Disco Not Disco

Opilec Music is back with another treasure trove of music that outlines how important Turin and the Piedmont area was to the development of electronic and dance music in the 70s and 80s and beyond. This compilation has been expertly put together by Opilec Music boss, I-Robots, from his own experiences as a DJ and collector and from time spent digging in archives, old collections and anywhere else he could. It marks the start of a new series and is the latest in a long line of such projects he has worked on before now.

Digitally remastered two CD collection containing a trio of albums plus bonus tracks. Celso Valli is one of the Kings of the Italian disco scene. His skills as a producer, writer and arranger can be heard on some of the biggest Italo hits ever including Azoto, Passengers, Taffy & Peter Richard. For disco fans his crowning glory was his work with studio band Tantra. Their much loved catalog has been out of print since their vinyl release. Disco Recharge is very proud to bring you this lovingly restored collection which features virtually everything recorded under the name 'Tantra. Disc One includes the first two albums in their entirety and ends on a spectacular note with the full Patrick Cowley remix of 'Hills of Katmandu'. This is not the unfinished version that has been widely available on vinyl for many years. This exclusive version actually features Patrick Cowley's trademark added synth's and percussion and is up there with his remix of 'I Feel Love' in the disco hall of fame. Disc Two features the final Tantra album as well as all the 7' and 12' mixes. Harmless.

The album reached No. 12 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and topped the Billboard Soul LPs chart. The album features the single, "The Hustle", which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Soul Singles charts.
