Best mixes to break someone into italo? (Page 3 of 3)

Trust me, I am

i getcha...but for me it depends how much you want them to like italo, and what it is that sends you into a mad-grinning dance frnzy when you hear a hot track...if you have to be gentle with them then maybe you're already diluting the appeal it has for you. i'm not at all interested in over-analysing or dissecting for the sake of it...all i know i that i was told by a friend that he put 83in rimini on at a party i wasn't at, and later his friends were fighting over trying to steal the cd...encouraged, i gave the same friend rob & zoopsie's tesis mix, which he said was coolexx...them i shipped him FD's boogie down rimini, and all of a sudden it was too much, he didn't dig it at all. but no sweat, i had no vested interest in him liking italo; i was just as likely to burn him dopplereffekt/omar s/eduard artemiev...

you didn't, of course. sorry i mis-paraphrased! and i entirely understand what you say about chicago shows, and MUINTH too...i'd never argue that these tracks shouldn't be mixed in with other styles, sometimes to devastating effect...just that if i had a friend who asked me 'so what is this italo shite you're always going on about?' and decided to give them an idea, then it would be a broader sweep of italo tracks, rather than the odd one thrown into an albeit amazing mix...again i don't want to talk as if this matters so much, but i'dlike to think that those who i'd deem it fitting to play this kinda stuff to would have the inclination to look up the tracks that did it for thjem, and then jump down whatever rabbit-hole they came across if it turned them on

as soon as they become comfortable with the dormant emotions that re-emerge you can introduce them to FD - flowing through my veins of steel. absolutely killer mix.

Good call. I threw that one on for my mom a few times. She hasn't broken yet, but I'd say it's just a matter of time.
