Bandido’s Gang – Dance With Bandido’s Gang [CD012]

Ostensibly one of Italo Disco’s great lost producers, we suspect that Bandido’s Gang may well be a nom de plume for one of the label’s many associates. Whatever their provenance, the tracks certainly sound like vintage Italo, with ”Marinche” leading with a pulsating bass arpeggio and synth horn melody worthy of Moroder, whilst the Flemming Dalum & Steen Gjerulff remix adds layers of vocoder and a variety of cosmic accents to its sturdy frame. ”Last Train to Tucamari” meanwhile takes a more languid approach, pulling in an opposite direction to the speeding train samples, whilst Flemming Dalum & Mike Salta’s remix adds some guitar licks, hazy synth atmospherics and even a flute solo which just adds to the classic Italo feel.

David Vunk – Bowie EP [MST019]

https://i0.wp.com/imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS459189-01A-MED.jpg

In his dark analog Moustache Records homestudio downtown Rotterdam city David Vunk made his ”Bowie ep”. This energizing ep contains 3 various styled tracks for the dancefloor. On the this side the track ”Forever Always” a stunning filter house tune with a vocal that goes on and on, a fat party break and rolling low kickdrums topped with some crazy hihat programming. On the that side two tracks. A notorious full power hi energy nu-disco/electro track filled with evil strings, catchy melody, tr-808 drums and arp odyssey baseline madness called ”Disco Sysex”. The b2 track called ”Vroezenpark” sounds like it comes straight from hell, a dusty techno track with Berlin infleunces, tr-909 drums and a Roland jupiter 8 synth. Insane and paranoia style. This very limited pressing comes with luxury gatefold fullcolour sleeve, poster and hand numbered, limited copies..

Grand Prix – Mach 1 [SF67987]

Reissue for this super-rare space funk album from 1983, one of the holy grails of the Cosmic scene. Extremely expensive and hard-to-find in the original, this LP was created by legendary French producers Jean-Pierre Massiera and Bernard Torelli (listed here as Areisam and Bernie) and released on French label Savoir Faire. It is a superb example of the duos innovative electronic disco madness, always pushing boundaries while remaining supremely funky. Stand-outtracks are the Italo classic “Challenger” – heady synths, tough bass and astronaut vocals combine in a strange space odyssey, “Cruisin”, a superb electro-boogie style cut with a hypnotic driving bassline, and the fantastic “On The Border”, a tight funky percussive workout whipped by wild space-rock guitars.

After 25 years Bordello A Parigi offers you these mid-80’s italo-disco-bangers on vinyl again. Three old killer releases transformed in one reissue. The three course menu contains the two 1985 hard hittin’ D. Carred obscurities and continues with this spicey hidden gem ‘I’ll Go Where I Like To Go’ from Rambles, which was D. Carred’s first production on vinyl in 1984. On top of this sunny mountain of an Italian pie you’ll get two extra remixes of ‘You’ll Be A Winner’ by the Danish crème de la crème of italo: Flemming Dalum and Mike Salta.
