Volant Records proudly presents the most daring album of the year—
THE PLAYBOY GALA, the Valentine showcase that transformed Silvio “Silver” Nicastro from a rising crooner into a mesmerist of midnight audiences.

Recorded immediately after his now-legendary 1960 Gala performance, this album preserves the full breadth of Silvio’s charm:
the sly fables, the forbidden metaphors, the hypnotic rhythms, and the sensual crooner elegance that made women swoon and made powerful men shift in their seats.

On the surface, Nicastro sings of Valentine myths, woodland heart-hunters, runaway rabbits, enchanted keys, dancing owls, and countdown nights.
But beneath the gloss, every song holds a secret—
a subtle warning, a coded truth, or a quiet rebellion against the forces pulling the strings of desire in high society.

With a voice dipped in midnight and a smile shaped like a dare,
Silvio performs twelve unforgettable numbers that redefine what a crooner can be.

This is the night he almost got away with everything.

---

Following Nicastro’s mysterious death in 1964,
The Playboy Gala gained an almost mythic reputation.

Fans now speak of hidden meanings in every track,
of whispers Silvio buried inside fables,
of coded warnings slipped into dance numbers that the elites didn’t notice.

This remastered edition honors his legacy—
a man who charmed the world,
told the truth through metaphor,
and played the devil’s advocate with a wink.

Silvio “Silver” Nicastro remains a legend not because he survived the night—
but because the night could never silence him.

🎛️ Un pionnier des séquenceurs

Aymeric Auffray compose depuis 1991, époque où il utilisait déjà les premiers séquenceurs Cubase et Logic Audio sur Atari ST. Artisan du son, il a traversé trois décennies d’évolution technologique, des disquettes aux home studios, sans jamais perdre l’essence de son style : une musique à la fois mélodique, introspective et dansante.
