this 3 hours and 45 minute selection showcases 
musical blueprints of all rare Chicago and New York 
like the days of old mostly from the radio shows 
with disc jocks playing music mixes.

the 1st chapter is from the definitive days of 
house music from Traxx playing from the 
early 80s,90s and today from vintage and 
out of print  record labels trax, jes say and 
dancemania to multiple boyd jarvis and
timmy regisford productions but also 
material from Delroy Edwards, Steve Summers,
Modern Analysis and new material.

many thought this type of sound would never 
come again but we’ve been giving hints over 
the years that we hope this will give people 
the chance to listen to music many may have 
never heard on this side of sound that provides 
a provocative and thoughtful musical workout 
in your mind..

this musical timeline is literally all over the 
rhythm 🎵 scales ⚖️ with vinyl turntables.
a vintage mix console.effects box and cd players.

Italorator w/ Marsman [Episode 3]

Last month, WOEIFM invited me to play for their monthly show on @operator.radio. I took the opportunity to create a New Beat special because, as a New Beat lover, I've always wanted to do that! 

Belgian New Beat, often just called New Beat, was an underground subculture and music scene that thrived in Belgium during the 1980s and 1990s. It was especially prominent in Antwerp and Brussels, and eventually gained widespread popularity across Western Europe.


I also added some interview snippets from back in the day.

New Beat Special @ Operator - 26th June 2024

“An absolute honor to be invited on Marsman's ‘𝓘𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓸𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓' show. Had a lot of fun doing this mix, throwing in some oldies and goldies, and also a few prickly weirdies. Enjoy! “

Some words by Starborough:

"It was a big pleasure for me to play at Italorator! Like Marsman, I got hooked on italo and disco because of I-F's Cybernetic Broadcasting Station, that later turned into IntergalacticFM. Its influence on my musical taste can't be overstated. After being an avid listener, programming shows and doing a lot of work behind the scenes, I started making monthly deejay mixes for IFM some three years ago and haven't stopped since. For my Italorator mix I decided to focus on mid 80s italo songs that are heavy on synth action and drama. One to sing along to with clenched fists. I hope you enjoy listining as much as I liked mixing it up. Playing disco for the dancer, all ready for the sound!"

Facets - 4th October 2024

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."
