After so pleasant results, press and audience feedbacks about his first full lenght work night moviemr. Bogus is finally back “im Berlin” to push things in his way: lotta dope grooves and strange charming sounds. Increasingly influenced by italian B movies and A soundtracks Billy is on the way to explore the subtle “trait d’union” between old dusty music and tlair-blazing new sounds with acid, deep, early house seasoning. If you already got his album just look for his brand:new remixes for Things Happen and the upcoming Holiday in Arabia, Gravitation rework.
Super cool Prince Charles based in Kreuzberg is putting Pizzico chef up on thursday the 2nd of Feb, this exciting night forecasting electro meister Ben Mono too, it’s defintely gonna be fun. Purchase your ticket in advance on Resident Advisor.
After the beloved “Crazy Mambo Dancer” (and lot of fun parties) Pizzico just say welcome back to the little prince of funk Nic 2 Birilli.
With unrestrained pleasure we watched him grow up in sometimes strange and sick contemporary club culture, keeping the faith with his blaxploited, funky and disco background. Feeling adult and able to shake butts everywhere with his vinyl rarities and endless energy Nic is now resident at legendary MOXA club based in Mantova (Italy) and Pizzico official party DISCOBLAST.
Boogie Ornella is the funk side of this “must dance” EP and it feels like a boogie disco track with a strong percussion line nicely looking at “Spanish Harlem”, surrounding bassline, wah guitar, handclaps, cowbell, clave, shaker and congas without neglecting the oscure disco kick, all strictly played live by Nic and his cousin Patt! Ten Times Más Barato is the Blaxploited side of the release with a sort of wah raggae guitar, space synth solo, cosmic reverbs clashing with a sunny (but crooked) horns loop.
Remixers are hot baby: Things Happen, after being n.1 on Juno chart with their Rare Things Happen Vol. 1 for Strictly Groove Recordings, turn the synths on for a crazy & deep house version of the title track. Loudtone, after one of the most cult-releases on Pizzico with Liquid Liquid’s Dennis Young, unexpectedly peep out again with a torbid deep disco version of Ten Times Más Barato, playing a dope vocal break imbued with dirty groove.
Pizzico Nobel present [PN030] Mushrooms Project – Tori Teppanyaki (succulent japanese delicacy)
out on 2011/12/19
A Xmas tale.
Hey guys what’s that noise? It’s Santa Claus from the chimneypot, finally! Come in man, don’t be shy!
Hey Santa what did you bring for my sweet and curious kids?
Playstations? IPods? Toys? MONEY? Nope?
Ohhhh.. Music.. Mushrooms Project new single.. Well we all really appreciate your originality and courage Santa but you must admit that these seem not the proper times to give original dope music as a present, chiefly to pure, innocent kids.
Let me think.
I will buy some new clothes .. or toys.. or stuff in general for my children and i will give this strange, huge gift to my old starving hi-fi system and.. please guys remeber to not enter that room when your daddy is listening to Mushrooms Project and if you see some smoke coming out from the window D O N’ T call the firemen, it’s alright!
Well let’s celebrate Christmas now with eating some good Sushi food at the japanese restaurant below. Sure you are invited too.. old dirty Santa.
Fin
This stupid past / present / future Pizzico Xmas tale is just to introduce the new single of the notorious Mushrooms Project, a ‘travelling without moving’ duo from Parma, Italy, already recruits for outstanding labels as Under The Shade, Nang, Dwdk, Mad On The Moon but we must remark that before all these hyper-cool-disco-benchmarks the two dear fellows were released by Pizzico Records, notably at Christmas time with the dopest tunes you ever heard.
Well, just to reassure y’all, this year it’s the same.
Tori Teppanyaki (succulent japanese delicacy) is the empteenth crazy project from the Mushroom, dilated, literally cosmic, sounding like a ‘Flash Gordon’ new soundtrack version with crystallized synths, desert grooves and a sci-fi atmosphere that probably fits kind of martian Xmas time, more than a terrestrial one to be honest.
No remixes, as the tradition enjoins.
Ah! It’s the 30th release of Pizzico Nobel too, so follow the daddy in the story and please celebrate with us relishing a big huge Sushi dinner!
Pizzicombo wish you a dope Xmas and a visionary new year.
Billy Bogus will play at legendary Frau Marleen club, based in Versilia, a huge sea place located on the west side of the country. For the occasion the club named the night ‘Disco Lambro ‘76′as Billy’s single that was first at Juno chart and created very good impression to italian and european press cause of the weird idea to sample seventies’ junkie vocals from a milanese hippy festival of that decade, out for the Heels of Love’s Mad On The Moonrecords.

Demian Castellanos’ project The Oscillation, after two master albums out for cult DC recordings, is out now with an amazing full lenght work for All time low and will play live at Discoblast, Mattatoio Culture Club, supported by Billy’s set.

