Review: This 1984 single by Italo-disco duo Fokewulf 190 stands out from the crowd. Instead of the usual arpeggiated basslines of Italo-disco, it throws in a bubbly synth groove reminiscent of electrofunk. Layered on top are sharp synthesizer melodies with a new wave influence, atmospheric chords, a winding synth-saxophone, and energetic, heavily accented vocals. The singer, originally uncredited, was none other than future Italian synth-pop star Fred Ventura in his early days. Despite its unconventional elements, the track remains timeless. This quality makes it the perfect foundation for remixes by DJ Tin Tin and Flemming Dalum. Their approach is respectful, adding a touch of modern production without compromising the original's core sound. Interestingly, the remixes might even enhance the original. The stripped-down elegance and driving rhythm of the Fokewulf 190 version become even more striking when placed next to the updated soundscapes. This is a release that caters to both fans of classic Italo and those who enjoy modern interpretations of the genre.
