A selection of Electro/Italo tracks that got me into DJing in the first place. I remember at the time funding my record buying habit by making tapes for school mates and charging them 50p for each import single and 25p for each British one. How else was teenage schoolboy going to afford all those exotic records he was falling in love with listening to pirate radio!
I've also stuck a couple of contemporary tracks in the mix that wear their electro influences firmly on their sleeves for comparison. Really enjoyed putting this one together. J x
n.b. One of the tracks included is The Beat Club's Security, the first single signed to Rob Gretton's (former New Order manager) Rob's Records, the label one half of the Disco Outcasts (Sefano) was signed to for many years. Reason I mention it, I'm guesting at the Disco Outcasts Halloween special on October 31st. If you fancy a trip to Manchester that weekend it's sure to be stormer.
