ID Limited Italy Vinyl & CDs

Review: This is a bit of a lesser-spotted gem for Italo disco fans and it comes from a certain David Gray. No, not that one who sang in such grainy, miserable pop tones in the 90s and 00s, but an Italian producer who dropped only this tune in the 1980s. It's a rare find from the I.D. Limited label that comes with a hypnotic beat that's a little slower than your average Italo tune. Add into that some magical synthesisers that create a trance-like vibe and you are sure to have the crowd in the palm of your hand if you drop this one. Alongside the original is an exclusive extended remix by I-Robots that brings a touch of more modern club heft.

Review: The legendary single from Illusion's self-titled album, which includes iconic tracks like 'Madonna Blue,' 'Man of Miracles,' and 'Theme,' is being reissued on vinyl in both black and coloured versions. This special release has been newly mastered from the original tapes by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering, under the supervision of producer Paul Samwell-Smith. The reissue offers a range of mixes, including an extended, dancefloor-ready version, a punchier drum mix, a melodic, synth-enhanced rendition, as well as an instrumental and bonus beats version, providing fresh takes on this classic track.

Review: This is a first-ever vinyl reissue of the Illusion band's self-titled and legendary single, which is taken from their self-titled album which also featured signature tracks like 'Madonna Blue,' 'Man Of Miracles,' and 'Theme.' This reissue has been newly mastered from the original tapes by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering, with producer Paul Samwell-Smith overseeing the process and it features various different mixes. There is the floor-ready extended mix, the harder drum mix, a more melodic and synth-laced version and then an instrumental and bonus beats.

Review: David R Jones's 'More Than A Dream' is about as Italo as Italo gets. It's also a hugely accessible disco cut with plenty of euro-dance influences in its hi-NRG, camp and upbeat arrangement. There are sinewy synth modulations and shiny arps, chugging beats and a big vocal to finish it off with plenty of razzmatazz. The dub version is included here as well as an acappella, extended mix, instrumental version and standout Eddy Mi Ami remix to complete this essential new 12" from Irma. All of these will provide great moments of energetic release in the club this winter and beyond.

Review: All aboard the velvet sound ships! 'Right By The Moon' is one of Giorgio Dolce's iconic Italo disco gems. It came in 1984 right at the height of that sound's popularity on Many Records and is now back and better than ever. That is because this reissue has come straight from the original tapes and features the original and club mixes lighting up the A-side. Flip to the B-side for a double treat: the never-before-heard original demo and a dazzling remix sprinkled with Eddy Mi Ami's signature magic. A regular favourite in Radio Stad Den Haag's Top 100, this I.D. Limited Records reissue is pure crack for Italo addicts.

Review: Riky Maltese's 'All The Night' was originally released by Time Records in 1985. As soon as it was released and forever more afterwards it has remained a classic cut and a hugely sought-after 12" for DJs and collectors alike. As such, demand has skyrocketed for this Italo disco delight over the years and prices for the original vinyl soared. Now, I.D. Limited presents a remastered reissue complete with the shiny and brilliant 80s sounding original vocal version as well as an instrumental version on the flip for more paired back experiences.

Review: Welcome back to ID Limited's Disco Planet which returns with a four-volume of irresistible dance floor goodness here. Eddy Mi Ami is charged with kicking things off and offers up 'Androids Escape'. Ambra Orfei's 'Love Me Too' then gets an Eddy Mi Ami remix which ups the cosmic quota and keeps the dazzling melodies flowing, and also featured is the 80s track 'Uomo Con Te' by Alex Germana, remixed by talented producer Electro Potato. Closing the collection is 'Love Is Overrated' by Chuck Simmons, another alias of Electro Potato, who delivers a fittingly big finale.

Review: Bobby Orlando is something of a hi-NRG master - his work with Divine is credited as a major influence on the Pet Shop Boys - who tapped up the then soon-to-be iconic duo Oh Romeo for their debut outing back in 1982. Their work on 'These Memories' made it a hit right from the off with big drums, shiny synths and arps and plenty of campuses. Late last year, Iventi d'Azzurro put together this remastered package featuring extended versions of four rare Oh Romeo tracks on the EP Living Out a Fantasy. These bangers really capture the duo's signature energy and timeless appeal and make this a record that suits both working DJs and lovers of big jams alike, all with the right amounts of nostalgia.

Review: Yugoslavia went through unthinkable turmoil during the break up of the Soviet Union, which is why it is all the more astounding even all these years on that it had quite such a fertile and innovative music scene. In 1984, Zoran Jevtic and Zoran Vracevic were a key part of it and helped revolutionise the sound of the day by introducing synth-pop, breakbeat and hip-hop with their Data and The Master Scratch Band projects. Their releases paved the way for modern electronic sounds and this album dives deep into that era and compiles their earliest unreleased works from between 1981 and 1983. It's a daring exploration of genres including industrial, EBM, minimal synth and electro-funk. It adds up to a true digger's gem that will significantly elevate your vinyl-hunting credentials without having to do the hard work yourself.
