Italorator is a bi-monthly journey into the brighter side of the 80’s on Operator radio. I will play mainly classics I deeply love, but there will be also room for contemporary productions in the same spirit.

Italorator w/ Marsman [Episode 7]

Recorded 3rd December 2013 for XLR8R Podcast episode 324, XLR8R said at the time:

The calendar only flipped to December a few days ago, but it seems that much of the music world has already begun to set its sights on the end of the year. More specifically, everyone seems to be looking back at the last 11 months and evaluating what pieces of music were amongst the year’s best. XLR8R is no different, and when our list of 2013’s best releases surfaces during the next few weeks, there’s little question that Amygadla, the long-awaited sophomore LP from DJ Koze, will make the cut. It’s been a big year for the veteran German producer, which is why we thought he would be an excellent candidate to put together the final XLR8R podcast of 2013. Over the past decade, DJ Koze has built up a reputation as a sort of lovable oddball, and this exclusive mix will do nothing to contradict that image. Much like his own work, the podcast is loosely rooted in house and techno, but its 70-plus minutes of music also reaffirm that Koze isn’t someone who’s afraid to color outside the lines. Armed with a playful spirit and a genuine sense of humor, Koze seems as comfortable dropping esoteric spoken word and bizarre outtakes from Marvin Gaye as he does stringing together warm slices of rich, organic house music. Oh yeah, he also manages to slip in a couple of conscious hip-hop tracks along the way. In short, it’s not the average podcast, but it’s not like we expected something “normal” with DJ Koze at the helm.

Some words by Xpresso Martina:

"First of all thank you again for the invite, I’m super happy to be on italorator! It’s probably my favourite mix series at the moment.

Initially I tried to exclusively pick tacks that hadn't been featured on italorator before but I certainly missed some. In the end I went for a selection that best reflects my personal taste and appreciation for the genre, including some of my all time favorites and new found gems. Besides Italo I ventured into adjacent genres like early acid house and new beat but kept the overall vibe seductive and sleazy, just how I like it. I have been waiting for a chance to open a set with Einzelhaft by Falco (from one of the best albums ever made, no doubt) and this seemed like a worthy occasion."

DISCHI presents Intermezzo Tre, the third chapter in its Intermezzo series, a poetic reflection of the label's ever-shifting identity and musical journey. Carefully curated by label boss Jen Cardini, this compilation draws together a constellation of artists—both familiar and new—spanning from Paris to Berlin, New York, and beyond, weaving their distinct voices into a coherent narrative.
Intermezzo Tre blends the pulsating force of EBM, techno and trance with the softer, dreamlike threads of ambient and downtempo. It unfolds like a sonic tapestry, intricate yet fluid, offering a journey through sound that is both grounded in the dancefloor and free to explore uncharted territories. In Intermezzo Tre, the label’s essence is both honored and reimagined, creating a vivid portrait of where DISCHI stands, and where it dares to go next.
