Franz Scala is one of the most striking examples of the Italian musical class and culture exported to Germany. Founder of the mystical Slow Motion label, his sets and productions are imbued with nostalgic and dreamy new wave atmospheres mixed with those Italo Dance grooves and psychedelics that make it unique in its kind. In his curriculum we find wonderful eps released on fantastic labels such as Bordello in Paris, Cocktail d'amore, Tusk Wax and many others. For years he has lived in Berlin, where he organizes important events such as Wrong Era, Italian Dance Wave and Italorama at the Panorama Bar, Magic Waves or the New Dance Fantasy Festival. In addition to this in collaboration with Sameheads, you can often find it at Griessmuhle and Salon zur Wilden Renate. Exclusively for Tropical Animals, he gives us this wonderful podcast full of rare and beautiful musical pearls.
