“Dante” is a strong advocate for the modern iterations of Italo. Colourful, intelligent and eccentric, it represents Loose Fit's sound of positively uplifting synth work.

The A1. Dante provides an anthemic homage to late nights at the disco. Nostalgic, gritty and packed full of emotion, Radondo demonstrates his penchant for 80s synths and ear-worm melodies. Whereas 'Dante' deals with heady euphoria, 'Dust' was cut to settle the score on the dance floor. The ominous bass and processed drums provide a siren call to the ranks of Dark disco.  Flip over to the B-side, and you can find two Italo heavyweights on remix duty. Whereas Franz Scala delivers a bold and driven club cut with "Dust", Jex Brings back the funk with his playful rendition of "Dante", each idiosyncratic and hella effective in their own right. 

Outside of his work under the Radondo moniker, Jimmy Horton is not a man to rest on his laurels. Between time spent composing film scores, running his event night "Tropical Popsicle '', and recording with his band "Truths'', he has managed to find time to move to Berlin and launch his solo project. Lining up 3 EPs for 2022, an appearance on Berlin's infamous Hor radio and support from some of Italo finest, he's already paved the way for a solid year ahead of him.

Pour ce numéro 140, @franz-scala nous a fait le plaisir de nous transmettre son set enregistré au @palomabar de Berlin le 14 mars 2024.
Les sets de Franz Scala sont aussi variés que la musique qu'il propose en tant que directeur du label @slow-motion-records : entre danse italienne, disco psychédélique et proto house. Et en plus de produire sur son propre label, il est sorti des productions sur @bordelloaparigi, @bahnsteig23, @justtusk, @mechatronicamusic ou @cocktail-damore et tout récemment il s'est associé à son collègue de Slow Motion, @mammarella pour créer le duo Sesto Senso.

Playlist en cours.

Franz Scala | Foutoir Moderne #140

Franz Scala stands as one of Italy's most compelling electronic music visionaries, carving out a
distinctive sonic territory that bridges the gap between nostalgic Italo disco reverence and
forward-thinking club sensibilities. With his roots deeply embedded in the rich tradition of Italian
electronic music, Scala has emerged as a vital voice in the contemporary underground scene.
He delivers "In The Basement" guest mix, a carefully curated mix that showcases his
exceptional ability to weave together diverse electronic textures into a cohesive underground
narrative. The mix serves as both a showcase of his curatorial vision and a window into the
sounds that inspire his own productions.

Slow Motion Records label head and Italo visionary Franz Scala releases his next single Fase
Lunare (Feat. Acid Gymnastics) in the lead up to his forthcoming LP ‘Cafe Futuro’, a homage to
the late night establishment of the same name. Capturing Sunset Boulevard twilight hues Scala

seamlessly with Scala's vibrant Italo groove, creating a snapshot of the unforgettable moments
shared at Cafe Futuro.

PREMIERE: Franz Scala - Fase Lunare (Feat. Acid Gymnastics) [Slow Motion / K7]

We are thrilled to welcome My Secret Playground to our Guest Mix Series.

The project of Berlin-based producer Florian Herzberg, My Secret Playground is a sonic love letter to his hometown of Vienna—a city of grand contradictions, where old-world grandeur meets a spirit of both optimism and melancholic standstill.

In this exclusive mix, Herzberg masterfully bridges these worlds, channeling the tension into a compelling, contemporary Indie Dance sound. He seamlessly blends the raw, rolling energy of aggressive beats with the expansive, emotional sweep of broad synths and strings. Pounding kick drums provide a modern foundation for nostalgic vocal lines and classic vocoders, effortlessly launching a quintessential 80s sensibility into the present day.

Enjoy listening!

Green Fingers Present : My Secret Playground

Buy ltd. hand-stamped 12" vinyl & digital EP: mechatronica.bandcamp.com/album/mechatronica-white-2

2nd release in the limited vinyl White series dedicated to sounds across synth, new wave, EBM, italo and electro, comes in the form of a split EP by Danish producer Nixxon and Italian dance wave wizard Franz Scala.

Nixxon's gloomy, cosmic electro slow-roller opens Mechatronica White 2, followed by the heavier sounds of West, driven by razor-sharp synth stabs, voodoo percussion and a colossal bassline to boot.

On the flip, Franz Scala meshes italo, acid and spacey synth grooves into two effective anthems for the floor, destined to move bodies and transport minds.

Piccadilly records review:
"Mmmm yeah, it's time for another MMDISCOS, this time featuring the stellar selections and edit expertise of Franz Scala. Not only is Franz one of the biggest Italo DJs in the game, he's the owner of the excellent Slow Motion imprint, which stands alongside the likes of Red Laser and Bordello A Parigi at the top of the nuovo Italo tree. 
We're in electrifying Italo territory right from the off here as Franz works his magic on Electra's "Are You Automatic", a midtempo mover whose camp vocal examines cybernetic affairs while the chugging sequences and detailed percussion powers on below. Neon-tinged and stiff with hairspray, this high drama heater should move your floor from the warm up to the peak time perfectly. Over on the B1, Franz freaks GJ Lunghi's "Acapulco Nights", drawing every ounce of drama out of the resort-Italo classic. Building up from a majestic bassline, the track grooves through sparkling sequences, sci-fi stabs and swelling pads, peaking with a murmured vocal and big pianos - Italo perfection if you ask me. Not content with flooding your pleasure centres with "Acapulco Nights" Franz takes on Wish Keys' "The One You Love", stripping back the vocals, upping the tempo a little and letting those outrageous instrumental elements come to the fore. Sustained pads, jazz-meets-Italo bass synth and sublime sax take you there, then the uber-80's Cocaine in Rimini romance crashes in like a wave. Italo for the Balearic crowd!

Piccadilly records Staff comments:
Patrick says: Massive Italo edits from the Slow Motion label head. Stepping away from those slamming 4/4 heaters the techno DJs love to drop, this is resort Italo for the Balearic crowd - all end of season melancholy until the next bump arrives. In the bag!"

GJ Lunghi - Acapulco Nights (Franz Scala Edit)
