Everyone who has the chance to hear Salvatore Stallone play falls immediately in love with his impressive DJsets, which are a pure trip into music. Starting to play records back in 1974 at Disco Club in his hometown Montesarchio, not too far from Naples in southern Italy, Salvatore saw himself leading his own show on Radio RDS (the Italian BBC), being resident DJ of Naples legendary Angels of Love Partys and performing alongside Bert Bevans and Jovanotti at the official opening party of MTV Italy in the early 90s. Afterwards, he lead a Jazz Club for over 15 years, which gave him the opportunity to work together with some of the best Italian Jazz musicians and to compose 'Bee's Dance' Opera, as part of the Biennal Art Venice 2009. Nowadays, after 40 years of musical experience, Stallone runs his own Label 'Polyritmia', plays at clubs and festivals mostly around Italy and Ibiza and is considered by the likes of DC10 residents System of Survival and Rene to be one of the best DJ they've ever heard. Reason enough to get yourself dived in this episode of the audiotheque podcast series.

Princess P recorded this smooth and elegant mix to reactivate the series. As a learned cook, P knows well that it takes good taste to make good things. She got into music in the early 90s via her brother, and soon after she had birthed DJ-Team 'Tribal Kidz', was running her own radio show, and managed her own club ‘FunkBunker’ in the depths of Berne’s legendary ’54 World Cup stadium, Wankdorf. In 2008, Princess P aka Muriel de Bros graduated at the RBMA and gained with her skills, records and symphathy no less than David Moufang alias Move D as her admirer. Nowadays she spends her days in Basel City’s Plattfon Record store, and her nights playing in various venues and festivals all over Europe. Keep an eye (and an ear) on her.

'Elegant, incredibly tasty and full of warm italo and balearic influenced grooves.' That's how we described Slow Hands's music on a short press text for the audiotheque.clubnight of last June. For this third establishment of the 'Winter-Edition'-series though, the man from Brooklyn NY put togheter some tunes, which fit well for those cold and cozy winter days. Expect tracks by the likes of Kylie Minogue, Jane Birkin et Serge Gainsbourg or Bobby McFerrin, mixed together, as we only could expect from a crew member around the pop-afine house labels Wolf+Lamb and Soul Clap Records.

The man behind the fortnightly radioshow sub.fm made his first aproach into the world of vinyl-digging, DJing and producing trough dubstep and bassmusic.
