Disco Segreta reissues another uber-rare 70s Italian disco holy grail.
“Stripiz (Strapazzo)” – a made-up word meaning “Scramble” – was originally recorded in 1978 for the tiny Roman label SGR by Lele Pathà, the moniker of musician Emanuele Degni, for what will be his only release, only issued on 45 in just a few hundred copies, specifically targeted to a clubbing environment.
“Stripiz” is a truly unique record in the panorama of Italian 1970s disco during its climax years and is nothing short of pure madness: a fully instrumental track made out of synthesizers, Moog lines, bells, and drums topped by a male voice that goes “Striiiipiiiiiz”, a picture-perfect portrait of the immensely free Italian creative outpour in disco music at the end of the 1970s, not to mention the wonderfully lysergic cover art!
The first ever 12” reissue of “Stripiz” comes lovingly remastered, respectful of the actual tracks’ 70s vibe, and features the original 45 version plus a contemporary reinterpretation by Italian mastermind Marcello Giordani DJ that turns “Stripiz” into a dark disco monster!
This is a strictly limited edition and will never be reissued again. A true collector’s item!
