Beppe Loda started DJ-ing in 1973 and is known amongst music enthusiasts as one of the original founders of the so called ‘Afro-Funky’ and ‘Cosmic Disco’ sounds/scene that became popular in northern Italy during the early to mid 80s at the now legendary Typhoon (Brescia) and Cosmic (Garda lake) clubs.Within these revered clubs a cross-genre mixing approach took in elements of funk, jazz-fusion, psych-edelic, rare groove, afro/brazil mixed them with the electronic sounds of Space Disco, German electronica and new-wave synthesizer sounds of the times.
Often referred to as the ‘golden era of DJ-mixing’ for its open minded approach, Afro/Cosmic & Space Disco have inspired artists from Giorgio Moroder right through to modern day torch-bearing producers like Lindström, Prins Thomas, Todd Terje and DJHarvey, whilst setting the foundations in place for a number of genres, including Italo-Disco.
Beppe Loda’s inspiring technical abilities and programming skills have ignited modern dance floors across Europe and the States (including Moma in NYC) and later this month in Hong Kong and Japan during his very first Asia Tour.
