Rare vinyl covers ever seen and a great desire not to let the past disappear. For the fifth year running back on "Record Store Day", the day that celebrates independent record stores. The music festival "to touch". As per tradition, the fans around the world can go to stores participating in the initiative and find records in a limited edition published for the occasion.

DJs in Frisco Disco, were engaged to play the turntable.

Rejoicing with songs like "Love Me Right" by LaVerne Baker.

Because, as Nick Hornby, High Fidelity with which he helped to create the music of independent shops: "The record stores do not save lives, but they can make it better."

The Record Store Day was born in the U.S., has been conquered England and became a cult event in Italy.

"Our country is the seventh in the world for sales of vinyl," he told Vinyl is Back, Daniel Salvaggio, head of external relations of the Federation of Italian music industry. "The traditional music market continues to suffer from a constant slowdown for several years - he added - but is growing well on digital."

Pure Imagination

LP of the day is Pure Imagination by Stylophonic.

Stylophonic, stage name of Stefano Fontana (Milan, October 2, 1970), is an Italian DJ.
His career began in 1987 and Plastic in Milan.
His work as a producer begins almost simultaneously with the activity of DJ, making it immediately familiar to lovers of music and bringing it to shoot the best Italian and European clubs.
Still very young, he enrolled at the school for audio engineers with the aim to become a DJ.

In 1987, Stephen began working for Plastic in Milan. After 3 years joins the international DJ circuit, "International Jocks".

Fontana in 2003 released his first album, Man Music Technology, Stylophonic through the project, launched by the Hit If Everybody In The World Loved Everybody In The World and the next single Soulreply. The album shows a sound very close to acid, which is the Electro, and launches Fontana as one of the best DJs in Europe.

The second album, BeatBox Show, released in 2006 and differs from the first by a sound described by many cocme "much more homogeneous and closer to the House the eighties." The lead single Baby Beat Box summarizes very well the sound of the album, and the CD earns a lot more successful than the first job. Another hit single is Pure Imagination, which is performed with a sample eponymous song by American artist Lou Rawls.

Fontana has recently produced several songs just for commercials. In addition to Baby Beat Box and Dancefloor, appeared in ads for Dolce & Gabbana Time in 2005 and 2006, are also visible R'U Experience (again for D & G in 2007) and Oh, My Gold (used by Citroen to launch the C3 Gold in 2008).
Fontana has worked with the best local and also globally is still resident DJ to General Stores in Milan and at Amnesia Ibiza.
Collaboration as producer with Jovanotti (for the single (So) and the album ³ Good blood) has greatly increased its popularity and in 2008 he continued his activities as a producer, working on albums and contacts Bugo Psychodelice Meg.

Venice, Sunday 15 have raduanti for the Exhibition of disk, 50 exhibitors from all over Italy. A unique opportunity to find special rarities record companies, but also to rediscover the classics, organized by organized by the Original Idea! Events and Services snc in collaboration with Punto Radio Cascina.

When, in the early 80s, was launched to support the new laser scanning were not many to trust him, but took only a few years to ensure that the CD sales surpassed the old vinyl, so that it ended with the disappear almost completely from the market, while the record stores svendevano inventories and reorganized to accommodate the new boxes. In fact, the vinyl is never completely disappeared and you are nostalgic for the old soon added new ranks of young fans, who at first took to the exhibitions market in search of old productions and have worked as hard core for a significant recovery in production.

Fifty exhibition stands and a room dedicated to Hi Fi with demo tracks and guided by the guru of high fidelity Pierre Bolduc, for a total of about eighty thousand records: "Among the exposed vinyl also the first release of the original value of the Velvet Underground five thousand euros "explain the designers of the event Zarone Lorenzo and Paolo Conte from the pages of Corriere del Mezzogiorno" the stars of the original print of Mario Schifano value of three thousand euros, the orange vinyl of The Wall by Pink Floyd and evaluated two thousand euro the first work of Paolo Conte's '72 priced at 1500 euros which is one of the rarest items of the exhibition.

Dimitri From Paris

Here's some classic Bizniz from the many monikered Dimitri. Arriving on thescene as France awoke from slumber ITS musicals in the mid nineties andcasting the net wide in the search for influences, Dimitri championed thecosmopolitan jet setting sound. Although a House DJ at heart, Dimitri Took Hisearly inspiration from the sounds of 50s jazz, Exotica and Film Scores, creatingin 'Sacrebleu!' (Mixmag's Album of the Year in 96) a set of sumptuousdowntempo muzak, lush and layered yet examination at the time playful and fullof character. However, if one Were to peer through the fug Gauloises, Thatsuave exterior was inside a house sipping the head hard punch That theexamination and Harvey Idjuts Were serving up. This 12 "on Yellow Productions(cultured for a consistent house label run by the co consistently questionableBob Sinclair) is an absolute gift for anyone with even a passing interest inHaving a good time.

The track first appeared on the Sacrebleu! LP somewhat sophisticated fashion.Intended as a 'tribute to the late Larry Levan and the great Lalo Shiffrin (sic)',Dimitri Serves up house track Incorporating the otherworldly melodies of LaloSchifrin not only complete with harpsichord, jazz drums and bass, cinematichorns but Also a bump house and kick some far out on the dancefloorpsychedelia Levan. If the LP version restrained blackberries fell into the LaloSchifrin camp, geared for home listening and lounge bars, perfect for an eveninginside Stella Artois advert, then the 'Old School Flava' mix was Larry's revenge.Uptempo, proto house drums, hard dub basslines, lazers and the examination far out synths as the LP version. If you're a fan of the excellent Night Dubbin'compilation on BBE then this one's for you.

If you like what you hear then I strongly recommend finding a copy of this vinyl asthe Crue-L Grand Orchestra and Idjut Boys Also mixes are superb.

The Sauce(s) Make the Difference

Duck Sauce is an American-Canadian DJ duo consisting of Armand Van Helden and A-Trak.

In the summer of 2010, Duck Sauce released a track called "Barbra Streisand", named after the singer of the same name. The track heavily samples the 1979 song "Gotta Go Home" by Boney M, which itself is based upon the original tune "Hallo Bimmelbahn" by the German band Nighttrain. The famous hookline is written by Heinz Huth. "Barbra Streisand" was first played at Miami Winter Music Conference 2010, and gained heavy DJ and radio support in the UK and Ireland, Germany, Norway, Austria, Poland, France, Finland, Romania, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka. The song has since also moved to various commercial radio stations and has increased in popularity. In the UK it peaked at number 3.
