the leo magic orchestra ist leo zagami
with his first release on tummy touch mere moments away (the
diablo-funk-groove melange that is the magickal childe), it seems
appropriate to offer up some background on our most unusual
italian friend to date, leo young.
stamped through with all the hallmarks of a spiral-eyed,
baby-eating loonball, leo's history is nothing if not colourful.
kicking off his djing career through the unlikely medium of
catholic church radio stations in his native italy, leo zagami
(aka leo young) found himself under the spotlight as the youngest
broadcast dj in his country after playing his own show at the
tender age of 13 back in 1983.
by '86 leo had achieved national prominence through regular
exposure on commercial networks countrywide, before taking up a
residency in the once infamous london celeb haunt legends in 1987
(apparently no less a figure than mick hucknall honed his
party-hopping ginger wankster skills there by hitting on scared
young girls with that awful beaming orange face of his).
the following year saw leo reach the dmc national finals and shift
further into the burgeoning rave scene that would consume him for
the following decade. recognised as the man responsible for
organising italy's first rave in rome back in '89, l'impero dei
sensi was a three day non-stop extravaganza that galvanised leo's
subsequent musical activities.
further parties lured detroit originators underground resistance
and juan atkins to europe for the first time, while he also takes
the credit for giving the prodigy their first gig outside the uk.
by 1991, leo had initiated the seminal friday uonna club in rome -
another first in his country, combining as it did art exhibitions
with an eclectic stew of house, disco and detroit techno sounds -
before opening the underground in the catacombs of constantine.
soon after, controversy blew up around leo's reclaiming of a
catholic church as the venue for his sunday morning cosmic house
events, which went on to run for six heady months before
intervention of a non-divine nature led to the plug being pulled.
with some thirty records already released since 1987 on a brace of
quality imprints from mbg to tresor, and a djing reputation built
on countless world-wide performances and legendary 12 hour sets -
perhaps most memorably at berlin's tresor, where leo was a fixture
between '95 and '96 - the man's contribution to dance music is
significant to say the least.
