Here the sunny Valentina Savio!
I made my first moves into the so-called Soul Scene in the late 90s. my hometown Genoa already had strong connections to Soul Music thanks to collectives like Black Trefoil Soul Club which is supposed to be one of the oldest clubs in Europe. Very quickly I found herself immersed in the Italian Niter scene and discovered Soul Music.
Regular visits to up-front clubs like "Breakout" (Milan), "Voice your Choice" (Vincenza), "Covo" (Bologna) and the Rimini Soul Weekender since 2002 - which now i'm promoting with friends, celebrating soon the 15th birthday! - made me get deeper into it.
Those events give me the opportunity to listen to great Soul Music provided by not only Italian DJs but also a lot of international guests.
But Italy wasn't enough. Soul Music made me travel to the UK frequently, to events like Cleethorpes and Fleetwood (Tent), which was the place where i fall in love with 70s Soul and Crossover Soul. Most important reason - besides dancing - is the chance to meet people and share the same interest, not to say: passion!
I started collecting records recently and playing them on events including new Soul club in Milan Soul Yard, that i co-organize with my friends Stefano Oggiano, Alvise Reverdini and Simone Favre.
Looking forward to spin some tunes and night of dancing, beer and laughs in the bunker!
Here are some songs that surely i'll play for you:
The Undisputed Truth - What It Is
Carl Hall – What about you
Bobby Womack – Come l’amore
Little Beaver – Listen to the heartbeat
Rivage – Strung out for your love
Kenny Smith - Lord what s happening to our people
Kenix Music Featuring Bobby Youngblood – There's Never Been (No One Like You)
