Biografía

Roberto Lodola is a D.J. , composer and Italian record producer. His career began at the disco Mondo Blu of Busseto (Parma) on 1982- He’s certainly one of the main famous deejays promoting a musical genre called “Afro-Funky-Cosmic”, a mixture of several musical strands like : Electronic, Balearic Sound, Afrobeat, Funky, Disco, Brasilian, Jazz Fusion, Blaxploitation, Rare Groove, Oriental, Reggae, etc…. His continued research of records, not properly created for the dance floor, addressed him, early in his careers, to approach the Brazilian music, which he inserted immediately in his musical Play-list. In the early 80’s, he started to collaborate with the African percussionist George Aghedo, that often played his percussions together in his DJ sets in the disco Futura in Parma. From this collaboration arose several successful recording productions, such as “ Zanzibar Helen”, that became theme song of a TV program on Channel 5 and Marimba do Mar. These two songs are still today great hits played by the most famous D.J.'s of the Balearic Islands. In the year 1983, he introduced the analogic synthesizer, named SH101 Roland and the electronic drums: then since 1987 started to use the sampler in order to realize arrangements and real live remix. Just experiencing these new techniques, on 1991 created “ African Rhythms”, that was published under the pseudonym “Rhythm Factory”, This production had a great success in UK, so that the version “ A Touch of Jazz” attracted the attention of Gilles Peterson. In 2005, the song was included in two prestigious international compilations: the French “Saint Germain des Prés Cafe’ vol.7″ label Wagram (Buddha Bar) and the London-based “Get this party started!”, on the “Expansion”. In the early 90’s, his relentless pursuit of music, pushed him to the renewal of all strands in the landscape “Afro Funky-Alternative Sound”, which had already’ treated previously. Consequently he started ‘to propose songs with more’ modern sounds, but in line with the past and, as a good lover of Brazilian music, he played the newborn “Samba Reggae / Axe” , creating a genuine trend, which influenced the new line of alternative discos, called “ New Afro Style-Ethno Beat-World Music”, that he carried out as a resident DJ for more’ than 15 years at the disco Primastella of Bergamo. Since 2008 he start ‘the project of One-Night 70 No Limit, dedicated to music Funky, Obscure Disco, Balearic, Nu Disco and Rare Groove, who still collect a huge success, at the Le Ruote Disco Club. In the year 2016 he shares with Daniele Baldelli the One-Night "Trittico" dedicated to the sound of Cosmic, Futura and Baia Degli Angeli. During the Covid-19 period, he produced numerous new songs and several remixes for artists from the Balearic area. In the summer of 2021 he leaves for Ibiza, where he becomes resident of the Nagai and Guest of the "Homies" Party at the iconic Pikes Hotel, Sunset Ashram, Chirincana, Mesa Ibiza, Ibiza Sonica e Playa Sol Radio. Today he played music in over 250 Italian and European clubs.
