ABOUT THIS ITEM

Slovenian based Sare Havlicek is a bit of a hoarder. A hoarder of old synthesizers, drum machines and most of all 70s and early 80s Euro / cosmic disco sounds. A trip around his luxurious studio is a bit like a day at the synthesizer museum. Throw in some liberal doses of Adriatic-disco and early 80s Shalamar Vs Shakatak vibe. Then add a sprinkling of Magic Fly and long, lazy, girl-on-arm coastlined days. Bake for a year or so and "Toscana Nights" - the album - pops right out.

Title track "Toscana Nights" opens up proceedings with a killer lead line and Sare's trademark pulsating 1/8 note synth-bass groove. Studio 54 would have loved this track. Next up is the sunshine anthem "Lazy Summer", dripping with kitsch, sweetening strings, cocktails and sunglasses in equal measures. Then its onto "UFO's Are Real". The album features the catchy vocals and snappy lyrics from US Import, Hannah Mancini. You can hear her add her slinky sheen to the vocal tracks "Dreams In Light" , "In Out" and "Pleasure Storm". Tracks such as "Dancing In Val D'Isere 1979", "Attack Of The Vowels" and "Song" mine deep into Sare's analog synthesizer collection. If you want to hear 70s oscillators doing there thing, then this is the place for you. No samples or loops are aloud past the door here boss.
