A snippet from my other musical life - as an editor of AudioPorn Central - this is huge, so it needs to be posted here as well...
Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor for us to introduce a high-octane collaboration between AudioPorn Central and one of the most interesting labels on the sizzling disco and nu-disco scene: MB Disco.
All week we’ll be focusing on the brand new release from MB Disco – the legendary Giorgio Moroder’s classical and seminal Italo-Synth Disco tune E=MC2. MB Disco pays tribute to the godfather of disco by inviting some of the most influential names from the early 80s Italo-Electronic scene, includingAlexander Robotnick, of Problèmes d’Amour fame and Daniele Baldelli, one of the founding fathers of the Cosmic Disco scene in Italy.
Naturally, we got a few exclusives to share with you this week – and some really exiting news as well. We’ll also be giving away 5 of the Italian Connection release on double vinyl 12″ and many other things. So make sure you visit us every day.
For all the latest news and updates, make sure you drop by MB Disco over at Facebook as well and Like them – all sorts of goodies can and will pop up there as well. And why not drop by MB Disco over at SoundCloud to catch up with some fresh tunes as well?
