn’t curated, so you can dig around through an unsorted mass of Italo.

Favorite pizza?

Margherita, hands-down. But … Hawaiian pizza was invented in Canada, and I kind of like it! With added jalapenos.

Favorite vinyl?

Too hard to choose! Right now, Diviacchi - Waiting For Heaven. I come back to this record a lot, and it’s emotional and well-produced.

Most wanted record?

Right now? Tres – Smile on My Face. And … I never buy it, because it’s expensive and ridiculous, but Avenida 29 – It’s Pizza Time.

What is your process when creating a mix?

I usually will start with a mood or feeling, and I’ll fit together songs that somehow capture that feeling and play around with different records, in different orders, until it makes sense to me. Then I record myself playing live.

What was the first record you bought?

Madonna – The Immaculate Collection on cassette, no less.

Who was the first musician that influenced you? What other genres have influenced you?

Madonna, most definitely. I’m also influenced by New Wave, electro, post-punk, synthpop, freestyle, and Canadian disco.

Do you think the Italo world is dead?

Not while I’m alive, it isn’t!

What do you think about the new Italo producers?

I don’t know much about many of them, to be honest. It’s not because I actively dislike new music, I’m just busy digging through the 1980s!

Best Italo record labels from 80’s?

It’s not universally great, but I like FDT, an Il Discotto sublabel.  I also like Out Records, which is a sublabel of Discomagic, and very collectible.

New favorite track?

… as in new music? Again, I don’t know much, but I really like Mozaika – Drive. 

Any news regarding tours?

Not until there is some sense of what the impacts of COVID are! That said, I’m hoping to come to Europe next spring.

What did you want to express in this mix?

I just spent a week on the beach (albeit a Canadian beach), and so I wanted to capture that feeling of summer and sun. Also the beach I was on was clothing optional, and covered in booze, so there were many ridiculous and funny things happening. This mix hopefully reflects that humour.

Say something in italian!

“L'amore vince sempre.” It does.