Pizzico records showcase (Billy Bogus & Johnny Paguro) + Andrew Weatherall
@ Control+C festival – Carpi, Italy
Billy Bogus
His first album Night Movie for London Nang sounds like a cinedelic creature, born from cinema turbulences and spurs that Billy got in his life: b-movie, sci-fi, noir, college movies and many other weird video disturbances brought him to search for an ideal night soundtrack. NM is defined by Dj Mag “the cool fine alternative to the contemporary disco scene” or simply “a great debut” by Blow Up magazine. Dimitri from Paris defined it as “a big mixture of samples with a great atmosphere” or people like Aeroplane or Faze Action simply lovin’ it, the fact is that after pushing things forward for Pizzico maison, Billy is releasing stuff for many labels and he feels ready to discover unknown worlds with his motley dj set, once again.Forthcoming “Glamouflage” on WE ARE OPILEC! compilation (Opilec Music) with Giorgio Moroder, Todd Terje, The Units, No More Klein & Mbo, Beppe Loda, I-Robots.
Johnny Paguro
The human shellfish Johnny Paguro is ready to go outta shell and rock again.
His dj set feels unexpectable: waved disco filled with deep & early house, ‘cause fresh fish doesn’t stink!
His remixes and release for Pizzico and Mad On The Moon got great reactions from artists as Rodion, The Ooft!, Duff Disco, Space Ranger and many more.
Andrew Weatherall
Does he really need to be introduced? Nobody thinks so.
Main character of the last twenty years english pop scene is producer, remixer and tout-court artist. From the production of Primal Scream “Screamadelica” to Björk, Siouxsie, New Order, My Bloody Valentine and (more recently) Fuck Buttons and Warpaint. His influence to all modern and european music is invaluable, behind legendary project as Sabres Of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen, true pioneers of fusion between electro, rock, dub and funk. During last years Andy totally feeling absorbed by his “solo” projects and albums where even he taking a stab in singing!
His dj set sounds hypnotic, techy, disco, unexpetced.. simply unbelievable.
Pizzico Nobel present: [PN029] KID WHO – URSA MAJOR/URSA MINOR
Out on 20th October 2011
Since the release of his debut 12″ on the legendary Belgian edits imprint Mindless Boogie two years ago, British DJ and producer Louis Jaquet aka Kid Who has gone from strength to strength, making his way with jazzin’ dj sets in London, his Town.
With one EP and a string of remixes under his belt for artists including Miguel Migs, Crystal Fighters and Jupiter, his music has received support from Aeroplane, Diskjokke, Faze Action and Tim Sweeney to name a few, and he’s certainly showing no sign of slowing down.
Now Pizzico got him for full-bodied ep entirely dedicated to the dancefloor: the original tracks are literally dope, The “Major” and the “Minor” Ursas represent two faces of the same groovy spirit: hypnotic musical trips to a clubby kind of nirvana.
Cadenza piles it on with a vertigo of disco minimal cuts and a sturdy rhythm, remixes are fancy: Fratelli Riviera (aka Michele Tessadri) turn Ursa Major into a junkie house hit, then Enzo Ponzio (the homeboy is back?) gives to Cadenza a “thievery” touch, back in the daze..
After some amusing releases and rolling parties Pizzico is back with its “official” label night: Bologna, Stockholm, Berlin, Milan and now? It’s the turn of the homebase: Modena (Italy). Little town, but pugniacious!
This time at the desks an hystorical character of the scene, coming from the best italian hip hop collective sange misto, Deda is running his own project called katzuma, deep funk dj set or “many elements” live band!
Label heads Billy Bogus and Johnny Paguro on the firing line too with early, acid, disco, housy beats to make friends dancin’ all night long, saying bye bye to a mysterious friend leaving for Bogotà (Colombia) in few days. What will happen? We can’t figure it out, we just see his future life as a movie.
Billy is also out with an album released by London based Nang, it’s called Night Movieand he will play some pieces from that one looking for drunk people astouned reactions.
Indeed cinedelic approach is fundamental for Pizzico, so here comes Midnite Cowboy from Framedealer crew, please fasten your seatbells and get ready to take off, destination: sci-fi, cult, b-movie frames!
Well the summer is at its end … already? Yep unfortunately, it seemed to be yesterday when we were at the seaside drinking a cool cocktail, watching beautiful gurls’ or guys’ back, waiting for some nice discos at night … AND IT WAS REALLY YESTERDAY ouch!
Btw we hope you enjoyed your vacation, listening to some good music as our summer tune The Rhythm by our Kelton Prima featuring Hard Ton. The single was prefered by Beatport nu disco section and some nice disco artists and friends as Horse Meat Disco, 6th Borough Project, Michael Reinboth, The Ooft!, Space Ranger and many others. No doubt: this song needed a video, so here’s a so fun footage by the videomaker edenStar.
Vintage disco flavour for modern feelings, pls enjoy!
