Sometimes they come back!!
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!!
Top 5
Piney Brown - I'm Travelling
Arthur Griswold - Pretty Mama Blues
Ruby Johnson - Don't Start Nothing
Tommy Williams - The Feeling Is Real
Skip Robinson - I Just Can't Wait

Here a little introduction to one of our guest djs for the Dance with the devil wild weekender of April at Trenta Formiche in Rome!!
We are really honored to introduce the mighty Gav Arno!!
I first became aware of the Mod scene in the early 80's and started calling myself a Mod in 1984! From then on I began a lifelong love affair with the music of the era. From RnB, Boogaloo, Funk and Soul to Ska, Garage, Beat and even a touch of Psych - some brilliant tunes in all genres. The more obscure the better for me, although it is definitely what's in the groove that counts!
I've DJ'd quite a few places over the years and always get a buzz from playing new tunes (new to me that is!).
I tend not to rely on the heavy hitters so hopefully you might hear a few tunes that you don't hear much elsewhere.
Really looking forward to Dance with the Devil!!

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.

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 a little introduction to one of the three djs for the night of March of Dance with the devil at Trenta Formiche!
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)

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.
