Synth Soundtrack is a re-work of Sick Soundtrack (EXIT 905LP, 2021), the first album by Gaznevada, the legendary new wave no wave rock dance punk band of the '70s-80s. The Sick Soundtrack multitrack no longer exists, it was lost many years ago: no multitrack no remixes. And, in fact, Synth Soundtrack is not a remix. No possibility of removing or correcting sounds, synthesizers, rhythms, it was only possible to add. Basically, today's Gaznevada played together with original Gaznevada. A time machine jam session. A kind of techno-musical psychoanalysis. Synth Soundtrack moves away from Sick Soundtrack to take its own original path. Was there ever anyone in the history of rock whoever did something like this? Hmm... Oh... So... Maybe... No... No, definitely not. Nobody.

Reissue of Confusional Quartet's first album from 1980. Out of any classification of musical genre, Confusional Quartet is a distillation of the creativity and freedom of expression that in 1977 put Bologna at the center of the international cultural scene. Confusional Quartet is one of the most recognized Italian bands in the so-called new wave era, a period ranging from the late seventies to the mid-eighties. Formed in 1978, they had quite enthusiastic consent during their activity, playing a mixture of instrumental, avant-garde, experimental rock. This record places the Confusional Quartet in the history of Italian alternative music. Personnel: Lucio Ardito - bass; Gianni Cuoghi - drums; Enrico Serotti - guitar; Marco Bertoni - keyboards; Oderso - producer. 180 gram vinyl.

The end of the 1970s was a historical period of great social and cultural tensions and changes, the Gaznevada band was formed within this context. Their first recordings are collected in a K7 simply titled Gaznevada. Recognized by critics as the first publication of Italian punk rock, this production is a "time window" open to this historical period, it records intact the ingenuity and contradictions, but also expresses its creativity and energy. Originally released in 1979, the K7 Gaznevada, for the first time, is now reissued on vinyl.

Italian Records strikes again with another retro-futuristic step through its kult '80s catalog. In the late '70s Gaznevada was one of the most relevant Italian post-punk bands from the Italian underground scene. In 1982, with "I.C. Love Affair," Gaznevada moved from post-punk to new wave synthpop; this tune is, without any doubt, a work of proto-house disco, and an anthem in the most important clubs all over the world. This special release includes reconstructions by I-Robots and Giangi Cappai, the already well-known Munk Edit, and finally and officially the David DePino edit.

The new release on Italian Records is a real Italo-Disco Cult: Funky Is On. Originally released on Third Label in 1984 by Funky Family: producer Nicola Nicolosi and vocalist Dora Carofiglio, just before their massive pop hits with Novecento. There are two '80s original tracks on the A-side, while on the B-side there is a brilliant remix by Italian legendary DJs Leo Mas and Fabrice that is perfect for more dark room house venues. That, along with a new, pumping kick & bass vocal edit by DJ Rocca (aka Luca Roccatagliati), makes this release unmissable.

The second release from the Italian Records label from artist/producer Lineki is a deep journey into the synth-wave dimension, featuring an intense Italo-disco bass line with a magnificent vintage atmosphere quite distinctive of the '80s. On the "Retro Version Mix," an Italo-style electric piano interwoven with different synths creates intense an joyous emotions, alternating with a more sinuous and experimental bass that's still charming no matter what. Female vocalist J'Adore makes this sweet, sensual and simply perfect. On production and mixing, Lineki chose his long-time friend, Colinsky.

This is the first release for the new phase of the classic Italian Records label, home in the '80s to a lot of seminal stuff by cult bands like Gaznevada, Stupid Set, N.O.I.A., Kirlian Camera and Confusional Quartet. Who better than two Italian DJ legends such as Leo Mas and Fabrice for this joint venture that goes back to the times of Italo disco and high-energy? Leo and Fabrice devastate the mix with Generation 83's "Bellissimo," a club track that keeps the old-skool spirit alive while speaking the language of contemporary dance music.
