The Robot Scientists - Musica da Batticuore 14 - Obscure Synth Disco Classics Mix


Amici, it took a long long time...endless weeks....but these days, the legendary THE ROBOT SCIENTISTS announced the release of their 14th "Musica da Batticuore" mix of ultra-obscure underground electro disco, italo disco, cosmic disco, space disco classics from the late 70s and early 80, spiced up with some recent nudisco tracks worth checking out. Again, they only used vinyl records and mixed them live with their two Technics 1210 turntables and Pioneer mixer.

I listened to this mix twice now, it definitely is one of their top 3 mixes so far - let me add here that all 14 are simply brilliant, lightyears ahead of all commercial mix compilations for this genre. The density of amazing tracks on every one of these mixtapes is so high that they are apt to implode in a black hole.

MDB 14 is something any music fan needs to have heard: a timeless testimonial of the greatness of these overseen synth / electro disco tracks from the days when "Disco" funk music ruled the "Discotheques" and the first synthesizers for home use were used by mostly amateur producers to create synthetic dance music. There was a load of crap out there, but The Robot Scientists are excellent in digging out the real gems. Many early House and Techno producers were influenced by this kind of stuff, although even to them, most of these tracks definitely were not known. A tribute to the secret geniuses, that is, Musica da Batticuore 14. Simply put: amazing.
