Bordello A Parigi presents a compilation of demo tracks from the legendary Italo Disco icon: Federico di Bonaventura, better known as Fred Ventura. These demo tracks were supposed to remain secret until Fred started to digitalize them from tape a few years ago. Most of these tracks were part of the transitional period between the exit from his early 80's band State Of Art and start of his first solo project Actor's Studio and career as Fred Ventura. A versatile treasure of lost music recorded from 1982 until 1984 in Milan, Italy.
Comes with double front sleeve and printed inner sleeve.

We met Fred Ventura in 2006 over emails sent to Italians Do It Better headquarters. He was one of the first people from Europe to start writing the label prior to After Dark’s release. It took us a few months to realize that this was Fred Ventura, the cult Italo legend from Milan. Like a true gentleman, he had never bothered to mention it. Since the early 1980’s Fred Ventura has released numerous singles in Europe & toured the world extensively as a solo artist. Last year, Johnny was in Bologna on tour with Desire & Fred came out to the show to drink Champagne & bring us some copies of the reissued tapes of Fred’s early Post Punk group State Of Art. The lightbulb lit up & we asked him if he had any home recordings of his solo work. Months later, he sent us 83 tracks of cassette recordings between 1982 & 1987. They had been sitting upstairs in a dusty box at his parents house in Italy for the last 25 years. These tracks have only been heard by a handful of his closest friends. We were completely floored & honored! Finding a beautiful treasure completely untouched & preserved is so rare. The songs are raw & honest written by a romantic with a love for an anthemic chorus & a drum machine running through his veins. Think early minimal Depeche Mode with an Italian heart. OrNew Order covering Madonna produced Moroder. Yes, it’s that good. Here we have the first official Italians Do It Better release of these songs on a 4 song 12? ep. This vinyl only release is a teaser for the “Don’t Give Up” 18 track lp out in a couple of months. So in the meantime, slip on those Gucci loafers, rev up the Alfa Romeo and head down to the discotheque because life is too short…

Originally released by Lombardoni Publishing on 1986, this is probably one of the hidden gems from the label.

‘Indio’ contains all the elements of italo disco classic tune: Super energetic mood, male + female vocalist and different leads to complete a great tune.

Originally released on Discomagic in 1988, probably it’s one of the last italo disco classics tracks from the 80s.

The track was composed by Fred Ventura (not performed) and Gianfranco Bortolotti (Media Records).Very energetic track with a unique structure in its genre, more clubby than an italo classic track. A unique fantastique lead melted into a likely trancy bassline. Dub version a bit more clubby on b-side.

Released originally in 1986 by the small label Industry it had a short distribution and only a few labels released all over Europe (only south of Europe). Mid tempo track to fit any italo disco mood.

Not brassy melodies but super melodic leads combined with the perfect male voice. If you are an italo disco follower and you have had this record back in the 80s, it will be probably among your favs. This one not to miss.

Having a new release from Ken Laszlo is always a good new. No doubt this is one of the most famous vocalist, not only for oldies but also for new generation italo disco. What if we joint the vocalist to Carino Cat production, one of the top producers from Sweden? Then you have a banger!
