Four Flies new imprint Edizioni della Notte with a 12-inch maxi single of infectious remixes of Francesco Fisottiâs boogie funk track âLa Tartanaâ by eclectic Neapolitan DJ/producer Whodamanny. The original track, which comes from the 2021 album Lido Sirena (named after a beach resort in the Salento area of Apulia, where Fisotti used to spend his summers as a child), blends funky disco, synths, drum-machine beats and improvisation into an exciting new sound that Fisotti calls âAdriatic funk.â Inspired by slow-tempo but irresistible Italo and cosmic disco tunes, in particular Tonino Balsamoâs 1983 âSta Guagliona Mo Ddaâ (one of the rarest Neapolitan grooves ever, recently reissued by Periodica Records), Whodamannyâs two remixes amplify the originalâs dancefloor potential by adding a nocturnal vibe and elements such as synths and electronic drums, as well as a short vocal line (âDonât stop till the music stopsâ) to create a catchy call-and-response effect. Whodamanny himself explains that he produced not one, but two remixes due to his love of extended dub versions. âItâs sort of a professional quirk,â - he says - âbut you know, itâs inevitable. Youâre sitting at the mixer, listening over and over to a track...Of course youâll find bits you can stretch out to create a fantastic flow! And my approach is always the approach of a DJ. I want whatever I produce to work well in my DJ sets, so these remixes too were bound to be club-oriented.
