London producer Serge Santiago has been releasing Italodisco edits since 2005 on his own label Arcobaleno (means “Rainbow” in Italian and each release has a different colour. His first release was his own “Atto D’Amore” EP, From there on, coloured vinyl re-edits followed with a bunch of Italo artists including Roxy Music, Grace Jones, Baciotti, Goblin’s “Tenebre”, Thai Break’s “Flowers in The Rain” and Droids “The Force”. He also remixes for Hercules And Love Affair, Shit Robot, Goldfrapp, Cagedbaby, Kris Menace, Caspa, Simian Mobile Disco and more.

“What they did in those days blows me away at times… It’s a different kind of energy, makes you dance in a different way…I like its originality; Italo being the first to use synths in this way makes it more interesting to me, as I know it hasn’t been sampled or re-hashed. It’s the way it is.”

Here’s one of his original tracks “Running Passions” and an edit of the My Mine “Hypnotic Tango which truly is hypnotic, now get dancing!
