indeed.  it broke my cherry.

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

Mixed up in the Hague, definitely good pick to build up tolerance. From there you have an endless road ahead of you..

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

In my mind Mixed up in the Hague parts 1 & 2, got me into this whole italo thing and probably countless others, if they don't like that they ain't never gonna understand!

It's like nearly ten years old (?) and works every time!

Things that meschi became interested in, post-Mixed Up in the Hague: italo disco, girls, life itself

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

yeah! radiostyle is one of my favorite italo mixes. play that for someone after they hear mixed up in the hague and some early IG mixes...

i did see him/her/it post a few times back then...last time i think was in April when the 'radioactividad' mixx was posted - some crackers in there too, but yeah, eightythreeinrimini is the best...a lot more pop/cheese/blabla on 'italofied' but i enjoy it too once in a while...

i dunno, but personally MUITH vol 1. was about more than just 'italo' for me...of course the italo selections & mixing of these tracks in it go al long way to making it one of the most important mixes i've ever heard, but somehow i wouldn't say to someone, 'this is italo, go check it out' when introducing it to them...i guess there's more than that going on for me, the first 20 mins never seem to make me think of italo, maybe i'm missing something smile

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

like lina said though maybe this is perfect because they wont get an italo O.D.
puts it in a more accesible context basically, while still remaining totally uncomprimising

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

poison them with the real shit, no politeness.

At first I thought it was a joke, this post, but now it's getting too serious...

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

@mcr
yeah i know, its like worrying that too much of it will put them off means that inherently the music is shite.
personally meself, i go for the jugular

good point tottiehead about MUITH vol1. I haven't listened to it in ages but i only seem to remember 4 or 5 italo tracks on there

keep hackney crap

yes, choke them with loads of cheese.

No, I meant, before, that it got a little boring, this over analytical study over italo mixes, what's the best to start? Are we in school? Not to put them off? Think of the best goa trance mix, I would still trow up the today pasta lunch. Just give them what you like. Give them intergalactic fm. If they don't like it, well, as an unsuccessful italo dj I got accustomed to it.

edit: I mean, me and trubotnik got our new year's eve gig cancelled cos they don't like italo... fuck them

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

I also like I-f Mixed Up in Dublin

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

if you try to overload them with italo, you might end up overloading thwem, it dont mean its shite.
sorry for perfectly reasonable explanation as to why muith is so great for an intro. and sorry lina for taking your post seriously, didnt realise it was a joke and only was trying to help. or is this the wrong forium to be discussing italo mixes like that

Re: Best mixes to break someone into italo?

Nah, it's a serious question. My life would be a lot easier if everyone I knew was into italo. No wondering why all my friends are at the bar when IG is playing and I'm dancing alone, no fighting over tunes at parties, more people to obsess with...the reasons are endless.
