WHODAMANNY

Raffaele Arcella, known under the moniker Whodamanny, is a hyper-prolific producer and remixer who has been active for many years within the independent underground electronic scene and beyond. Closely associated with the Neapolitan label Periodica Records, he has released and co-produced numerous projects, and since 2023 he has been curating his own imprint, Biloba, conceived as a platform to carry forward the legacy of the Latin Italo-disco trend that marked many Italian productions from the late 1980s through the 1990s. "Onda Biloba" stands as a kind of album - compilation, bringing together the results of Arcella’s ongoing exploration in recent years - both in stylistic development and studio experimentation. The record offers a diverse and vibrant selection, shifting between potential dancefloor bangers and more laid-back, downbeat digressions for blue-hour moments. Did we mention the absolutely pinging cover art too?? Bellisimo! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Vibrant and upbeat moments of disco, proto-house and boogie from a contemporary Neapolitan legend. With beautifully pinging record sleeve you'll want on your bedroom wall. What's not to love?

Whodamanny

Placebo / Loca Loca

After launching his own record label Biloba, Raffaele Arcella, aka Whodamanny, returns to Periodica with a limited-edition double tracker infused with unmistakable Italo-disco vibes and a Latin touch.

“Placebo” and “Loca Loca” deliver rhythm with depth, reminding us how vacations can feel like a fleeting illusion of escape from reality—and how much nostalgia lingers in the memories of summer nightlife.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: There's definitely summat in the water in Naples. It seems like EVERYONE is a musician! Whodamanny is actually an integral part of West Hill studios - Periodica's recording base. So between recording and mixing all the other sick artists in his locale, he runs solo here with a vibrant double header touching on Latin and Italo vibes. What a ledge!
