SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "ON AND ON" /// "WHISPERS IN THE WIND" + Top 25 Best Hard Ton Tracks [2009-2019]

To celebrate the release of Hard Ton's much anticipated new EP featuring their brand new acid-house stomper "On and On" and the oldskool-flavoured and unusually downtempo gem "Whispers in the Wind", I am revisiting this enormously prolific Italian duo's entire catalogue. The occasion is rather special as 2019 marks ten years since the release of this ultra-flamboyant act's first official release "Marilyn". A decade of underground club anthems spanning across house (in countless of its incarnations), electro, Hi-NRG, synth-pop and Italo disco. All delicious. All saucy. All unapologetically queer.

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "YOU AND I (Hard Ton Remix)" - Miss Plug Inn /// "THE HEAT IS ON E.P." - Hard Ton & Paul Parker

Hard Ton must be among the most prolific musical acts of the past few years. Fruitful collaborations, vibrant club gigs, festival performances, singles, EP's, remixes, dj sets... These Italians are where the party's at! Seriously I can hardly keep up with their ecstatic stream of queer electro, (acid) house and nu Italo disco releases. "The Heat Is On E.P." is Hard Ton's latest joint effort with the legendary hi-NRG singer Paul Parker which follows their fresh remix for Miss Plug Inn's "You And I", both released by Bordello A Parigi, a Dutch record label that's flamboyant both in its name and its content. To celebrate this successful underground career I have also prepared a very personal list of my favourite Hard Ton moments to date. It's a fabulously hedonistic feast for your earholes and your feet. Not a bad offer for a Monday evening I suppose...

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "BACARDI & COLA" /// "DREAM OF PARADISE (Jadoo Remix)" [with Ajello] - Hard Ton

The ever so busy being busy Hard Ton has even more nu disco tricks up his XXL sleeves! Literally days after I was privileged to receive his flamboyant "Perfect Party Playlist" submitted exclusively for my blog, we are treated to more surprises from this unstoppable nu italo disco machine! The video for the so far unreleased and immediately dancefloor ready "Bacardi & Cola" was created by the cult Piepke. This week also sees the release of Hard Ton's second collaboration with Ajello - "Dream Of Paradise", following last year's monster of an anthem "Chocolate Black Leather" - top 5 of the best tunes in 2011! Of all the mixes Jadoo's disco divine treatment seems the most fun! All Hail to the XXL disco diva of the XXI Century!
