Flemming Dalum - Italo Classix

Flemming Dalum's expertly crafted "Italo Classix" mix straddles the line between DJ set and megamix, briefly visiting the essence of nearly every above-par Italo Disco track from the genre's heyday. Although it's packed with hits, he thankfully sticks to the relatively edgy songs that have the most longevity, steering mostly clear of the guilty-pleasure, overt pop and Hi-NRG side of Italo that would sound dated and jarring in a modern set. With 100 tracks in 80 minutes, it's the best mix of '08, for sure. Original post and link to the mix are at http://djhistory.com/forum/showthread.php?p=411156 http://djhistory.com/forum/flemming-dalum-italo-classix-100-tracks-in-80-min

Magic Waves posted an interesting interview of Flemming Dalum, probably one of very few people in the world with nearly every Italo Disco record ever made.



He's also posted another set recently: The Dark Side of Italo: http://www.djhistory.com/forum/showthread.php?p=416708 http://djhistory.com/forum/flemming-dalum-the-dark-side-of-italo. This one is shorter but is mostly instrumental, built from Italo loops, plus effects.
