The music had to be great and able to be presented as a stand alone album – like the best “Music Library” releases of the past, on labels like Italy’s Sermi, Germany’s Bruton, France’s MP2000 and the UK’s DeWolfe. And, like those albums, it had to work as easy, one-stop clearance for background cues in film and television production and, as producers have been indulging since the 1990s, for sampling.

Unusual Sounds: The Hidden History of Library Music
In the heyday of low-budget television and scrappy genre filmmaking, producers who needed a soundtrack for their commercial entertainments could reach for a selection of library music: LPs of stock recordings whose contents fit any mood required.
Unusual Sounds is a deep dive into a musical universe that has, until now, been accessible only to producers and record collectors; a celebration of this strange industry and an examination of its unique place at the nexus of art and commerce.

Don Carlos – The Father of Italian Dream House
“Back in those years if you were not elegant, you remained off the premises”
Carlo Troja (aka Don Carlos) lives in the northern Italian city of Varese – a small yet perfectly-formed settlement adorned with art nouveau villas. His sprawling DJ career began in the late ’70s and early ’80s. His production debut launched with a glorious bang in 1991, with the genre-defining ‘Alone’ arriving on Irma offshoot, Calypso Records. The track stood out in the most elegant of manners: managing to float with ethereal majesty above the often brash, obvious chords and hyped snare rolls of many of its piano house contemporaries. Bewitching pads, emotive chord progressions and levitating synths glide over crisp drums, delicate percussion and mood-enhancing bass – a meditative dream house archetype that magnificently endures to this day.
From ‘The Man Behind the Mystery’ – Juno Records interview here
Don Carlos Mixtape for Le Visiteur Online
Don Carlos put together an hour mix of classic Italian Dream House vibes for for Le Visiteur Online and quite simply who better to do it. Listen here
Sueno Latino
Sueño Latino the band was Andrea Gemolotto, Claudio Collino, Davide Rizzatti, Riccardo Persi. In 1989, the group released the ambient house classic “Sueño Latino.” The track is based on Manuel Göttsching’s album-length E2-E4. In a later release (the Winter Version), Göttsching himself added guitar parts to the track.
Italian Dream House Origins
NOTE: Not to be confused with Italo Disco. At the tail end of the 1980s, a new take on deep house began to emerge from Italian studios. ‘Dream house’ drew inspiration from key U.S deep house records of the period – the spacey melodiousness of Larry Heard’s productions, and the rich jazziness of tracks originating in New Jersey in particular – but sounded distinctly different. Its’ ‘head-in-the-clouds’ feel – all rich chords, tactile basslines, fluid piano lines and starry electronics – made ‘dream house’ a uniquely Italian proposition. Lots of love with Lots of Arp synths, 909 drum machines and piano.
Mixmag presents 15 of the best ‘Golden Era’ Italian House Tracks here
Vibraphone Records / The True Underground Sound of Rome
Music Collective born during the dawn of the ’90s, THE TRUE UNDERGROUND SOUND OF ROME has interpreted the native House verb of Chicago & Detroit according to a vision steeped in electronics destined then to mark history.

Orbital – Belfast
On 7 January 1991, Orbital released the III EP, the group’s third single, which contained the blissful masterpiece Belfast on its B-side.
