Theme From Verona featured some of the best superclassifica visuale from Cassavetes yet - until sadly the projector packed in a couple of hours from the finale! was fabulous to see so many new faces this week dancing on until closing time; hey, and look out for a Sabrina Salerno speciale from Benetti for September 4th!

CANZONE DEL GIORNO #7
Casco - Cybernetic Love (6:10)in a year of so much absolutely vintage Italo music, 1983, this song by DJ/producer Salvatore Cusato captures the moment with a perfect synthesis of romantic scifi lyrics, some truly gorgeous vocal harmonies, and a disco beat that will be danceable for centuries to come

CANZONE DEL GIORNO #5
Barry Mason - Body! (Get Your Body) (disco version) (7:45)if you are an avid musical archaeologist like myself, you are looking at one of the most remarkable records in the history of modern dance music - the 'disco version' of this 1983 (yes, 1983!!) release by the singer of the better known Italo outfit Camaro's Gang seems to be the original blueprint for the Chicago house and acid sound; much credit has been given elsewhere to other artists for the extraordinary trademark filtering of the Roland TB303, but this is where the revolution really begins; add to that the melancholy bluesy piano riff and the lyrics themselves and it becomes inconceivable that early house pioneers like Marshall Jefferson and DJ Pierre hadn't been heavily influenced by this incredible song - Italo disco has never been given enough credit within electronic dance music history and it's time to change that
ITALOBLACK AGOSTO 7
Molte grazie a tutti! The first italoBLACK night last Thursday in Edinburgh was a marvellous night and the busiest one ever at the venue so far - thanks to everyone who came and look forward to seeing you all again this Thursday! Cassavetes and I have much more planned for this week and in the future! Ciao ciao!
