Rodion Set to Release ‘Generator’ LP

Published by
For years we have dubbed Italian musician Rodion as one of the kings of the nu-disco scene. The classically trained pianist who released his 'Romantic Jet Dance' album back in 2007 on Gomma, has also dropped a slew of singles including a few records with fellow Italian disco conneseur Bottin. On April 1st, Rodion will release his new LP 'Generator' on Nein Records. Consisting of ten tracks in total, the album features Rome-born Rodion exploring further aspects of space-out disco, iced with pure hedonism. Dark, skittering effects are intertwined with freaky synth playing, often times seeming suitable for treks to outter space or all-night party sessions at the Playboy mansion. What remains at a high throughout the LP are the compositions and arrangement themselves.
