A wise man once said: “Make Italo Disco Great Again”.
His name was Guido Balboa.
 
After the huge success of Volume 1, played by the likes of Jennifer Cardini, Skatebard, Cormac, Horse Meat Disco and many more, Fauve Records thought it was time to put together Vol.2 for you. 
This time Romain FX, went and scouted more toward the young producers of today digging up artists from Brazil, Japan, France & UK.
 
With the full spectrum of Italo represented here, you have access to the “less is more” touch, to the fast & curious and even to the more boogie side of Italo. We would like to welcome newcomers: Yukio Nohara, Ticara, REES, Patxi & Pedro Bertho, Austher & special mention to Val-Air for his first original release and of course usual suspects Native Red & Romain FX on duty for some intricate take on Italo Disco.

PREMIERE : Jordan Nocturne - Believe

They say music is a universal language. Does a nation babble when it is born? Can we ever truly come to terms with our own nativity? Titanic plates began to shift, leaving gulfs between the earthly bodies. Stars above couldn’t care less. The ode to joy has lost its conductor.

Awesome Orientalists From Europa have had enough of the cultural appropriation war. Israeli label head Gal and his Europe-homed crew are purveying a new politics of pure fusion, specialising in clubby edits of forgotten dance tracks sonically rooted in the east, but predominantly made in the west. Its third EP, led by Finnish producer Aaron Maple, cleverly marries the cold heart of European dance music with the warmth of Middle Eastern pop, and its references to traditional folk music. Tabla sits pretty atop high-nrg basslines, and lively Arabic vocals accompany a weighty Italo groove. This is Orientalist music by white musicians in reverence to, rather than ownership of, their heroes from Asia. All profits from the release will go to organisations that fight Islamophobia, antisemitism and racism in the West.
