BBC Radio One Residency Ep. 2 - 'Italo'

Another recording from one of the wonderful nights during my Asia tour recently, this time Savage in Hanoi!

Not my first time playing at Savage, can it be the fifth time? If you search Soundcloud, you may find recordings dating back as far as to 2016.

Skatebård at Savage Hanoi, April 2023

You might describe Cormac as a late bloomer. Or he might describe himself that way. Though he's been in the dance music game for a long time—a regular at Trash and Nag Nag Nag, and a resident and booker at the old Sunday WetYourSelf! parties at fabric—it's only more recently that he's come into a sound that he can call his own, something that connects more clearly with who he is. (These days, you're more likely to find him closing Panorama Bar.)

That sound is rooted in the queer history so important to him. You could call his <i>RA</i> Podcast hi-NRG, to be general. It's that vibrant, pounding, melodic and synthetic sound that came out of the post-disco early '80s, combining the flair of disco with the strut of Italo. There's new and old here, because Cormac is a champion of evolving iterations of the genre. Over this two and a half hours, you'll hear Patrick Cowley and Madonna, but also a whole lot of other, less obvious stuff too. We could go on, but Cormac explains himself pretty eloquently in the interview below. Two hot tips: watch out for his label, Polari Records, and his upcoming Queerly Beloved podcast series, where he talks to queer artists about their relationships with music.

A clash of two Italo heads for the first time in five years. Ended up mostly playing Italo throughout. Sorry about the occasional sound issues due to faulty cables. @skatebard or me for track ID.

Perel @ The Lot Radio 07-27-2023

A 4,5 hours long recording, mixed through Jaeger's Alpha Recording System mixer and isolators. 
Even with the natural volume increasement that happens on a club night, from seated audience in the start, to a crowded dance floor.

Enjoy!
