The Twelve Inch 142 : Self Control : Italo/Europop/Electro - 1984

This week’s mix kicks off with a medley combining both versions of Self Control, reflecting the transatlantic collaboration that defines the song’s story. Following this theme, the mix is split into two parts. The first half-hour dives deep into the Italo scene of 1983–1984, featuring a carefully curated selection of standout tracks from the era, including Baltimora, Savage, Decadence, and Gary Low, alongside Italo-inspired gems from Sandra and Sandy Marton.

The second half transitions to the U.S., showcasing the sounds shaping American club culture during the same period. This segment highlights artists like I-Level, Kajagoogoo (in its U.S. remix), Nolan Thomas, and Whodini, capturing the vibrant interplay between these two musical worlds.
