Thump x Lil Death Mix Series: Antoni Maiovvi

THUMP has teamed up with L.A.'s dark knights Overthrow to offer you this monthly Lil Death mix. Your favorite DJs offer up their take on the Lil Death concept—which bends genres like dark techno, witch haus and leaned-out trap into a new-generation gothic bass party vibe. This month's edition is mixed by the horror disco lord Antoni Maiovvi. Long live the new flesh…

ABOUT THE MIX:

Word around town is that Antoni Maiovvi is actually an Italo producer from the 80s who's come back from the dead to reclaim his crown. From Gioooorgio, we assume. He's also the Berlin-dwelling founder of Giallo Disco Records—whose absurdly horrific music videos—full of tits, blood, and…baked beans—look like my worst cheesemares come to life. Ominous percussion, oily synths, and satanic mumbles from fellow dark synth devotee Kid Machine, EBM boys Nitzer Ebb and 80s Japanese darkwave artist Tomo Akikawabaya rise out of this voodoo-possessed mix, which finds Maiovvi's Italo fetish complimented by hi-NRG and horror soundtrack samples. Let's dance…let's kill.
