Obscure Italian grooves from the Amsterdam establishment.

For our newest VF Live, we head again to the basement of Amsterdam’s Rush Hour for a cool vinyl set from Daniel Monaco.

Daniel Monaco is an Italian bass participant, artist and producer. In 2023, through Rush Hour, he launched Life Lesson, a disco-heavy two-tracker “with a wink to Cerrone”, that includes vocals from Mame N’Diack Seck Thiam. Formerly bought out, Life Lesson not too long ago obtained a repress from Rush Hour, and is obtainable now.

“My thought behind this combine was to indicate some “obscure” little-known disco soulful rock groovy tunes from Italy. Some of those are laborious to seek out however not unimaginable to get,” Monaco says of his VF Live combine.

“I needed to make a set which was preparatory and gratifying to individuals who don’t know loads about Italian rarities and on the identical time I didn’t need to make a mixture of all costly nice-but-ugly-rare to find-gems. I needed to indicate it out, to not present it off.”
