“We’re kicking off winter with a flashback to summer,” says veteran Belarusian musician and DJ Schmoltz, a core member of Radio Plato, about his latest mix.

Clocking in at almost an hour, the mix radiates pure positivity with carefully curated Italo House vibes. A devoted fan of old-school dance music, Schmoltz aims to remind us of the roots and essence of house — a term he feels has recently been applied too broadly, “almost everything that isn’t ‘techno.’”

Having already taken the mix for a spin, we can confidently say it’s more than a collection of tracks — it’s a journey through time and space. Picture this: it’s the early 90s, and Italian producers are adapting Chicago drum machine grooves, infusing them with Mediterranean hedonism. Listeners, dancers, and studio-equipped clubs—already primed by the Italo-disco wave of the 80s—embrace this sound wholeheartedly. A little more time, and it would sweep across Europe, only to morph into Eurodance, losing much of its unique charm along the way.
