“WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO WELOO HA!” “Italo Nitro” begins with Fela Kuti’s distinctive voice soaring over an infectuous afro-disco guitar. Then the bass and beat start to gurgle. It’s dance potion in raw audio form. The track was produced by Afrodisiac Sound System who, undeniably, release the best DJ blends. This particular track combines the italo future disco cut “I’m Ready” by Kano with Fela Kuti’s “International Thief Thief”.

This song was played at the first few Fatbacks and never got old. We’ve retired some tracks for sure (goodnight to BBD’s “Poison” and “Dance to the Music Medley” by Sly and the Family Stone). But this one’s been fresh ever since the beginning. Lesson learned: Italo-disco and Afro-funk go so well together.
