The Legendary 1979 Orchestra - Big Man Dub [LSR-013D] Junodownload exclusive (112kbps)

It’s with mixed feelings I have worked on this year’s edition of the ongoing Discoholics Anonymous series. Two artists that were on my list since year one can never do me the honor of gracing this series with their immense talent and love for music. In March the devastating news of Andy Williams (Yam Who?’s) death shocked the tightly knit Disco community at it’s very foundation. Suddenly one of the brightest reflections in the disco ball’s multi-facets turned dark forever. 

In November Stephen Richards left our realm and joined Andy in the lounge with Donna Summer, The Gibb brothers, Sylvester, Dan Hartman, Loleatta Holloway, Larry Levan, Walter Gibbons and all the other stars of the disco realm. I would have loved to share a mutual experience of bringing the joy of their art to you guys, and making this cumbersome world a tad more palatable. 

I am forever grateful to the funkateers who very generously gave their art for me to share with you this year. From Greece came Dim Zach, From Italy came Lup Ino, from Ireland came Dexter Jones, From New Zealand came The Loneliest Hunk, from England came Ben Banjo Field, Fray Bentos, Chewy Rubs and Ben Jamin, from Germany came FINAL DJS and Dee-Bunk, from Austria came Tunesmith, and from France came DoctorSoul. All with hundreds of years of artistry between them, tens of thousands of hours of DJing between them, all with a mutual mission: To make you feel the vibes of the weekend, liberty, love and unity through their music. Music with I get to give to you and thus mark another incredible year for Discoholics Anonymous.

I shan’t go into numbers or boring details about demographics and plays, suffice to say that Discoholics Anonymous more than ever plays a very central part in many people’s way of finding cool music on the internet. If I could gather you all in one place no major city in this world would be able to carry the pressure it would genrerate. I quite like the idea of that, and hope that the happiness we all derive from this style of music can somehow impact the cosmic field of love and energy that binds us all together as people in the end. 

You guys are what drives me to keep on writing reviews, sharing premieres, releasing the tracks I personally fall in love with , and curate with Martin and Mauro on Hot To The Touch, which now airs in three countries in Europe: Greece, Ireland and England. Thanks to Yiannis from Prime Radio for still airing the show in prime time every Friday, thanks to Cole Kutz from Opentempo for airing it at 12AM so that the continental funkers can dig the vibes during daytime there and for always plugging us on his own amazing Friday night shenanigans on Opentempo. Also a big thanks to the good people on NDC Radio who make us sound good across the UK and for making the show 4 minutes longer, every week. That’s a lot more Disco than most people think if you add up the minutes!

Thanks to my wife Rebecca for letting me stay in the disco liar, The Disco Waltons, Pete Ellison & Greg Middleton from Feel Good Friday for letting me be substitute teacher every now and then, Igor Gonya for sticking by me with premieres both ways and good and honest advice and occasional drinks across the world, all the labels and artists who submitted premieres for discoanon.com over the year. It’s been incredible to be able to give you such an insane amount of the freshest and whackest tracks in the world. To the more then 1900 people who’ve supported me through kind donations on Bandcamp and PayPal. You are directly the people who make it possible for me to keep on delivering quality content every week, every month, every year since 2019. My heart is humble and I’m so grateful to be able to keep this going for 6 years now and to be able to see it still growing and finding new engagements across the planet. 

THANK YOU! 

SEE YOU IN 2026.

Patrizia Pellegrino - Automaticamore (Diamond Setter Edit)

Italo Deviance (real name Marcello Giordani) began his artistic journey in the
1990s in Italy, during the height of the House Music phenomenon. He was an
avid attendee of record fairs, always on the hunt for USA-style Disco vinyl,
amassing an extensive collection. He also performed at some of Italy’s best
parties, such as Cocoricò, Echoes, Matis, Kinki and more.

In the early 2000s, he developed a passion for and began collecting Italo
Disco vinyl, often for just a few cents. In 2008, he founded a blog called Italo
Deviance with the mission of promoting the most obscure tracks and
versions of early 1980s Italian dance music.

From 2011 to 2023, he became part of the duo Marvin & Guy, which has
since evolved into Circle Point Circle. At the start of 2024, Marcello resumed
work on his label, Italo Deviance Music, embarking on a rebranding effort.
This new phase explores underground electronic music without sticking to a
specific genre, discovering and producing talented artists in both digital and
vinyl formats. He places no particular emphasis on their social media hype,
focusing solely on the music.

This philosophy gave rise to the motto:
“Italo Deviance, where only the music matters.”
