Fortunea Radioshow #146 // hosted by Klaus Benedek 2024-09-18

Artist - Red Rack’em
Title - Italo Disco Banger
Label - Bergerac
Cat No - BERG016
Format - Vinyl/Digital
Genre - Disco/House/Italo
Release Date - 13/09/24


THE BANGER IS BACK!

Red Rack’em returns with a surefire summer smash ‘Italo Disco Banger’ which immediately evokes the most euphoric festival vibes ever.

The feedback has been INSANE with Gerd Janson immediately responding ‘Sounds like a hit!’ and huge support from a wide range of artists including DJ Harvey, Crazy P, Roman Flugel, Luke Una, Leon Vynehall, Avalon Emerson, Jamie 3:26 and many more.

Early demos were road tested at Glastonbury and Love International and the response was a huge motivator to get Danny back in the studio to complete the record against the clock.

He’s been busy supporting other artists with his ‘How I Program’ Community which has become a fertile space for DJs and Producers across the world, with Artist Development and Masterclasses from some of the best Production talent out there.

So this record was an ‘unexpected surprise’ but a very welcome one.

Italo Disco Banger does what it says on the tin and more. Tailor made for Tisno and Adriatic vibes, from the first few bars of the heart tugging, eyes closed intro, you’re locked into a beautiful, sun kissed joyous ride. Of course there’s still some of that signature wonk simmering away in the background. Arpeggiating basslines, breathy vocals, cut up disco samples and hints of the trademark donky bass make for a heady, festival ready vibe. Stick this on and watch it work its magic.

Hotline is another party starter anthem. No soft B sides here. Taut Brit Funk esque guitars jangle away frenetically while a muscular groove rolls out. Occasional shades of deepness flicker in from the background but without losing the ecstasy vibes. A heads down filtered disco sub bass club wrecker.

Don’t call it a comeback ;)

Fiervo's Best Of 2024

 It’s a tradition that every time I’m in Sydney, I guest on Simon Caldwells LEGENDARY Monday night Sunset session on FBI Radio and it’s always a great experience.

On Monday night, I hit the hallowed decks at FBI and got to play some of my favourite records and we also had a good chat about my teaching work, my latest productions, streaming and of course our sold out event at Sydney Opera House this Saturday.

Shouts to Maddy for her rock solid producer work on the show too.

Simon has played a huge role in me playing in Australia over the years and this year, I was invited to play at Sydney Opera House at his legendary Mad Racket party as part of the legendary Vivid Sydney festival. I was gobsmacked.

What an honour!

Fortunea Radioshow #171 // hosted by Klaus Benedek 2025-09-03

Broadcasting on CHLY 101.7 FM every Thursday night 8-10PM PST.
Sometimes playing live shows, occasionally hosting dance and music events, often outdoors.

Things I have been known to say*
 - Good music should be played over and over and over again
 - If it sounds Disco, it's Disco
 - Stick the DJ back up in the roof or in a dark corner somewhere
 - I'm just up there twisting buttons & pressing knobs playing other people's music

*Disclosure: all things said are likely borrowed, stolen or influenced by other individuals who will not be disclosed here due to privacy concerns.

Klaus Benedek grew up in a small town near Vienna. His interest in electronic music began during the 90s techno hype. He spent hours watching video clips on MTV and viva and thus gaining knowledge about electronic music. In 2004, he began teaching himself to produce. Gathering his inspiration wherever he could, he began collecting 12" vinyl records the same year and 2 years later got his first dj-gigs. From 2008 till 2010 he was one of the resident DJs at the MNML Thursdays in the Camera Club. In 2012 he started with Alex Kolodziej the event-series Tellerbetrieb. Currently he finds most of his inspiration in Chicago House, Deep House, Disco and Breakbeat. After releases on labels like Petrol Dollar, Subversaal, rekooda, Soul Shift Music, Clean and Dirty Recordings and tanzbar, Klaus launched his own label forTunea in 2014.

Danny Berman aka Red Rack'em is described by Juno Records as 'one of the most respected figures in UK underground house circles'. Creator of classics 'Wonky Bassline Disco Banger' (hammered by DJ Harvey, Moodymann and even Elton John), 'In Love Again', 'How I Program', 'Kalimba', 'Tomato Pope', he's also a much loved broadcaster working with SWU.FM, Rinse FM, WWFM and NTS and guest spots on BBC Radio 1 for Pete Tong, Mistajam and Gilles Peterson. He's been even more busy during the pandemic supporting other artists with his 'How I Program' music producer community.

Since returning to the UK (after 8 years in Berlin), he's been releasing killer records like 'Wonky Techno Banger', 'Overthinking' and his Red Baron collab with Ron Basejam from Crazy P (huge support from Gerd Janson, Avalon Emerson and more), as well as undertaking huge tours of USA, India and Asia playing at clubs like Tag in Chengdu (Chinas Berghain), Rhonda in LA (one of the hottest pan sexual parties in the US) and Smart Bar in Chicago.

He's a super adaptable DJ, just as comfortable playing blazing disco boogie at Pickle Factory in London, deep house at TV Lounge in Detroit or raw swingy techno at Mothers Finest in Berlin.

Passar da pista de dança para a cabine do DJ foi um caminho natural para Fiervo (AKA Fernando Iervolino). Sua paixão por música e pela noite o fez trocar as pistas paulistanas pelos clubs Europeus. Estudou na Academy Of Contemporary Music, em Londres, e trouxe na bagagem – além de muitos discos – sets que investem nas variações da house, nos novos caminhos da disco, em música eletrônica com gostinho underground. Seu som moderno e sofisticado o levou a se apresentar na versão brasileira do Creamfields Festival, após ficar em primeiro lugar no concurso de novos talentos da revista Mixmag. A mesma publicação o incluiu em sua seção “DJs para se ficar de olho”, em uma de suas edições. Outros festivais no currículo de Fiervo são o Popload Gig, onde fez a abertura para o show da banda inglesa Metronomy e a versão brasileira do The Creators Project. Também passou por clubs como D-Edge, Vegas e Bar Secreto, onde atualmente organiza a festa Mezcla, projeto mensal que toca junto do DJ Fabio Spavieri. No final de 2011, Fiervo foi eleito como uma das revelações musicais do ano pela revista eletrônica Burn. Além das discotecagens, Fiervo mantém seu blog (www.fiervo.com), espaço onde fala sobre as músicas que ama e entrevista gente de quem é fã: Kim Ann Foxman (Hercules & Love Affair), Midnight Magic (NY), Julian Sanza (2020 Soundsystem)… Atualmente, Fiervo também tem se dedicado a produção musical e trabalha em faixas próprias.
