Jussi sees the essence of disco as a soiled mattress you have passed out on in a cellar in Marrakech, a mattress infested with fungal growths born of insects and bodily fluids. As you lay there half unconscious, microscopic tentacles emerge from textures below and pore into the folds of your flesh, squirming up into your brain. Irreversibly perverted you will then rise, hungry for unsafe and strange music.
 
Jussi is part of the Overfitting Disco dj collective, explorers in the further regions of the disco experience. He has played the sound f. ex. in Tokyo (Knock Koenji), Detroit (UFO Factory, Paris (Le Nouveau Casino, Le Java), Berlin (Arkaoda), Barcelona (the Glove parties) and at the infamous Camp Cosmic events. @jussikantonen

H.A.N.D. MIX 026 - Jussi Kantonen

For my closing set I took over from Riccardi Schola, who graced our premiere by playing Tränen In Der Nacht four times that night. -  According to him due to the fact that he was confused by the 4 sides of the new record and not at all due to the Spritz he was enjoying with relish throughout the night.
BTW Riccardi's very own and second solo EP will be out soon on a private press 7" sparkling with two Italo songs.
My selection I played from vinyl however is all over Europe and Canada. - Although ... I can sense a certain French touch of mid 80's synth pop before I shift the energy to my obscure Neue Deutsche Welle edits.
I remember the elevating feeling to see one of my favorite DJ's Cid Hohner, dancing with his unmatched smile on his face during the last 30 minutes of this night.

Message to those who follow in our wake:
DON'T FALL FOR THE LATEST TREND! You'd actively destroy culture! BE WHAT YOU ARE - HUMAN! Not a generic bot!

Next up with magic mix number seventy nine is Danny Bodega @beaton-4

An aussie now based out of London he's runs Gazebo Records which has just reissued and pressed the great Fuemana – New Urban Polynesian album to vinyl for the first time. Go check it if you haven't already.
Elsewhere he's popped up with mixes on Skylab Radio, Under The Apricot Tree and Sanctuary and now he lands here with 'a dog's breakfast' - his own words  ;)

Far from that it's a crisp concoction of cruisers perfect for a sunny evening. Enjoy :)

✨ vinyl only mix✨  

For edition 69 of our guest mix series, we welcome once again London-based record collector Ilan (Night City Life). A true Italo enthusiast, Ilan curated Night City Life (@spacetalkmusic), one of our favourite compilations of 2019. Night City Life II will be dropping this summer (and we can’t wait 🎷)

As a DJ his selections are always rich with nostalgia and emotion, taking us on a journey through time and sound. Here is a recording of his vinyl-only set from Flow Festival last year; an Italo-tinged expedition in the Helsinki sunshine.
