Thanx for sharing this. So many gems here.

@user-186638643: That one is Federico Troiani – Non Ne Posso Piu.

This collection of smooth and funky Italian yacht rock and AOR begun a few years ago when I acquired a number of records from an Italian-Australian collector. Most of the records were on major Italian labels such as CGD, Polydor and RCA Italiana and dated back to the late 70s and early 80s. They would have been filed under Italo pop, soft rock or singer-songwriter back in the day. Although some veered close to schmaltzy MOR, they often had one or two groove-based tracks that embraced the popular flavours of the era. These cuts took a smoother R&B approach, incorporating genres such as funk, soul, disco, jazz and Latin music. Mellow electric piano, syncopated guitars, tropical percussion, twitchy bass lines, sleazy saxophones and killer grooves intersected with the melodramatic and lush songwriting characteristic of Italian pop music. So, sit back and enjoy 90 minutes’ worth of warm and sophisticated balearic grooves from Italy.

About Giorgio :
Italian electronic music producer, keyboards player and selector, born in Naples while the Holy Trinity was Maradona, Pino Daniele and Massimo Troisi. Well at least in the city.

After growing up playing keyboards and piano in several jazz-funk and fusion bands in the clubs and bars of Naples, in 2015 he moves to Geneva where he falls in love with the underground club scene and starts DJing around while working on music production.

After years of experimenting, in 2020 he puts together his first album "Palinuro Phonebox", which gets released by Horisontal Mambo, a label run by the Norwegian DJ Prins Thomas, who also remixes 3 tracks from the album for an EP released on Internasjonal Norway in 2021.

In 2022 "Chalet Miseno", an ideal follow up to his first album, gets released on Horisontal Mambo.

Brooklyn based Edit guru, top DJ, multi-instrumentalist, and label-owner @jkriv has recorded something really special....

"2018 was a turning point in my 20-year love affair with Brasilian music, starting with the release of my reworks compilation Férias ’77 on Razor-N-Tape, and culminating in my recent trip to the Mareh Festival. Aside from being one of the gig highlights of my career - on a boat full of joyful dancers - the whole experience really deepened my feeling for the unique culture and music of Brasil. I came home buzzing, and ran this mix off in one shot without much planning, using some vinyl, some digital, some edits, and some originals. I hope that joy comes through in the music!"
