"Discomania rework launches new Four Flies series aimed at bringing the legacy of Italian film and library music into the world of international clubbing. One of Piero Umiliani's most dance-y tracks ever is finally available again on 12" vinyl, both in its original version and in a special edit retouched by Jolly Mare that further increases its dancefloor potential. 'Discomania' was recorded by Umiliani in 1978 under the moniker Rovi (one of the many aliases he used at the time to avoid saturating the Italian library music market with his name), and sounds wonderfully in tune with the then-emerging cosmic disco scene. Moreover, 'Discomania' enjoys a special place in Italian pop culture, having entered the collective imagination of national TV viewers between 1981-1987, when it was used as the closing theme song for RAI television football program 90° Minuto. This single launches Reloved, a new series from Four Flies in which accomplished DJs and producers rework tunes from Italian golden age soundtracks and library music. Choosing Piero Umiliani for the first release in the series was almost inevitable. And who better than Jolly Mare, one of the label's greatest friends and collaborators, to put a contemporary spin on Umiliani's original track."
