Alexander Robotnick

Fuzz Dance Classics is a definitive compilation bringing together the essential electro anthems of Alexander Robotnick from the golden age of Italian synth-disco. Originally released in 1983 on the legendary Fuzz Dance series, this collection is now released for the first time in this comprehensive form by Spittle Dependance in 2022.

The electronic wizard Maurizio Dami (the man behind the moniker) crafted these pieces at the legendary Studio Emme in Florence, working alongside producers Arlo Bigazzi and Giampiero Bigazzi. What emerged were proto-techno blueprints that would ripple across the Atlantic, influencing the genesis of Detroit techno and shaping the house sound emerging from Chicago.

Essential tracks like the peerless Problèmes D'Amour, Computer Sourire, Dance Boy Dance, C'est La Vie, and Jump showcase Robotnick's mastery of analog synths and his uncanny ability to balance cold electronic precision with dancefloor warmth. Each track feels sculpted, deliberate, yet utterly groove-oriented.

This is the first time these recordings have been compiled in this form, making it essential for anyone serious about Italo-disco, synth-pop, and the prehistory of modern electronic music. A true collector's item and a window into one of electronic music's most vital moments.
