Music: Ajello ft. Hard Ton - Chocolate Black Leather

Ajello has been around since the beginning of the actual "Italian" Italo Revival in the early 2000's and the good news is they are back with their second release on Danny Was A Drag King. Like the title didn't give it away, Chocolate Black Leather "is an orgy of vintage synths, bouncy bass and a sure winner for the Italo disco fans. To that one more touch of sleaze, Ajello enlisted "House Diva" Hard Ton to make that chocolate erupt. NYC "Disco Royalty" Brennan Green on the remix duties with just the right amount of 303 to send everything to "acid disco paradise". ACID DISCO PARADISE...we couldn't agree more.

Music: Ciao Bello Ciao Tiga!

It's official...Disco is taking over the Dance World again. I know we've been bloggin' and bloggin' about it since we started this little Blog of Bostoncentric Dance non-sense, but day after day more and more artist have started to embrace the inner disco-boogie in them. Last week we posted Soulwax's newest radio mix and Disco (cosmic & Italo) it was indeed. Not surprisingly, Soulwax is also responsible for most of Tiga's new Album which will also have major contribution (vocally) by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem/DFA fame. What I'm I really saying? I don't know but I feel like a freaking Disco Nostradamous. That's alright...we've got some surprises for you to download pretty soon. In the mean time enjoy Tiga's new single from his upcoming album "Ciao". Italo inspired? Mi sembra propio di si!!!

I guess anything is possible if you sprinkle some Cinecitta magic!!! Here's also another mix he nicely entitled: Space Lovers Come on Sunday (Lazy Sunday Mix)...Seriously, with a tittle like that, you'd think he'd read this blog.

Music: Italians do it Better but Bottin does it the Best...

For a label that claims that Italians do it Better, it was time they actually had an Italian on the Roster. DJ and Producer William Bottin hails from Venice a city that well...overflows with water a lot. In any case Bottin is joining the ranks of Chromatics and Glass Candy on the Italo Label du Jour. If you are into the whole Balearic/Cosmic Disco scene, you probably recognize his name from his recent appearance on the Cosmic Balearic Beats Vol. 1 compilation out now on Eskimo. The 3 part Vinyl sits nicely on my shelf thanks to Newbury comics (although I think they've still got some copies left) and Bottin's "Fondamente Nove" is one of the best tracks I've heard recently...simple bass and a fantastic progression. I guess Italians really do it better. In any case, in anticipation for "No Static" to be released on IDIB, here's a taste of the song and a mix brilliantly selected by Bottin himself. Enjoy...I'm off to make some Pasta alle Vongole.
