8 Tracks: For An Empty Club With Gatto Fritto

 
Music

Love International recently announced a special compilation series curated by some of their favourite DJs. Out today, the first instalment has been put together by Gatto Fritto who, after a lifetime working in "the better record shops of London and Berlin" and DJing in Europe's finest underground clubs, is finally getting the props he deserves.

Gatto Fritto has also taken the time to compile this excellent 8 Tracks playlist for us. We'll let him set the scene: "The empty nightclub… a blank slate… tabula rasa. Early evening, prior to the tyranny of the dancefloor, there's room for music with a gentle touch and a little self indulgence… and just playing some records you really want to hear loud(ish) on a good soundsystem." From Vapourspace to King Sunny Ade, dig in below.


The Sound Of Love International 001 is out now, order it here.

Vapourspace - Paradox Of Time Dilation

On the b-side of the all-time, heavyweight, outer space techno smasher that is ‘Gravitational Arch of 10’ lurks this piece of gentle beauty. Very simple, very pretty.

  • Vapourspace - Paradox Of Time Dilation

    On the b-side of the all-time, heavyweight, outer space techno smasher that is ‘Gravitational Arch of 10’ lurks this piece of gentle beauty. Very simple, very pretty.

  • Richard Pinhas - Ruitor

    Wonderful undulating arpeggios and treated guitar from Helden’s main man.

  • The Lost Jockey - Rise & Fall

    Minimal not minimal from Andrew Poppy and his ensemble.

  • Edward - Symbols Of Balea

    13 minutes of creepy acoustic guitars and atmospherics from the real genius out of the Giegling crew.

  • Roland P. Young - Late Afternoon Light

    Beautiful, strange electronics, dub effects and thumb pianos from an evergreen wizard.

  • King Sunny Ade And His African Beats - Ja Funmi

    Just the best on a big, clear sound system.

  • Streetmark - Dreams

    Wolfgang Riechmann’s defining moment… epic, dynamic, jazzy krautrock. Tragically he was murdered before this was released.

  • Tura - Reishi

    Track b1 on Likemind 003… Andy Turner from Plaid/Black Dog with a perfect mini symphony of emo electronica.
