Death Disco Radio presents: Casionova. He was the first DJ in the UK to revive Italo Disco, and has preached it with a near-religious zeal in clubs and parties all over the country since 1999. Along with his other trademark Chicago House, Disco, Electro and Detroit Techno sounds, his distinctive style has been partied to in sleazy 80s dives all over the UK from Manchester to Brighton to London and everywhere in between. After his electro residency at Molecular Breakdown in 2001 in The Jazz Place (Brighton) Casionova and DJ Devil Droid teamed up with Human Shield’s Ali Renault to create Cyber Dance, a label to channel their italo fantasies through. He also founded and manages/programs Magic Waves Radio with Devil Droid, the first UK Italo Disco radio station and a 24-7 exponent of classic underground dance music culled from the past thirty years. Over the years he’s spun records alongside Casco (Italian DJ Champion 1983), TLR (Creme/Bunker/Global Darkness), Rob ‘n’ Zoopsie (Revolving Eyes/Moderne), DJ Raphael (Dozer), Fonteyn (Computer Blue), Scape One (Mass Transit/Transparent Sound), Multiplex (Toytronic/Senton), ADJ (Pyramid Transmissions), Peter Mangalore (Human Shield/Sequence), Tommy Walker III (Human Shield), Soft Rocks (Pure Pleasure Music), Future Sound Of Clapton (samurai.fm) and Future Beat Alliance (Delsin). On the radio his mixes can be heard alongside the likes of Casco (Radius/House Of Music), Beat Broker (Flexx), iamelectron (RobotDiscoTerror), K-Alexi, Joe Smooth, DJ Di’jital (Direct Beat/Puzzlebox), Mr Pauli (Viewlexx/Clone), DJ Overdose (Viewlexx), Jeffrey Sfire (Ghostly), Rob ‘n’ Zoopsie (Moderne), Fonteyn (Computer Blue), Baby G (LSB Soundsystem) and Syncom Data (Bunker), to name only a few… His epic ‘Jam All Night (Parts 1 & 2)’ features on Elecktryck Magyck (CyberDance001), on release now, and Casionova is also a member of Deathmixx 5 whose debut EP is released this winter… Less
