CLAP RULES

Clap Rules - 123

🪩🐯🪩 Today we are very happy to have @franz-scala for the 16th episode of our Tiger Tapes series!

Franz Scala is the head of @slow-motion-records, an Italian dance label based in Berlin. Aside from producing on his own imprint, he has released on World Unknown, @bordelloaparigi, @bahnsteig23, @justtusk, @mechatronicamusic, @correspondant or @discodromo’s @cocktail-damore.
Franz sets are as diverse as the music he curates on Slow Motion. 
Weaving smoothly between Italian Dance, Proto House, Cosmic and Psychedelic Disco House, Franz quickly turns the dance floor into a vignette-tainted retro nostalgia rave fuelled only by his music.

Today he gifts us an hour and half of what he does best, the show is a live recording from a gig he did in the legendary KitKat Club in Berlin last January, enjoy!

PREMIERE: Trauma Eater — Don't You Wanna Touch Me (Franz Scala Remix) [Side UP Works]

Embark on a sonic journey with Tamati's 'Notte in Riviera EP' where each track serves as a testament to the vibrant Balearic influence coursing through the veins of the Adriatic Riviera.

From the gentle lapping of waves to the pulsating heartbeat of the dance floor, 'Tutto un Deja Vu' captures the essence of balmy summer evenings, inviting listeners to lose themselves in its irresistible groove.

Franz Scala’s sets are as diverse as the music he curates as label head of Slow Motion. Weaving smoothly between Italian Dance, Psychedelic Disco and Proto House, Franz quickly turns the dance floor into a vignette-tainted retro nostalgia rave fueled only by his music.

Mix of the Week #581: Franz Scala

It's time for another special: 
@slow-motion-records

In the 54th episode of my Italo Disco series on gds.fm, I present an insight into the discography of the label “Slow Motion Records.” The mix goes beyond the boundaries of classic Italo disco. However, its influences are clearly audible in the productions. The label has also contributed significantly to the Italo hype in Berlin. 

The label about itself:
Based between Chieti – Italy and Berlin, Slow Motion Records is a purveyor of the best Italian producers from London to Shanghai and New York to Milan. The label elevates the Italian dance music at all latitudes, whilst remaining true to the heritage and feels of the vibe that has filled dance floors for the last 30 years. This style has attracted producers around the world who have inherited the movement and made it their own, conceiving of Slow Motion international sister label Wrong Era.

Of course, it's impossible to cover the entire oeuvre of such a prolific label in just one hour. This selection offers a small glimpse into some of the songs that I personally like very much.

Check out the label for yourself:

INCOMING : Franz Scala - New Look (Feat. Furotica) #SlowMotion

Release date : 23/09/2025
BUY : https://slowmotionrecords.lnk.to/CafeFuturo

Accompanied by the illustrious Furotica, Franz Scala unveils “New Look”
another shimmering tribute to "Cafe Futuro," infused with shared Italo sleaze
and Scala's signature melodics. His chest-thumping bass lines resonate
alongside iridescent synth harmonies, delving deeper into the further reaches of his sound. The twilight-toned vocals and accompanying spoken words between Argentinian Furotica and Australian Pino D ́Angelo (Boots & Legs) dance with each other beautifully. Ultimately, it culminates in a thunderous dancefloor gem, embodying the Italian Dance Wave sound through Franz's unique proto vignette and Furotica’s dazzling charm.
