“Dante” is a strong advocate for the modern iterations of Italo. Colourful, intelligent and eccentric, it represents Loose Fit’s sound of positively uplifting synth work.

The A1. Dante provides an anthemic homage to late nights at the disco. Nostalgic, gritty and packed full of emotion, Radondo demonstrates his penchant for 80s synths and ear-worm melodies. Whereas ‘Dante’ deals with heady euphoria, ‘Dust’ was cut to settle the score on the dance floor. The ominous bass and processed drums provide a siren call to the ranks of Dark disco. Flip over to the B-side, and you can find two Italo heavyweights on remix duty. Whereas Franz Scala delivers a bold and driven club cut with “Dust”, Jex Brings back the funk with his playful rendition of “Dante”, each idiosyncratic and hella effective in their own right.

Outside of his work under the Radondo moniker, Jimmy Horton is not a man to rest on his laurels. Between time spent composing film scores, running his event night “Tropical Popsicle ”, and recording with his band “Truths”, he has managed to find time to move to Berlin and launch his solo project. Lining up 3 EPs for 2022, an appearance on Berlin’s infamous Hoer radio and support from some of Italo finest, he’s already paved the way for a solid year ahead of him.
