Following the successful slow tempo masterpiece "Just A Moment" by Liquid Mask, we have here another chill Italodisco treasure called "Dancing" by La Troupe, originally released in 1984 via Drums Edizioni. Urgently worthy of a reissue the tracks are fully remastered from the original master tape, courtesy of Gero Merella.
The Italian Fuzz Dance! Just said almost everything about the global dance music scene. One of the most prominent labels to connect the old Continent to the new Continent. For many top players it is considered the blueprint of Italo-disco, for many others the beginning of the House sound. Some of the records on its catalogue are merely timeless and in the history forever. And "Plastic Love" is definitely one of those.
Italian finest cosmic disco from the genius of no other than Dodias, superb drummer, former member of Gli Idoli the very first band of Lucio Dalla, and cowriters of few of his early songs. Essential!!!
"Disco Fashion" is certainly one of the rarest, obscure and mysterious record ever produced in Italy. At the same time one of the most experimental and psychedelic recording mixed in a classic disco style. The author is unknown; his name doesn't tell us anything or anyone we can associate to him. The musicians were most probably turnists (amazing turnists I mean) with fantasy names. The name "Electric Machine" was used only for this project as far as we know, as well as for the label. The founder of the publishing company who licensed the reissue passed away and the family carrying on the business is not aware of any stories behind this project. What better occasion to loose yourself to the listening of this incredible find?
Official reissue handled by Strictly Groove for the new Italian imprint Erezioni. Erezioni is a sub-label of Omaggio dedicated to Italian Disco music.
"I Like Sado Music" is a gem released by Blitz Records in 1980 among other overlooked records of electronic disco, library music and soundtracks. "I Like Sado Music" is also the only record ever sung by Sandy Samuel, the artist name of Daniela Samueli a prolific and very famous porn actress of that period.
