OpenUP#10 and the healing power of sound to create order out of chaos.   Music as the answer to our needs to feel connected to our brothers and sisters. Music as a way to evoke feelings and overcome our deepest sense of loss. The sonic experience is one of the deepest we can appreciate to have been exposed to through times, as this experience effectively starts with the magical unconscious tuning to our mother’s heartbeat since the moment of our conception. Even more than visual arts music talks directly to our bodies, minds and spirits continuing resonating with us until the end of our time. When we listen to music our senses all engage and, with no distractions pushed by images and other special effects, we are left with our emotions which is where Music roots its foundations and eternally stays with us. OpenUP#10 is a tribute to Music as our means to overcome sadness and as a vehicle to lift our frequencies so that our energy flows can continue pulsing without locking into negative paths of despair. In times like this, between the major scare of the pandemic and the sudden unexpected loss of most remarkable music genius Chick Corea all […]

An excursion into the italo disco balera

A Noiseless Patient Spider BY WALT WHITMAN (1868)  A noiseless patient spider, I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated, Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding, It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself, Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.   And you O my soul where you stand, Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space, Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them, Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold, Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul. Un silenzioso paziente ragno    Un silenzioso paziente ragno Vidi isolato, su un breve promontorio, Che esplorava lo spazio libero e vasto intorno a sé, Tirando fuori dal corpo fili e fili, Srotolandoli, rapido, senza stancarsi. E tu, anima mia, dove stai tu, Circondata e separata da smisurati oceani di spazio, Rimuginando senza posa, avventurandoti, buttandoti, cercando le sfere a cui connetterti, Finché il ponte che ti occorre non sia fatto, finché l’àncora duttile non morda, Finché il filo sottilissimo che lanci non si attacchi a qualcosa. traduzione di Ariodante Marianni (https://www.discogs.com/artist/1798988-Ariodante-Marianni) da Foglie D’erba, Walt Whitman 1868) 

My name is Marco Cabras and I was born in Cagliari, Sardinia in 1974. My approach to music has always been, from early adolescence, as a simple music lover. I started DJing at parties at about twenty years old, offering funk, soul, latin jazz and much more. At the same time I have always followed the house and techno scene, especially from Chicago and Detroit but also the European one.

Quite an interesting eclectic choice of music for this OpenUp#7 #lockdown2 journey. Remembering master Cuban percussionist Candido, celebrating 80 years of Tom Moulton, channelling the good spirits to understand diversity and going full circle. Lost in rhythms, lost in the depth of music with a message, searching for answers or reminders: life is such a funky – sexy journey with music around us so we should never be dismissive and yes,  most definitely ‘you can dig it baby’. It’s about being consciously alive, feeling, flowing, generating body heat, shaking up the body cells, embracing the cosmic energy and exchanging it for it to manifest. We are transmitters, my message from me to you, without excluding myself, is about being humble and safe, about being gentle, open and caring for one another. Bottom line, there is no better place in this world than our own life, this is the ultimate essence of it all and cannot be escaped: we gotta engage with it and as they say, we are going to be okay. In a world that is changing we got to be unconditionally prepared to change for the sake of the beauty of this ONE-world. Music is love. Music is life.

Amicably greeting goodbye to the Summer, an off-centering summer indeed, the summer of the post-lockdown nonetheless quite a momentous summer for me. The summer of a few but essential ethical evenings spent with friends-artists-DJs and record collectors. A summer almost completely savoured thanks to the bubbly- jazzy ‘made in Italy’ music scene and crucially, the happening exception for me, of meeting the astounding Fatoumata Diawara when I was asked to open for her at the LOCUS festival where she played live in the beautiful setting of a typical Apulian agriturismo country farm accompanied by uber talented ‘Snarky Puppy’ leaders, multi-instrumentalists Michael League and Bill Laurance and the Orchestra della Magna Grecia. OpenUP # 5 is a heartfelt mix born reflecting on the distant beauty of two shooting stars spotted on San Lorenzo’s night after a magical Salento evening in music (respect, love and gratitude to La Restuccia UrbanMasseria https://www.facebook.com/larestuccia/). OpenUP#5 is a kinetic selection made without great pretensions other than re-creating moments and sensations of collectively active joy: the energising unexpected cosmic connection found in the rhythms and the dynamics of upbeat music selected from ‘old and new’ from all over the world sent across to everyone worldwide. Just vitally […]

IZZIO POWER STYLE Izzio born in Sassari in the 1976 . I began to make myself heard in the early 90s, through a Sassari radio station, conducting a program of Underground music strictly by technics 1200 turntables. Leading my local radio live programs , i begins to appear in the world of clubs starting to play warm up dj set in the most popular discos of my home town.

After some years of break I return to play my music, oriented to electronic sounds, melodic house and all its variants …

Recorded live at Dal Gusto Wine & Food – Sorso one of the most important village in the Sardinian wine production map.

A journey into a sound drenched with heartfelt emotions. The perception of our fears and the innate desire to reach out and connect so to find that unspoken agreement to create a better future for all. The melancholy of ‘distancing’ and the recalling of familiar places to feel grounded and not give up.  

Music can allow our bodies to breath and feel open and joyful. This is a journey into new and not -so – new sounds. A journey that delves into the finest frequencies of our souls moving across places and spaces where it will also be easy to go back to in times of hardship #lockdown Music is a vessel to share our deepest feelings. Music is our weapon, it moves and forever it will help shifting anything unwanted making way for what’s truest and closest to our hearts. Here from Kahil El’Zabar, Zorro Five, Laraaji, Busi Mholongo, Seun Kuti, Dudu Pukwana, Etuk Ubong, Tony Allen, The George Semper Orchestra, Manfredo Fest, Dom Um Romao, Emma-Jean Thackray, Max_Marinacci, Boddhi_Satva, Black Coffee, Moodymann, Carleen Anderson, Josh Milan, Shaun Escoffery, Mark Grusane ….

  Due to the desire to escape, and a vague sense of inner awe filled exclusively by music, Dj Datch started getting closer to the world of clubbing. At first he was inspired to explore the different types of electronic music although passion leads him to a broader evolutionary path. He also started playing in the most important clubs of his native land, Sardinia. His performances began to take an intense musical form of personal communication with the obsessive use of drums, almost like stabbings, in a progressive growth up to mesmerize the listener : explosion then restart. Next step is outside Italy, turning a utopia into reality : Tresor Club in Berlin. DJ Datch found a context of sound research, find a chemistry that makes developing a personal style characterized by techno sounds, dark and hypnotic in combination with hints of experimental dub. Meanwhile, driven by his desire to share his perception and vision of music, he founded, along with his brother, the web magazine Aremun.Com which becomes a focal point for the community involved in electronic music. In order to complete this journey DJ Datch experiences his first productions in 2011, focusing his energies into his dark style. […]
