About this item

Daniele Baldelli: A Cosmic Life is a documentary about the life and career of cosmic pioneer Daniele Baldelli. Cosmic, or afro-funky as it was sometimes called, is a musical genre that revolutionized club culture in Italy and worldwide. The doc traces his career through archival footage and testimonies from artists and producers, showcasing how his vision influenced entire musical scenes.

The film, along with its soundtrack, highlights Baldelli’s ability to blend electronic, funk, Afro, rock, ethnic, and experimental music, creating a unique sound that has made four generations of young people dance in iconic venues around the world.

This record primarily includes new tracks specifically created for the film and the dancefloor, alongside his classics such as “Isotropo Funk,” “Funk Me Again,” and “Diffrazione” which are now very difficult to find on vinyl. It also features an unreleased track produced for the film by his trusted collaborator Marco Dionigi.

It's an absolutely essential item for anyone with a penchant for this particularly magical, long lasting and influential sub genre of dance music.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: A sublime and brilliantly realized encapsulation of the visionary's sound which neatly seems to summarize nearly 40 years of cosmic disco into one tidy full length album. He truly is the godfather of the genre.
