Daniele Baldelli unleashes his Cosmic Disco?! Cosmic Rock!!! on Eskimo this week.

It’s no small task to follow-up Prins Thomas’ mind-bending mix Cosmo Galactica Prism, but Eskimo smartly enlisted legendary Italian DJ Daniele Baldelli for the job. Baldelli is one of the first Italian DJs, harkening back to the '60s before the term DJ had even been coined. He has since accumulated 60,000 records and his Cosmic Disco?! Cosmic Rock!!! makes no small use of them, spanning dancehall to disco, r’n’b to synth pop. Playing off the name of Baldelli’s renowned party from the early '80s, Cosmic, the mix also prominently features artists from that golden age of synth-pop. As the madcap inventor of the anything-goes “Dee Jay concert,” expect a seamless psychedelic chug with quite a few WTF moments along the way.
