Don Carlos: Echoes Of Italy - Early 90's House Vibes Vol. 2 Vinyl 2LP

"In Switzerland, in the quiet and diligent town of Lugano, between the 1980s and 1990s there was a club called 'Morandi' Its hot night was on Wednesdays, when the audience also came from Milan, Como, Varese and Zurich. The Wednesday resident and superstar was an Italian dj with an exotic name: Don Carlos. The soundtrack he devised was a mixture of Chicago, Detroit, the most progressive R&B and certain forgotten classics of old disco music: practically, what the Paradise Garage in New York might have sounded like had it not closed in 1987. No one knows who was the first to call it 'paradise house', nor when it happened. Alternative definitions on the same topic one happened to hear included 'ambient house', 'dream house', 'Mediterranean progressive'… but of course none were as good (and alluring) as 'paradise house'. For a brief but unforgettable season, in Italy 'paradise house' was the official soundtrack of interminable weekends spent inside the car, darting from one club to another, cutting the peninsula from North to centre, from East to West coast in pursuit of the latest after-hours disco. The clubbers of the so-called 'fuoriorario' scene were the balls gone mad in the pinball machine most feared by newspapers, magazines and TV pundits." - Jungle Fantasy Records
