Review: They don't get more legendary than Daniele Baldelli. As one story goes, the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling and Nicky Holloway went and witnessed one of Baldelli's legendary Afro-cosmic sets in Ibiza in 1988, which in turn inspired them to throw their own parties in London that same year - and the rest is history. Originally released in 2006 on vinyl and CD, Daniele Baldelli presents Cosmic Disco - A Journey Through Elektro Afro Funky Sound finally gets a digital reissue. From euphoric and spaced out Italo disco journeys like "Cronos" or "Corona Borealis", through to hypnotic Afro moments like "Hararibode" and "Mamba" which truly capture the moments of tribal trance that made his hometown residency at Cosmic (where he apparently used Technics and incorporated drum machines long before Ron Hardy or Jeff Mills) in the early '80s the stuff of folklore - this is essential listening for any serious DJ or electronic music nerd
