The Pondering Blonde

Cavo Paradiso Album Launch Party

The summer clubbing destination that is Mykonos, Greece, has come boldly to the fore with the release of the Cavo Paradiso club album- mixed by the great Argy and Lucca Bachetti. The much anticipated double disc drops a sultry beat just in time, to heat things up to the point of no return for another smashing season…

Join us for the worldwide Cavo Paradiso album launch on 30^th May at Egg nightclub in London. It’s going to be a night of quality house indulgence with lashings of Greek island flair! Mixing muso’s Argy and Lucca Bachetti will be playing live and in the flesh to show you first-hand what a night at Cavo Paradiso is all about!

The club teeters 150 feet above the Aegean Sea on party island Mykonos and feeds the throng of local and international clubbers, a non-stop parade of the best dance music and artists from around the globe each year. Cavo is now renowned for its eclectic vibe and friendly, fun-seeking party-people and aptly considered ‘one of the best summer clubs in the world!’

Both Argy and Luca currently hold the dance industry by the ear with astounding productions and live sets. Their coming together as the mixologists of this album sees them fuse their groovy, deep and tech elements through a decadent selection of tracks from artists such as Josh Wink, Kerri Chandler, Audiofly, Loco Dice and Radioslave, as well as showcase their own incredible productions.

The launch at Egg is going to be a truly exotic clubbing treat and one to put down in ink for the clubbing calendar in May!

LUCA BACCHETTI

Luca Bacchetti’s relentless passion for electronic music has seen him forge a name for himself on both the house and techno scene and successfully blur the line in between. Beginning as a radio dj in Italy, with hip-hip and soul influences, his early work with Alex Neri gave him the gusto to get severely electronic. Luca organically grew a reputation for expertly produced music and was soon chased to make and remix for the likes of Wagon Repair, Supernature, Ovum, Viva Music, Saw Recordings and Meerestief among them, giving him an international profile. Last year his status was cemented with a nomination for Best Artist in the Beatport Music Awards 2008.

ARGY

Argy Theofilis is an artist who lives, eats and dreams his electronic craft every day. His musical direction steered him to London early in life where he cut his teeth and made his debut on Poker Flat Recordings in 2005, at just 20 years old. His sound has been described as ‘State of the Art’ and releases on notable labels like Cocoon, Deeply Rooted House, Raum Musik, Cargo Edition and Defected have confirmed and encouraged his innovative yet functional sounds. Argy’s electronic web of wonder is beginning to stick well, as 2009 has already seen him launch his first record label, These Days.

Lost in Paradiso

On Saturday night I popped my head into Egg nightclub in London to check out the Cavo Paradiso Album launch. If you don’t know, Cavo Paradiso is one of the sexiest clubs in the world- well, that’s what the Greeks say anyway! Cavo teeters 150 feet above the Aegan Sea on party island Mykono’s and feeds the throng of local and international clubbers a non-stop parade of the best dance music and artists from around the globe- it has a giant glistening pool in the middle of the dancefloor and looks down into a crystal blue ocean abyss… the stuff of wet EDM dreams really!

The album is mixed by Greece’s finest export, Argy, and Italian born Lucca Bachetti, so as you can imagine the exotic Europeans were out in full force to show their support! It was quite an experience! Argy strolled in looking like he’d come straight off the beach- and it has to be said, that guy has really good hair! The music of course, was a sexy reflection of what you can expect on the double disc album- and will make you think twice about an Easy Jet to the White Isle this summer! There’s definitely something refreshingly different in their track selection- Luca’s set was a stomper from start to finish and Argy tipped my bucket of joy when he dropped Stoned Autopilot by Martin Buttrich- double thumbs up!

My best part of the night though has to be the girl that came to me at the dj box as Luca started his set and said, ‘I’ve lost my friend, can you call her on the mic?’
