At 54 legendary jock Daniele Baldelli is the living proof that deejaying is all about personality – whatever the age – and not just the latest white-label. As legendary today as Larry Levan or Francis Grasso, this Italian luminary mixed electronic music to disco, funk and afro almost a decade before house music took over the world. Teaming up with Marco Dionigi, he delivers here a second EP for Gomma. The best of the three tracks on offer, ‘Dark Flies’ is contemporary italo-disco at its best (a hi-nrg bassline, ecstatic effects and a non-stopping groove), as fun and sexy as S-Express. For something different ‘Funkfibrilla’ and ‘Dyprion’ remind you quietly that clubs were not always strictly about up-tempo (think slo-mo Emperor Machine).
