SLIDE SHOW FROM THE RELEASES ON I VENTI D'AZZURRO AND DELIVERY RECORDS:
Hi ! Eccomi !
I am Marcello of "i VENTI d'AZZURRO" aka Marc B., aka NRG BOYS aka ........
Music has always been the key to love & friendship, sharing the same emotion & passion !
Ever since I was struck by the sounds of italo-disco this motto never left my mind, while promoting & pushing this particular kind of music.
Collecting disco-music since the late-seventies, I compiled the music-charts full of discosingles on original labels under the name of MB DanceCharts. That was back in 1984.
Soon I realised that nearly 80% of all singles were Made in Italy ! Sofar nobody had pushed this music exclusively into the spotlights, so I decided to create a hitlist full of italodisco 12"-es, directly imported from Italy, only on original Italian labels.
January 1986 the new charts were launched, with the more appropriate name "i VENTI d'AZZURRO": the twenty (i Venti) songs from (di=d') Italy (Azzurro is the national colour).
These charts impressed immediately and the songs were soon after broadcasted in various Dutch (pirate-)radiostations, including the most important one in those days: Radio Stad Den Haag ! The friendship with all people involved in RSDH is still remaining today, even more profound I daresay !
Radio Stad Den Haag and "i VENTI d'AZZURRO" now co-operate very closely in various aspects, but always related to music, ITALO-music !!
As you see, describing myself through this "space", I can't help it connecting my profile to "i VENTI d'AZZURRO": it will always be part of my life !
By the end of the eighties I participated modestly in a project of my dear friend Roberto "SAVAGE" Zanetti, who recorded an album with Rosario e i Giaguari. He kept on supporting "i VENTI" ever since !
"i VENTI" also managed a Flea Mix (Ala Bianca) and a remix for the Caesar's Dancers (Flea).
With promotion through Asia-label and 21st CENTURY of The SAIFAM GROUP I could confirm my very special friendship with MAURO FARINA and all staff of SAIFAM.
In the nineties the wonderful opportunity (given to me by A.Beat-C & Delta & Time Records) started to write and sing for the Japanese market: songs under the names as Marc B. and NRG BOYS (just to name a few) could only be realised with the special dedication & friendship of people like FRED VENTURA, DAVE RODGERS, CLARA MORONI and all others involved.
With my dear Team of "i VENTI" and many other friends/fans we celebrated Twenty Years of "i VENTI d'AZZURRO" in Mantova in May 2006.
It was my celebrationparty to demonstrate the respect and friendship I have found with so many people.
Never before there were SO many Italo-disco-artists, musicmakers, producers and studiocrews gathered in ONE club !
Now, in 2007, we will write history again: the NEW labels for italian 80's style: "i VENTI d'AZZURRO" Records & DELIVERY Records !!
Through these pages I sincerely hope to find all friends of the past, of the present & the future !!
UN GROSSO CIAO A TUTTI !!!
