The year is 1983, everywhere tension is rising and talks of cold war had begun. Ronald Reagan and Yuri Andropov launched a dick-measuring contest in the form of nuclear missiles, big dicks i must add. Michael Jackson meets Tina Turner for drinks at the Caesars Palace and decided: fuck this shit, let’s pretend they’re not here. Let’s call all our grownup friends.

As a result, great music was born that year. Music that goes on setting the tone for the rest of 80s; a golden era for hip, pop, rock, and everything in between; and the world became harmonious, and more in-tune.

Almost a true story.

Nora Alanbar was also born that year, a small star in her own big big world. She just turned 40 like many of you out there, except she inspired this mix. True story.

—————————

The set features some of the most iconic music stars: Michael Jackson, Irene Cara, Prince, Laura Branigan, Queen, Sade, Lionel Richie, Shannon, The Police, Tina Turner, SOS Band, Ace of Base.

I hope you enjoy it, as much as i did curating, editing, and recording it.

Silvio’s journey began behind the scenes of some of the region’s most acclaimed concerts, as he toured at a young age alongside legendary artists such as Roger Water, Scorpions, Pavarotti, Montserrat Caballé, and Fairuz. His passion for storytelling led him to study Film & Theatre, where he went on to produce award-winning films—projects deeply rooted in original music scores.

Based in Tulum on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, Silvio has crafted a distinct sound: a seductive fusion of Deep Afro House, infused with elements of Indie Dance and Melodic House.

In recent years, he has shared the decks with artists like Lee Burridge, Oliver Koletzki, Lemurian, Mihai Pol, Just Emma, Aaron Sevilla, Chambord, WAFF, Mahmut Orhan, Moblack, and Space Motion. Recent performances include sets in Tulum, Mexico City, São Paulo, Miami, and Riyadh.

Silvio doesnt just play music—he scores journeys. Each set he plays, is a cinematic experience.
