Hugh Bullen – Alisand

A heavier Italo disco cut as they come, Italian producer Hugh Bullen made his mark on the mid-80s scene with slick, synth-driven productions such as this; ‘Alisand’ was first written and arranged by Enzo Vallicelli in early 1985, and nets the era’s butter-fly vibe; well mechanical drum and bass judders undergird a dashing, hip rap verse. No updates or remixes necessary; its original sparkle and momentum is preserved, owing to an ineffable quality in Bullen’s work, a sound often associated with the wave of Italian dancefloor hits from labels like Many Records.
