Maurizio Arredo - MIXAGE (Library Music Selection)

Ciao a tutti,

and welcome to my mix for June and my sweet spot: Italo Disco.

As some might know already I'm deep into Italo Disco for quite some time. It all started by cruising in Marcus tuned Opel Corsa from his brother blasting 'Boys' from Sabrina, me cringing about it in the first place but slowly and surely falling into love with Italo.

For this mix I tried to pick some of my favourite Italo Disco tracks (at least the ones I own 😅) that would fit into what I call 'Italo Disco Classics'. So unfortunately no Sabrina but watch out, there's more to come. 

Now, freely after Mario Mangiarano: 'Listen me tonight!'


Shout-outs to:

Marcus (@narcoticmarcus) the Eastern German Italo godfather of my generation. Gauf!
James (@casionova) and @magicwaves for the parties in Loftus Hall, the Magic Waves Festivals in Griessmühle and for bringing the heat 24/7 through the interwebs on intergalactic.fm
@hysteric (@mothball-record) for digging, sharing and releasing the most delicious gems out there

We all love Italo for the quirky, raffish and sometimes rather obscure tidbits. I tried to compile some favorite, yet still underplayed tunes, that deserve to receive more recognition. Of course, YOU might recognize some tracks and even not deem them to be scarce or unheard, but try to relax and revel in the sonic spaghetti hyperspace 🛸

FLEMMING DALUM - Discoteca podcast 15

Live at Tutti (Nijmegen, NL 27-04-19)

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.

IM #47 MIX : AUTOMATICAMORE + Interview

Italo Deviance aka Marcello Giordani is one of the key figures of the blooming Italian Disco scene. Being a producer, Dj and collector of rare Italo-Disco vinyls, he is on the very front of the exploding Disco movement in Europe with his “Italo Deviance” Blog and Label.
Marcello started djing back in 1992 when starting what would have been the golden age of the House Music scene.
He began playing in clubs nearby his town and at 20 become resident-dj of the historic Italian party called "Les Folies the Pigalle" which at the time was one of the points of reference for the National dance music and this allows him to have a high visibility and work in the best italian club's network. His vocation as a producer it's easy to feel and at 21 bought his first equipment and released a debut E.P.
Then he signed with labels like Dirt Crew, Players Paradise, Mule Musiq, Endless Flight. For more than a decade remains anchored to a pure "underground sound" and gives all importance to the music quality. His inspiration comes straight from the N.Y. Disco scene (Paradise Garage) an mid '80s Chicago House scene like Muzic Box and Warehouse but also from the early 80's Italo Disco and Cosmic.
Marcello also founded, back in 2008, an highly disco oriented blog called Italo Deviance and the self-named label.
After the blog success Marcello started djing in many places around the world (Tokyo, NY, Philadelphia, Helsinki, Oslo, London, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Athens and many more) he also works at prestigious events related to fashion brands and magazines as: MaxMara, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, D-Squared, Henrietta Ludgate, GQ Magazine.
