Null Null 12″

During the eighties it was possible to observe an Italian fascination with the mysterious Far East. This can be found across art, design and music in Italy during this time, in subtle or obvious ways. Specifically there are Italo-disco records that proudly show this influence, some of the best known being: Fun Fun – “Living In Japan”, Koto – “Chinese Revenge” and City-O’ – “Rose of Tokyo”.

Following in this theme is Fancy – “Null Null”. Not to be confused with the famous Euro-disco artist behind “Slice me Nice”, this ‘Fancy’ is a one-off project from Italo-disco icon Raffaele Fiume, the artist and voice behind many great Italo-disco hits, such as: Helicon – “You … See”, Malcom & the Bad Girls – “Shoot Me” and Ralph River Band – “Strange Vibration”.

Adding to the original tracks of the 1982 release is a totally ecstatic and powerful remix from Betonkust: one of the most talented and exciting Dutch producers of recent years. Also included is an instrumental edit from Hysteric, for those who find the unique vocals challenging.
