@hysteric <3 do you put extra delay or its an edit?

MM CAST 04: Franz Scala

From his studio at the (infamous) berliner club "Sameheads" , Franz Scala has been building with years a great reputation on the contemporary "Italo-Dance-scene", being the mind behind 2 essential labels as "Slow Motion" and "Wrong Era". Artists like "Fabrizio Mammarella", "Francisco" or "Rodion", to name a few, have been rising as a part of the Italian family that Scala has created with "Slow Motion".

Imprints as "Bordello A Parigi", "Tusk Wax", "Bahnsteig 23" or "MM Discos" have had the pleasure of hosting the Italian maestro, signing there remarkable records. Italian dance highly influenced by new wave, obscure synths and a little balearic touch.

We are very happy to have Franz for the 4th episode of our monthly "MM Casts", doing what he knows best, and inviting us to a space oddity thru wave, synth pop and of course...italo disco baby ;)

Alex (Thevery) and Georg (Wedel) met many years ago while DJing at a mutual friends party and discovered there was another essential thing they had in common: their love for Italo-Disco. 
For Mothball FM they have created a classic all-sexy Italo mix that includes a few well known tracks but also some lost gems.

selezione mps #004 – Hysteric

This mix was made on request from the legandary Danish DJ Kjeld Tolstrup (R.I.P.) He worked at the Danish National Radio back in 2008 and wanted a wider audience to discover and learn about italo disco. I followed his request and made this italo tribute mix to honor the legendary italo artists and to share my italo passion to the new generation of today. This mix included most of my personal italo top favorits – no obscure records this time. So this mix represent a good example of the early italo sound which got me into italo back in the early 80s. It was played several times at the Danish National Radio which means that at least 500.000 listeners got this ultimate introduction to italo disco!

FLEMMING DALUM - Italo Classix

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

Next up in our mix series is Automaticamore (Diana Chan McNally): Toronto’s authority on esoteric Italo/Disco/New Beat/Synth-Pop, & purveyor of weirdy dance-floor capers at her LJ residency ‘Body Heat’. Diana holds down several nights here and afar and can be found carting her eye-watering rarities from spot to spot to share live with lucky punters in Canada, Euro-land and South of the border. 

Here she transports us to a misty Montreal disco playing Canadian tracks/rare Canuck pressings exclusif. It’s a hook-down/off the ground twinkling piano lift-off, into cronky Quebecois sleaze, riding the slap bass into that gitchy-ya-ya goblin voiceover. The cowbell/laser/buzzsaw party invites sensuous saxaphone narration to the function and caps it off with a vocoded appeal to sway. 

Descend the narrow stairway and bathe in the fog machine fumes…

-xx We miss you all big-time and can’t wait for the next Body Heat. Love to one and all from everyone @ the Small Jerry.

FEBRUARY 2021 - MIXED BY AUTOMATICAMORE

Mattoni Pazzi is here to build up and to break down – for hype moments and for shy times. For those seeking and for those who don't try. Trapped in polarities on common ground, we're living a fool's freedom while sticking to an undefined plan.

Stay tuned, stay pazzi!
