About Me

Hi! Here we are, finally. First of all, let me introduce myself: my name is Carlo Basile, and I've been, without any doubt at all, the stronger rock international executive in the Italian record industry. I've worked hard and I've launched hundreds of artists, and still, nowaday, I'm looking around for new talents ( you can see, for details, my career steps in the general informations on the left).The heavy passion for music has always been the "spring" that has pushed me to jump into the music business, but very often I had to fight with the poor professionality of many of my collegues and the unfair competing firms in the domestic record business. My past activities seem to demonstrate that I have a great musical insight, that has always worked really fine as a filter with the rock & pop taste of the italians: in other words, what I like, seems meeting quite perfectly the appreciation of all the passionate people and fans of the pop repertoire and ther so said rock oriented freaks (called in our country "rockettari"!). I've decided to open this blog, in order to offer a free service to the younger generations using my experience and my know how: RADIO BASILE intent is to point out not only the famous rock stars of the past, but also the new talents both international and domestic In particular,the Italian new generation, remain generally unsigned, due to the second-rate "performances" of the current executives of the record companies here, and so,are not able to find an artistic and commercial way out on our market. So,each track of each artist will NOT be downloadable from the player, and instead, for full appreciation go into the street and buy their cd albums.That's important for the music industry and also for the artists. Money it's not all, but helps! In short, in our intention, RADIO BASILE would like to become a solid datum- point for all the people that love yesterday's and today's music, and will accept our suggestions on the artists to listen and buy. Just want to clear that I play only what I like, the right choices make a radio successful, that's the obvious secret: thanks everybody and... enjoy Radio Basile!! hugs, Carlo (King Basil for close friends!)
