Baldelli & Dionogi – Cosmicdiba 2007 (12″)

094_label-a

Release: 21 May 2007
Cat#: Gomma 094

DJ BALDELLI is back! The inventor of the Italian COSMIC DISCO STYLE is definitely on the roll again. DJing in all the good clubs around the world (especially in Japan of course) and producing new, fresh stuff that makes most of all the other recent SPACEDISCO stuff seem insignificant.
Here is his second EP for Gomma. The first one made it into the “Top Ten of the Year” charts in magazines like GROOVE Germany and of many DJs.

Here is the follow-up: Already played by DJs such as SHIT ROBOT, TOMBOY and of course Italian DJ No. 1 Claudio Coccoluto. Baldelli’s new one consists of a banging, sequencer disco peak time track and two dirty & downtempo spacetracks. All sounding completely fresh, using the classic techniques but creating totally new sounding dancetracks.

Tracklist:
A) Dark Flies
B1) Funkfibrilla
B2) Dyprion
