Baby on Fire, now that's a ridiculous title for a song DiscoMagic 1985

A one off single by Ottomix and P.K. Single from 1985.  Ottomix being an alias for a D.J. called Ottorino Menardi.

HIS WEBSITE

He's on a ton of records from 1984 right up to a rarity collection in 2017.  Many of them tech house and techno.  A lot of the releases were labeled Joe Inferno.



There isn't anything particularly special about this record.  It's no wonder that it's remained obscure.  Just the fact that it's on DiscoMagic makes it interesting.  So many of my favourites of the genre on that label.  But that being said I do find it enjoyable.  I'm here to bring you more Italo Disco so why not.

Is your baby on fire?

Inside You by Giak

Another Italo Disco gem from my favorite  year for the genre 1983.


Co-written by Simona Zanini who was in Doctor's Cat, Martinelli, Radiogram  and occasionally one of the artists listed as Valerie Dore too.


It's from the attempt that some Italo Disco producers were want to do, a pop record.  But Italo is Italo it always has that feel.  Something that certainly makes it a bit oft-kilter for the American market but surely accessible for certain pockets of Europe, Russia and Japan.


Simply infectious and pleasant.  I'm happy for anyone that's hearing it for the first time. il Biscotto forever!

Another Rare Italo Disco Nugget I Wanna Discover You by She Male



It was certainly a provocative decision to call your act She Male.  Though I can't find any background on the record which may lead me to believe that the artist was one.

GET YOUR SHE MAIL (RPDR Humor)

It's definitely more on the melodic poppy spectrum for Italo Disco.  An Out Records (Discomagic) release from 1984.
