Rewind to the 90s
Remember the vibrant era of neon lights, platform sandals, and MTV dominating living rooms across the globe?
In that golden age of pop music, Swedish group Ace of Base emerged as more than just stars; they became cultural icons. Ulf Ekberg, a friend of the Berggren siblings – Jenny, Linn and Malin – captivated audiences with their unique sound, a captivating blend of infectious pop hooks, Eurodance beats, and introspective lyrics. Tracks like “The Sign,” “All That She Wants,” and, of course, “Wheel of Fortune” became instant anthems, selling millions of albums and securing their place in pop music history.
Fast Forward to a Modern Dance Revival: While the 90s may seem like a distant memory, dance music trends move in cycles, and elements of that era are experiencing a thrilling resurgence.
One prominent trend is the revival of italodance, a subgenre of Eurodance characterized by euphoric melodies, driving basslines, and larger-than-life vocals. Pioneered by Italian artists like Gigi D’Agostino and Eiffel 65, italodance dominated the early 2000s and continues to influence contemporary music. Listen closely to current hits by David Guetta, Calvin Harris, and even Kygo, and you’ll hear echoes of those classic italodance elements.
Enter M.A.B.: Italodance Revivalists at the Helm
At the forefront of this exciting revival stands M.A.B. (from initial letters of Magna Romagna, Adeejay and BenceK) an electronic trio reimagining classic dance sounds for a modern audience. The trio embodies the essence of the movement:
- Genna (Simone Gennari) from Magna Romagna: A dance music lover veteran with 20 years of experience in italodance production, having collaborated in the past with legendary figures like Gigi D’Agostino. He brings his vast knowledge and passion to the table.
- Adeejay (Adrian Lupu): Fueled by a lifelong love for italodisco and Eurodance, his dedication translates into every production, infusing it with an authentic touch.
- Bence Kotvics: This Hungarian dance music producer rounds out the trio with his proven track record of successful collaborations, adding a fresh perspective to the mix.
