OSPITI DEL SOMBRERO CLUB: FABRIZIO PALLINO

Fabrizio, o Pallino, è un caro amico pugliese, Mod, che da qualche anno vive ad Amsterdam. Oltre a mettere dischi a diverse serate ad Amsterdam, e non solo, suona anche in diversi gruppi, tra cui uno che a me piace davvero tanto, ma ne parla nella sua Bio. Era da molto che volevo invitarlo al Sombrero, ed ora è giunto il suo momento. 


 
Fabrizio "Pallino" (Amsterdam / Taranto)

I’m a dedicated Mod-ernist since 1979, always been a very active member of the scene.
Musician, I sing and play guitar with the Amsterdam-based R&B band Working Voodoo Club. Long experience as dj, spinning records everywhere in Europe, from Italy to UK, Germany, Denmark, and of course Holland, where I live since 2000. My main genres include R&B, Mod-Jazz, Boogaloo, Early Soul.
My main goal as dj is to have a packed dancefloor with everybody dancing their head off ‘till dawn!
It is very difficult for me to make a top 5, as I consider all my records massive floorfillers…(yes I am very mod-est…;-) so here’s just 5 of my latest purchases, for your listening pleasure…however there’s so much more in my dj box!

Big Mama Thornton – Hound Dog (’69 version) - Mercury
Marie Knight – Grasshopper Baby – Mercury
Oscar Brown, Jr. – Signifyin’ Monkey – Columbia
The Charmers – The Snake – Tahoe
John Lee Hooker – Money - Impulse
