Daniele Baldelli is a DJ & producer who is considered an innovator in the Italian disco scene for developing a unique, 'funky' and 'tribal' aesthetic by playing eclectic, esoteric records at drastically altered speeds, often slowed way down, and sometimes adding drum machines and effects. He developed the style with Claudio "Moz-Art" Rispoli while both were resident DJs at the Baia Degli Angeli (1975–1979) and Cosmic (1980–1984) discothèques in Northern Italy; he released scores of mixtapes during his tenure at the latter. He was mostly unknown outside of Italy until a surge of English-language press coverage in the second half of the 2000s spotlighted Baldelli's and T.B.C.'s 'Cosmic' style alongside the similar 'Afro' style of his rival, Beppe Loda. |
