Slow Fire Disco Machine is the alias behind Andrea Carassai and Giacomo Fiorani. Their friendship behind the decks started as Polyphonic, then became quickly something different giving birth to Slow Fire Disco Machine, an entity exploring sounds from the world with no restriction of genre, with eyes (and ears) to groove and good vibes.
When they're not digging or djing, SFDM is busy running  a YouTube Channel where they upload their finds & edits and curating the "Espresso" monthly show on Rocket Radio Milano, where they often invite friends from all over the world.
For the lovely crew of AlterDisco they crafted a 90 minutes journey under the sign of sound-wideness, from downtempo delights to dancing stuff, including some unreleased edits never played before!

INTERVIEW WITH SFDM

Q: How did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

Hello boys, thanks for having us! Usually when we prepare a regular mix (with no "theme" or such) we try to be as wide as possible in terms of genre. we like our mixes to be something fluid and natural , evolving from track to track into a different mood or kind of sound,  from downtempo to uptempo (and sometimes back)
So our scheme usually is like this: we choose a bunch or records to create the spine of the mix and then adjust by substituting or adding other tracks until we reach the point when we enjoy playing it without having the feel "oh i miss something here". 
We are happy with the final result of this mix , hope listeners will enjoy the ride too!

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

We have a  strong bond with a lot of records we play, some have a story, many others don't. Most of the time is about feelings that records is capable of  giving to us. This mix has the peculiarity of containing few finds from "quarantine online digging" which is something we could never imagine to experience in our like (i mean the quarantine part). One of these special one is Madeleine Uzho - Satisfied. no better medicine to cheer up a day of lockdown that finding a good record like that for cheap.

Q: Do you have a special digging process and/or what kind of things do you look for in a record when you’re out digging?

We have no science behind this, when we go crate digging we try to look for different elements  that catches our attention like label, musicians involved, date, sometimes just artwork or logo. the step after is searching for a reference on YT or SC in case there's no record player at disposal (we do enjoy a lot flea markets so sometimes is just blind buying!). Online things are easier because of search filters : )

Q: Is there a record, that has continued to be in your wantlist over the years?

There are a lot of records always in the wantlist. first one i recall is  Unique - Sankofa

Q: Music bonds people together. Any local heros/parties you would like to shout out? 

We would like to shout out to all the nice guys and crews in Milan we've met along the road, especially Eternal Love, Luca from Rocket Radio and the crew of Polifonic for inviting us to play in their festival, unfortunately postponed to covid. we were so happy to be invited to play there, but who knows, maybe in the future we will! ; )

Hallooo Mix Series No. 5 – Slow Fire Disco Machine

Very Happy to welcome israeli super talented dj and producer @eladomusica to join our mix series.

He'll delight your ears for an hour of great jams from his motherland and beyond!

more about ELADO:

His name has been synonymous with Disco, breaks, rare grooves and edits throughout the Tel Aviv nightlife for 2 decades now, and while he’s been collecting vinyl for almost 30 years, 2020's lock down mentality has been the first time he’s turned his hand to producing, with fantastic results and great reactions.

His debut 45 on Berlin's Red Motorbike is just a taster to what promises to be a spectacular 2021 for this experienced selector/producer. Top notch releases are already lined up on labels such as Razorntape, G.A.M.M, Secret Squirrel and Bonfido, along with support from Antal, Folamour, Jkriv and many more.
