‘Hey Cabrera! is back at Bordello. Following on from Italo Void, this time he arrives with two friends and fellow countrymen in tow: Marta Paradise, the duo of Paolo Ancona and Davide Pozzovivo. A shared passion for the analogue riches of the 1980s cements this new partnership, a passion fully captured in the bold synth‑lines and heady grooves of Go By Night. Bodies swirl in the fog of “Stasera No.” Glittering melodies float above clean beats, shifts swooping and tucking before the unmistakable vocals of Fred Ventura smoulder. The mood drops from disco to basement as “Go Ahead” takes hold. Those addictive hooks remain central, but now they’re teased by breathy samples, orchestral rinses and thick basslines. Whistle blasts and cowbell rumbles introduce the flip. Bright and luminous, vocoder verses carry this late‑night rave straight into sunrise. Tempos fall for the close. Fragile drum patterns form a base from which machined and spoken words intertwine with bubbling 303 lines. A record that captures every moment of the night.’ In stores May 4 ✨ Featuring @fred_ventura_muzik Mastering by mixmasteringlopazz Words by @we_forfeit

NEW MIXTAPE OUT NOW 🎶✨ Agharo is a language, book, philosophy and tarot system created by Jaco Perroud of @sinchicollective where each artist draws a card and builds a mix inspired by its meaning. So, I picked card 30 “Emkel / Summer”. It became the starting point for exploring the transition between what was and what’s coming. The selection moves through a constant dialogue juxtaposing the human and the artificial: the raw instinct of house and disco collides with sharp, futuristic Italo sounds shaped by the tension of the digital age. Human emotion vs synthetic future. Memory vs acceleration. Summer as transformation. Enjoy my journey (better with headphones on 🫧). Link in bio.

New Ep is out today! 💥💥 Hey Cabrera! and Marta Paradise come together around a shared passion for the electronic aesthetic and analogue sounds of the 1980s. “Go By Night” is built from months of reciprocal exchange, with demos and ideas passed back and forth, each taking shape in the other’s hands. The result moves between disco, Italo and underground shades, reflecting a diverse yet remarkably cohesive spectrum of influences. The opener “Stasera No” is driven by a summer vibe: bodies swirl on the dancefloor as shimmering melodies float above clean rhythms, while subtle shifts lead into the unmistakable voice of @fred_ventura_muzik With “Go Ahead”, the mood slides from bright disco into more subterranean territory: the hooks remain central, now wrapped in breathy samples, liquid orchestral touches and deep basslines. The B-side starts with whistles and cowbells introducing “Magico Movimento”, a bright and luminous track where vocoder verses guide this late-night rave all the way into sunrise. For the closing moments, the tempo drops: “Crush” is a hypnotic nursery rhyme referencing icons of Italian culture such as Pasquale Panella and Piero Manzoni, built on drum patterns and bubbling 303 lines. 
Special thanks to @ottokraanen and @bordelloaparigi for believing in our music. Written and produced by Hey Cabrera! and Marta Paradise

So happy to finally have Protopapa’s vinyl in my hands. 💥💥 We first connected with a simple DM right at the start of Covid: a bit of a difficult time for me, as it was for everyone. Together with Stefano, I rediscovered my desire to make music and I will always be grateful to him for that. His dadaist lyrics and infectious enthusiasm were the engine that drove me to write and produce a bunch of the tracks that today make up this album, between remote sessions and studio recordings in Turin, Milan and our beloved Salento. Bringing these songs to life was a truly beautiful journey shared with @fluidostudio @houseofmusic_hom @metatron__group @ilromantico_pierpaolo @helloemmanuelle @hardtondiscoqueen @brunobelissimo @gregoiretine_ @valentinovivace @pierpaperoni Thank you to each and every one of you for making this a reality. Music saves, always.

Super happy to be coming back to Berlin for two special gigs. I’ll be playing for “Thursday X Feinstoff” (special thanks @freudenthal_of_pardonmoi for inviting me) and at Sisyphos. It’s my first time at this magnificent club and I’m buzzing! Btw, I’ve still got two free guest list spots. So if you want to come and dance, just send me a DM 💥💥

New remix! Out today on @mb_disco it’s a 122 BPM modern Italo version of @martin.brodin cover of Tanita Tikaram’s classic “Twist in My Sobriety.” Originally released in 1988 on her debut album Ancient Heart, the song became a worldwide hit thanks to its intimate songwriting and refined, understated melancholy. The remix preserves that emotional core and, with a pulsing bassline and shimmering drums, opens it up to a fresh dancefloor dimension. Featuring the distinctive voice of Alexandra Hamnede it bridges pop memory with late-night momentum.

My new mixtape is out now via @housenest_ofc 
It’s a nocturnal trip across modern and classic Italo (with a small touch of disco and house), where the sound feels lysergic and expansive like neon reflections on wet asphalt. The first part opens up and breathes, leaving room for your thoughts to drift, dissolve and rearrange themselves. But at the core there’s a harder turn: a tight, metallic, almost robotic sequence that hits close and upfront. That contrast is the point: soft-focus hypnosis versus machine-like pressure. Two moods rubbing against each other until they spark

The power of Italo Disco. Often imitated, rarely reached. Hailing from Turin in northern Italy we have a new artist on Frank Music named @hey.cabrera who presents his new dance single „The Moment“. Having spent his youth with The Stooges et al, Gianluca went more Dance in recent years with appearances on Bordello a Parigi for instance. „The Moment“ has it all: The ever-well-known bassline, melodies & pianos for days and topped with additional catchy vocal phrases. It’s exactly this kind of unique vibe you only hear when it’s truly made in Italy. Additional club mix by Giovanni Francesco Alberto aka @johannes_albert_ Who does not want to live in „The Moment“? We do! Ending with a Pino quote today: „L’ho beccata in discoteca con lo sguardo da serpente“. Out now - link in Bio 🔥 Artwork: @granada_hills

Hey! Hey! Hey! 💿💿💿 Got some new music coming your way! My new EP “Exposed” is out on all digital platforms. The title track is a sexy night-time vibe, mixing Italo, house and a healthy dose of that 2000s dancefloor electroclash… You know, like Tiga’s early singles, to give you an idea. Or at least, that was my thought. What do you guys think? 
But wait, there’s more! Magnificent @frank_music_label is also dropping a double A-side vinyl at the same time, with both “Exposed” and “The Moment” (my EP from last summer). And of course, it’ll have two awesome club mixes by my friend Giovanni Alberto @johannes_albert_ Huge thanks to him for always supporting my music and believing in what I do. 🙌
