Rodion – Romantic Jet Dance (CD)

Release: 17 September 2007
Cat#: Gomma 103 CD

Rodion is from Rome. He makes freaked out Italo Disco that’s ahead of its time. Somewhere between the depths of Lindström and the synthesizer funk of Justice, mixed with the dramatic melodies of Italian horror movies. Heavily influenced by the Japanese science fiction animation soundtracks of the 70’s and the cosmic music culture, Rodion is fully tuned into the extraterrestrial beat.

Real name Ed Cianfannelli; Rodion has a very interesting past. Once a scholar at a famous Catholic music school, he was heralded as the prodigy piano student of his generation, declared as a genius, his career path as the church organist was predicted and expected. He was their great hope. BUT, after a night out with friends, Mr Cianfannelli discovered electronic music and was soon hooked on the Italian nightlife. Inevitably the church hierarchy found out about his weekly rave escapades and were left with no choice but to ask him to leave.

On his new life path Rodion quickly snapped up some equipment from an old Italian house producer and started to combine his classical training with his new disco inspirations. The result is this unique, extremely emotional electronic Weirdo-Disco. (We call it Casio C.o.r.e.)

Unlike many of his peers, Rodion performs live with a band and the crowd euphorically received his recent live performances in Clubs in Paris, Berlin and London.

Tracklist:
1) Fisico
2) Electric Soca
3) Via Lactea
4) Luna Dark
5) Bilancia Blu
6) Love (Part 1 & 2)
7) Tokyo Deca Dance
8) J Bunker
9) Dolce Futbole
10) Donq
11) Romantic Jet Dance
12) Atala Ride
13) Tu Mi Turbi
14) MS Dildo
15) Rubber Duck
