PLR SHOW 7 FEAT HANDS SOLO

Many Thanks to Hands Solo for his Paradise Loft Radio exclusive Mixtape. A little over half an hour of very tidy mixes and flowing selections recorded purely from record.

The tracks on this mix were produced in America minus Cheri (Canada) and Time Bandits (Holland). A little fact about Nu Shooz who were from Portland, Oregon was that they were a Husband and Wife Duo. Nu Shooz Struggled terribly to get radio air play on their single "I Can't Wait", off the album "Poolside". It fizzled on its first release but a copy found its way to Holland where a remix the *"Dutch Mix" by Peter Slaghuis was made and then exported to the US on the Dutch label, Injection. The remix was noticed by Atlantic records. They ended up getting signed to Atlantic in January 1986. "I Can't Wait" was produced in 1984.

Thankyou once again for listening in. Next week Miles G and Pony Boy will be back with plenty more soul sounds. Any questions or information you would like to share please feel free to contact us at olivercgraham(at)hotmail.com.

Stay smilin and see you on the dancefloor!

PLR ITALIANS OCCASIONALLY DO IT BETTER

 

Italians Occasionally Do It Better by Paradise Loft Radio on Mixcloud

Italo Disco was a genre that began in the late 1970’s and peaked in popularity during the 80’s. The unique Italo sound came from electronic keyboard synthesizers, mesmerising robotic drum patterns and melodic loops.

In it’s beginnings, it was a sound that was very unique in comparison to what was heard from the USA, UK and other parts of Europe at the time. This didn’t stop the style being embraced internationally, with Kano’s I’m Ready making it to number 21 on the US ‘Black Singles’ chart in 1981. The song was produced by Stefano Pulga and Luciano Ninzatti, two men who were largely responsible for the exported Italo sound. Many of their productions (including the Larry Levan remixed First True Love Affair by Jimmy Ross) featured heavily through the speakers of influential NYC nightclubs.

Patrick Cowley (Megatron Man) and Bobby Orlando (West End Girls) were two American producers who embraced the Italo sound in their music. In America, this sound was known as High NRG but the ties to Italo were undeniable. Cowley consolidated Americas interest in High NRG, and the scene in San Francisco acted as an incubator for the growth of this Italo influenced sub genre.

Italo Disco is a mysterious genre. The influence it silently had over music internationally, makes the lack of knowledge worldwide today very intriguing. When you listen you can see the umbrella bobbing in your cocktail glass or feel as though you are driving in a car chase, with the surging bass line propelling you along. For me Italo is full of imagery. It offers a direct time portal to the ‘perceived future’ in a positive light.

Please enjoy this selection in all its flamboyant, emotional, camp glory and pass it along. Give the gift of music, stay smiling and see you on the dance floor! Please note that not all of the songs on this mix are from Italy - going to show that Italians only occasionally do it better.
