New italo disco 12": Sally Shapiro

[Gast johanagebjorn]

Hi folks,

My debut 12" was just released!

Artist: Sally Shapiro

Title: I'll be by your side

Label: Diskokaine

Distribution: Clone.nl

Tracklist:

A1 - I'll be by your side (Club mix) 6:00

An attempt at re-creating the warm "dance romantic" italo disco sound of 1983-1984, artists such as Valerie Dore and Savage.

A2 - I'll be by your side (MarfloWersion) 5:03

Concentrating on the chorus, marfloW has some fun with the Simmons drums while remixing the track...

B1 - Time to let go 5:20

Slower and more melancholic than the A-side. Still quite true to the italo disco sound.

B2 - Johan Agebjörn: Overload 4:50

A cover version of the Amiga .mod classic with the same name from 1991, composed by Swedish duo Tip & Mantronix. This version is a synthesizer dance interpretation but with 90s/00s influences as well. Although the original is a classic among Amiga people, this might very well be the first time when the song is released on record.
