Welcome to the forgotten tapes archive!

My name is Mr. Pizzi and I used to work as a club DJ in Italy from 1983 to 1997.

Below you can find the archive of some old DJ mixes  that I have recorded on tape over the years – many of them live while playing at the clubs – and now converted to mp3 in order to make them available to anyone who likes to listen to old mixed dance music.

 

Recently I got nostalgic and bought myself two second hand Technics SL1210 turntables, a Traktor  Z2 mixer and started a fresh production of old mixes. This serie is called “The Basement Mixes” and is named after my summer house’s basement, where I am recording today 🙂 Rest assured that, although I am using digital vinyl for these mixes, there is no digital trick and/or post-production involved. Real old school mixes, with all the glitches and errors you can find in my old tapes.

Enjoy!
