Mixtape: Classic Baldelli Cosmic Mixtapes

DJ Baldelli is a legend. He is the king of Cosmic Music. The special deep version of disco that ruled in the southern part of Europe in the late 70ies: A mix of trancy, spacy disco instrumentals with folky and psychedelic sounds. Cosmic was a statement against the cheap Italo Disco fashion. Here are some of his great live mixes from back in the day:
