Escape Pods - a musical journey through the cosmos. 
Hosted by Ben Randm & Ralph Lawson 

Each episode a guest is offered an Escape Pod to leave our world behind. We ask them what music they’d put on their headphones as they; Blast Off, Experience Zero G, Flyby The Planets and make Final Contact before venturing on to discover Alien Worlds. We ask them to select a piece of music for our Escape Pods Platinum Disc and an experience of Planet Earth to take with them on their journey.

Escape Pods – Daniele Baldelli
Daniele Baldelli is best known as the creator of the Cosmic sound named after his DJ residency at the legendary Cosmic Club in Italy in the late 1970s. Baldelli’s story as a DJ began even earlier in the late 1960s at the Tana, Tabu and Baia Degli Angeli  clubs where he pioneered many DJing techniques independently of the more widely recognised New York disco scene. Perhaps the most unique technique he employed in his sets was to change the speed of records, mostly from 45rpm to 33rpm, to find songs that sounded entirely different for the Cosmic dance floor.
Daniele continues to be a prolific producer as he enters his sixth decade in music with a run of records under the Cosmic Temple name and continues to DJ in clubs and festivals worldwide…

DISCOTECA "BAIA DEGLI ANGELI" - Dj Daniele Baldelli   1977/78 (Vol 1)

Dj Daniele Baldelli Remember Baia Degli Angeli 2005

I decided to take this in a slightly different direction and lighten the tense feel of the original.
I wanted to give the vocals a bit more focus and put the horns to more use.
After much passing  between ideas I decided to combine and make them one.
What starts out as an old school hip hop joint moves into a crunchy reggae dancer.
There is a lot of original KJ recorded material in this rebuild (dudek, keys, drums, vibes, guitar, organ etc) as that's my style ;)
I had a blast working on this.

Daniele Baldelli - Cosmic Cassette Tape C23 - 1980

I remember I walked out of my cave. the snakes had been waiting for me outside, and I started to dance, full of cloudy innocence.

What is left. A walk through the same visions, indescribable and out of control as it seems . A vision within a vision.

This is an exploration.
