Mushrooms Project / The Italo Job Podcast (Mar 2012)

29/03/12 Type: Podcast - Genre: Balearic


This month our guests on the mix are Mushrooms Project.

Mushrooms project are Giorgio Giri and Marco Lentano who met back in 2003. They were joined through a love of DJing and a passion for all forms of music. Their inspiration has come from the Idjut Boys and the Mateo & Matos duet.
Pushing the boundaries of DJing they introduced themselves to using 4 turntables, which enables them to fuse together deep house, disco and funk. After making their debut in their home country of Italy they have gone onto play at various parties around Formentera and Ibiza. In the middle of the Mediterranean their Balearic approach to music fitted in perfectly with their surroundings! In 2008 the pair had their first production signed by London’s Bear Funk Records. As an established label with releases form the likes of Lindstrom, Chicken Lips, Idjut Boys, Fabrizio Mammarella it was a promising start for Giorgio & Marco.

Shortly after a new demo arrived at Electric Minds who were quick to snap up their latest EP for the label. “Space Mushrooms”, “Wilkommen” and “Special Guest In The Camping” are newly created tracks with live instruments throughout. The baleraric and techy sounds provide an original and new sound for the ever growing house / nu disco scene. As an added bonus to this new Ep is a remix from Toby Tobias. As a friend to the label and with his consistency of releasing his trademark sound on labels such as Rekids and Tiny Sticks it’s great to hear Toby’s work on this excellent EP.At the end of 2009 Mushrooms Projectclose the year with a work on “Pizzico Records”.In 2010 released an italian style 12″ EP on “Is It Balearic?” label which is called “Italian Connection” and just later a 12″ EP on “UNDER THE SHADE” this work is called “Tropikal Mushrooms” and creates two remixes by Phoreski and Mark E.With the flowering summer 2010, the italian duo create a remix and launch “Soupaczar” band, that soon will be released on “Under the Shade” with a remix signed by Ray Mang and another one from Padded Cell.By the end of summer 2010 released an 12″EP “Kamikaze” on the “LENG” of Paul Murphy, label boasting names like “idjut Boys” and “Cantoma”.

Hibernation volume 2 (feat. TOBOR EXPERIMENT, MUSHROOM PROJECT, BLAKULA)

05/04/11 Type: Remix Song - Genre: NuDisco

It’s that time again; the bears come out of their winter Hibernation and take stock of the idyllic beauty that is all around them. Upon opening their weary sleep filled eyes, the sound of a new season floats through the air like Doves gliding through morning sun.

So what is this sound? Well at Bearfunk we firmly believe in working our artists and producers as hard as possible, so all through the winter they have very busy bee’s honing in on that special Bearfunk sound we know and love.

We welcome Downtown Party Network and Lasertom & The Blast Crew as newest members of the Bearfunk cult. They both deliver outstanding tracks with DPN’s “Get a Life” opening the compilation. Lasertom & The Blast Crew hail from the Emerald Isle and are currently fine tuning an LP for Bearfunk, they lay down a potent marker with “Two Sides” a smoked out dub disco jam that is sure to make your bottom move.

Elsewhere we have regular contributors Max Essa, Ilija Rudman and Visti & Meyland doing what they do best. Be sure to check out Essa’s remix of Kotey Extra Band “I’m Dancin” which is exclusive to this compilation. Peter Visti pops up with “Lost In Space” a new single from his forthcoming solo LP. Claremont 56 head honcho Mudd is a purveyor of some of the Bear’s earliest releases. Whilst Stevie was cleaning up the master’s box he noticed that Mudd’s “Ossian’s Cave” release had some unreleased mixes which sounded amazing.

Tobor Experiment Disco Experience gives us another peek into his forthcoming LP with “Guitar Voodoo” an exotic piece of contemporary disco. Blakula‘s LP was one of the best sellers and a highlight for many last year. Miss Morgue a track from that album gets the Kotey extension with his Neck bite edit. Those crazy Italians Mushrooms Project made “Phalcon Crest” many moons ago, we love the style of this duo, they have the energy and passion of a Ferrari but there music has the subtleness and craft of a Jaguar, its easy going music at its best.
