Here a little presentation from Callum Simpson, one of our guest for our Dance with the Devil closing party at Trenta Formiche on 13th and 14th April!
I’ve been collecting records and frequenting mod/soul clubs in the UK and Europe for the last 15 years…bloody hell, where did the time go! Although I collect records, I wouldn’t say I’m a collector, my first thought is about the dancefloor and the dancer’s reaction to the records, hopefully that comes across in my selections and how my sets flow. I have been involved in promoting clubs and lucky enough to DJ at some of the biggest and best Mod, Soul and RnB clubs in the UK and Europe such as The Boiler Club, Laverone Weekender, NUTs, Euro Ye Ye, 100 Club and the of course the mighty Pow Wow. This will be my first time in Rome and I am really looking forward to spinning some records at Dance with the Devil! Here’s 5 from my play box which will almost certainly be getting a spin: • CU - I’m on my knees • Peppermint Harris – Cry for my baby • Bobby Massaro – Takin Names • Little Rose and the Shadows – Time for Peace • Jimmy Brown – Be Gone Facebook Event >> HERE <<
Per l'occasione infatti avremo il piacere di ospitare nel bunker del Trenta Formiche tre prime donne della scena soul internazionale come Emel Ilter, Pat Bleasdale e Valentina Savio ! Questa volta promettiamo di ricordarci il borotalco!
Appuntamento Sabato 17 Marzo // Trenta Formiche (Zona Pigneto/Mandrione) - Roma h 22.30 - ingresso con tessera ARCI + sottoscrizione
For the second time we will be honored to host inside our club for the closing weekender of Dance with the devil at Trenta Formiche in Rome, Bill Kealy!
Was bitten by the record collecting bug at an early age and started djing at Scooter and Mod events in the late 80s playing mainly Mod Revival and 60s Mod stuff. from there I delved a little further back and discovered the wonderful world of Rhythm & Blues.... I've promoted many clubs over the years and at the moment I run the 'For Dancers Only' nights in Dublin and I'm also a resident at The Federal R&B Club in Crewe. I've been very lucky to get to play records in many beautiful places around the UK & Europe and I'm very much looking forward to coming back to play at Dance With The Devil, last time was just amazing!!

Here a little introduction to one of the three djs for the night of March of Dance with the devil at Trenta Formiche! Here the fabulous Pat Bleasdale!!
I have started buying records in the 60’s when i was a mod in Liverpool and the visits to family in Ohio over the years helped my collection grow. During thise years, i’ve been privileged and honoured to be asked to play in some fabulous venues in Europe and the Uk. Now I'm looking forward to my trip over to Rome and to be sharing the decks with the other two lovely ladies and dj’s!! Here 5 tunes that probably i will play in Rome! Jimmy Moore - Church Street Sally Ralph Weeks - Let Me Do My Thing Charles Johnson - You Made A Mistake Mixed Feelings - Sha-La-La Billy Byrd - Lost In The Crowd. Facebook event >> HERE <<
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) Facebook event >> HERE <<
Here a little introduction to one of the three guest djs of the March night of Dance with the Devil at Trenta Formiche! Here the lovely Emel Ilter!!
Hello, I'm Emel. I'm one of Lucerne’s Rare-Soul-crafters and organizer of the NOT TOO YOUNG Swiss Soul Weekender in Lucerne. I'm part of the «Spin Club Lucerne» alongside my mentor and biggest supporter Henning von Herzen (fka. Boogaloo), playing black music from 60's to today. I started collecting HipHop samples in first place until I realized how vast Soul Music actually is, still loving the mellow, sweet and funky-edged headbanging pieces with an obscure touch. Some of you might know my «Sweet Deep & Mellow» mixtapes that depict quite well my favourite style. But don't be afraid you hopefully won't fall asleep on the event. I have never been to Rome and never danced with the devil so my knees are weakening and in my dreams and dealing with what to presente il popolo maledetto. The food may be my saviour so I am really looking forward to meeting you fine people and the pope. Amore ardente, Emel. Here the Emel mixcloud channel https://www.mixcloud.com/emelism45

Ecco a voi una breve introduzione al nostro ospite Alex Claretto con cui avremo il piacere di condividere piatti e malandrinate Sabato 17 Febbraio al Trenta Formiche per la seconda data del 2018 del Dance with the Devil !
Mi chiamo Alex, sono nato nel 1991 in provincia di Torino. Mi sono avvicinato alla scena Mod 10 anni fa e circa nello stesso periodo ho cominciato collezionare, iniziando dal Beat Italiano che trovavo per i vari mercatini e fiere della Penisola e appassionandomi nel frattempo alla musica nera in cui ora sono immerso totalmente. Una delle cose che amo di più è proprio andare all’estero a caccia di dischi, cercando di scovare rarità o curiosità. Quello che proporrò nelle mie selezioni spazierà dal Rare Soul all' R&B con qualche intermezzo di Funk, Crossover e Garage . Ho messo dischi in molte città della Penisola , in Francia, Belgio, Spagna e Germania in svariati eventi Mod, Soul e Scooteristici. A tempo perso gestisco anche un canale Youtube dove potete ascoltare qualcuno dei miei dischi . Ecco 5 pezzi che suonerò sicuramente : Bob Soprano – Hey girl Rod Andrea - If it's lovin' you want Little Joe Hinton - Let's start a romance Bob Correll – Don’t knock it till you try it Ollie Jackson – Gotta wipe away the teardrops
Ciao a tutti! Sono Marco Starri da Trieste, dove nel 2009 ho cominciato a selezionare i miei umili dischetti con i Glory Boys Trieste. Nel 2012 è poi cominciata l’avventura Move On Up Mod Club assieme all’amico Michael Myers, mentre ad aprile 2017 è nato, in collaborazione con Andrea e Mitja di Intermission Trieste, il progetto Hip City Trieste. Oltre alla scena locale, negli anni ho avuto la fortuna di essere invitato a mettere i dischi ad alcune delle più importanti serate italiane (Teramo, Torino, Genova, Rimini, Pordenone...) ed anche all’estero (Euroyeye, Le Clean Cut, Mousetrap, RnB123, For Dancers Only...) Sono un Mod ed un amante della musica afroamericana su vinile originale, soprattutto del periodo che va dalla metà degli anni 50 ai primissimi 70. Negli ultimi anni mi sono quindi concentrato sulla ricerca dei suoni riconducibili alla sfera Mod, quindi Jazz, RnB, Rare Soul, con un pizzico di Latin e di Ska e Reggae, che è ciò che proporrò con molto piacere al Dance with the Devil il prossimo 17 Febbraio! Non ho mai messo dischi a Roma, quindi non vedo l’ora! Alcuni dei pezzi che potrete sentire da me sono:
Carl Underwood - Ain’t you lying? (Merging) Garnett Mimms - As long as I have you (United Artists FR) Otis Lee - Hard row to hoe (Quaint) Gamblers - Drivin’ Blues (Gas-Lite) Celeste Hardie - You’re gone (Reynolds)
