B.W.H. – Stop 4 Remixes [HM1007]

”Stop” is the emblem of Italo-Disco par excellence even if in 1983 it was inserted by Carlo Favilli and Stefano Zito on the B-side of the 12”of the nascent label House of Music. However, the song, although recorded in a hurry and with evident sound defects, is the perfect example of the musical genre that was developing in Italy in those very early 80s. Now, four decades later, Stop 4 Remixes breathes new life into the cult classic with four dynamic reworks. Woody Bianchi delivers a masterclass in mixing with ‘Pushed Up’ while Danilo Braca (aka Danyb) offers two deep, expansive edits tailored for discerning dancefloors. Dirtyelements & Drunkdrivers bring the fire with their ‘Acid Re-Solution Remix’ that’s full of passion, precision and some nice wild energy. These are great tributes to a track that helped launch the Italo-disco movement into orbit.

B.W.H. – Livin’ Up / Stop [HM1001/R]

An essential part of the European disco history… “Livin’ Up” and “Stop” by B.W.H., these two tracks are true ‘milestones’ and Italo-Disco in the purest form. B.W.H is Stefano Zito (aka Black Way), Stefano Galante, and the late Carlo Favilli, “Stop” is dubbed “the best B-side ever!”, but “Livin’ Up” is also incredible, making this vinyl the hottest 12″ ever assembled in the Italo Domain and for decades incredibly underrated.
