When we got to know each other better while forming Vesuvio Vortex, we were very surprised to discover that we have the same favourite film: 'Kung Fury'. 🌋💥
This absurd film by writer, director and lead actor David Sandberg (@laserunicorns ) is a parody of martial arts and police films from the 1980s. Because of this 80s vibe, it's not that surprising that we both love this film. Especially since the film music was composed by Mitch Murder and Lost Years (and one song performed by David Hasselhoff!).
@mitch.murder has also been included in our new mix on Soundcloud. Enjoy listening to it, and don't forget to watch Kung Fury (again) before Kung Fury 2 (finally) comes out!🌋🤚
On Friday, March 27, we’ll make our debut in Ghent at the amazing @biscotti.disco.affair
We’ll be playing on the stage hosted by @bordelloaparigi ,and we’re truly honored to share the night with so many of our favorite artists.
Ahead of our upcoming EP, we’re releasing a second FREE download, dedicated to Joost de Jong — a dear friend who played a key role in bringing us together through music.
This track is our personal take on 'Love & Pride' by King, one of Joost’s all-time favorites. 'Love & Pride' was first released in 1984 and became a massive worldwide hit a year later.
Apart from a small piece of guitar riff, we didn't sample anything – everything was recreated in the Vortex of the Vesuvio, with our arpeggiated basslines and housy Italo–inspired drums. We abstained from using our own vocals for the singing parts, but when we play it live, we notice that the audience sings along anyway.
Special thanks to M.A. Spaventi mastering!
We’ve launched a new monthly mix series, Vulcanic Treasures from the Vortex, created in our studio in the harbour of Rotterdam. Each edition features tracks that inspire us, paired with visuals drawn from our own creative universe.
The image accompanying this release shows a vintage 1975 Spin-Out pinball machine, a Formula 1–themed electro-mechanical classic by D. Gottlieb & Co. With its bold racing artwork, metal ramps and retro score reels, it captures the golden age of pinball design. Known for pioneering the modern flipper, Gottlieb crafted Spin-Out with the distinctive sounds, lights and mechanics that made their seventies machines iconic—a true snapshot of pinball history. A restored example of this machine was recently sold at auction for 8,000 euros.

Grateful! Two of our tracks were played in this iconic B2B set for @loone_berlin , delivered by two of our favorite DJs — Rotterdam legend @davidvunk and the amazing @charlieszum .
The first track is one of our latest unreleased productions , the second one, ‘Audio Vesuvio’, is dropping soon on our debut EP Danza Nel Vulcano via @radio_tornado records
Stay tuned — more music will follow soon!
In anticipation of our upcoming EP ‘Danza Nel Vulcano’ on @radio_tornado records, we’re dropping two free downloads.
The first one is a loose interpretation of ‘Demon God’ by The Intergalactic Orchestra — a space horror disco record from 1979 and part of the album Supernova. We gave it our own twist, adding vocoders, brass stabs and Italo-ish basslines to spice it up.
Big thanks to @zeesierk for inspiring us to create this and @dennis.van.den.berg_dynamicd
for being the first to give the track airtime on his amazing operator radio show!

Remembering the Vesuvio Vortex debut DJ set at MONO for @radio_tornado - warming up for @marsmandj & @davidvunk and such. While celebrating the birthday of our orange king (not Trump), we played some old, some new, and some of our own soon-to-erupt tracks. Next week, we’ll follow up our DJ debut with our live debut at WORM for @eendrachtfestival . See you there? 🌋🌪
