Italians Do It Better have surprise released the fourth instalment of their After Dark. compilation series today.
The fourth in the series comes after the third in 2020, following the first in 2007 and the second in 2013.
The compilation features tracks from Desire, Sally Shapiro, Glüme, Mothermary, Farah, Joon Wolfram and more.
The label owner Johnny Jewel’s most well-known act, the Chromatics called it a day last year.
In a statement, Megan Louise & Johnny Jewel of Italians Do It Better said:
It is with immense pleasure & excitement that we share After Dark 4 with you. 30 artists from 11 countries deliver 27 tracks for the endless summer of your dreams. Clocking in at just under two hours, the melodies have been soundtracking our weekly night drives between our studio in the desert & our offices in Los Angeles. The rhythms have been working their magic as secret weapons on the dancefloor in our DJ sets.
Recorded around the globe…our roster of artists explores Italo Disco, Electro, AOR, Film Score, Minimal Wave, Punk, Dream Pop, Spoken Word, Outrun & more.
It’s real…It’s intimate…It’s Everything you ever needed…
Thank you for listening.
