Time Is Plastic - (4:38) 112 BPM Hot
Review: The disco scene's obsession with all things cosmic and Italo continues, but that's no reason for founding father Daniele Baldelli to rehash his own past - so don't expect cosmic-by-numbers on this team-up with his old Pedivelle Records mucker Dionigi. Instead you get the largely organic funk workout 'Alloteva', the low-slung, cinematic jazz-funk of 'Deflector', Latin-tinged midtempo number 'Sonora' and the deep n' moody 'Time Is Plastic'. But those are very broad-brush descriptions: Baldelli's 45+ years' DJing and production experience mean he's able to mine a wide variety of sources for inspiration, making for an EP that will appeal to a wide range of listeners.

Review: Over the years Daniele Baldelli has released quite a few albums, though it would be fair to say that none are anywhere near as good as this terrific collaboration with fellow Italian scene legend Marco Fratty. The genius of "Oil Painting" lies in the pair's ability to fuse chugging, typically cosmic grooves and mind-altering synthesizer motifs with the hot-to-trot grunt of funk-rock and disco-funk. It's a template that guarantees a string of high quality cuts from start to finish, with our favourites including the arpeggio-driven throb of organ-heavy smasher "Steam Engine", the melodious dub disco flex of "Jasmine Flavour", the Cymande tribute "Slinky Funk", the eye-closed rock guitar solos and trippy cosmic disco grooves of "Column", and the Nu Guinea-on-steroids flex of "Positive Flow".

Zero Gravity EP
Infinity Machine - (6:50) 105 BPM Hot
If You Drive - (5:38) 115 BPM
Air Vibes - (6:01) 118 BPM
Review: For all his skills as a DJ - and, let's face it, he pretty much created the Afro-cosmic DJ style all on his own - Daniele Baldelli's productions have not always hit the mark. It's heartening to report, then, that this collaboration with Dario Piana for Leng Records is arguably the best thing he's produced to date. "Infinity Machine", where wild, effects-laden Clavinet lines, jammed-out electric piano chords and meandering synthesizer solos ride a particularly druggy arpeggio bassline, sets the tone magnificently, before the Italian duo jogs towards dub disco territory on the percussion rich "If You Drive". Badlelli's love of spacey synths, crunchy guitars and tactile synth bass comes to the fore on closer "Air Vibes", which also boasts a wonderfully tactile breakdown.
