The Italian Duo Club Paradiso come from diverse and ever-evolving music backgrounds, they started their collaborative project in 2016. Romagna, Adriatic Riviera, is what they call home and also the primal inspiration behind Club Paradiso. Their first album Esotica Erotica Psicotica on Mondo Groove, follows their acclaimed 2017 single Panoramica (MGCP 001EP), and is a wonderful patchwork of colors. Opener "Romagna Tropicale" transports Riviera to a tropical island, "Tuco" mixes arpeggiating lines with a western harmonica and a distant spoken, "Solo Tu" with the voice of Francesca Amati is a sensual, slo-mo synth-pop beauty, and "Echoes" a throbbing deep house number. The B side opens with "Flauto Cosmico", a killer Afro/cosmic track with a folky flute, "Okinawa" has the voice of Niconote, aka the legendary Nicoletta Magalotti of Violet Eves fame, and it's simply a memorable song with an eastern vibe in the music, "La Rabbia Saudita", with a special Daniele Baldelli and Marco Dionigi featuring, is half part Arabic and half part funky, and the closing track, "Mirage", is, yes, like a mirage. You can't miss this.

Italo-duo Club Paradiso come from Rimini, Adriatic Coast, and they bring forth the golden age of the spanking Riviera club culture. Traveling through time and space with synths and drum machines, they mix the past(a) and the future. Panoramica is a hypnotic and groovy journey that starts off with "Batongo", a tribal, exotic, and sweaty dancefloor banger. "Espresso Notte" is filled with organic house grooves, dreamy pads, and an endless synth. "Gulliver" and "Litoraneo" pick up from there and bring the sound scenario down heavy with '70s-'80s disco sounds and boogie.
