Happy music to party, in an emotional vertigo perpetually balanced between the desire for freedom and the pursuit of happiness, between 50s Pin Up, rockabilly and patchanka made in Puglia. Retro 50s atmospheres, polka dot prints, flowers and scarves in the hair, dancing barefoot to the rhythm of rock'n'roll. Sunday 30 June from 16 pm at Dum Dum Republic the welcome return of the lady of scratch, "MissPia Vintage Dj". An event that has now become a cult for the independent republic of Cilento, which will see MissPia alternate at the console with Tuppi Dj, with his Patchanka made in Puglia, in which funk, hip hop, vintage sounds, vinyl selections, swing pop, reggae and acid jazz blend together. A sound crossroads in the South, between Campania and Salento, characterized by the energy and warmth of a musical research that from the Mediterranean goes beyond, to the south of the world.
An incredible taste for vintage and a fantastic irony that make her performances overwhelming and fun. A character halfway between Bettie Page and Keely Smith: with the beauty of the first and the irony of the second. Charismatic and sunny, Misspia manages to make people dream and make spirits vibrate. Hers is a fabulous world. In her, the mask and the woman merge into pure artistic expression. You could define her as a character halfway between Bettie Page and Keely Smith: with the beauty of the first and the irony of the second. A touch of red lipstick, the trip with her faithful friend Louise, the umbrella positioned near the turntables and the 45s on vinyl that start spinning, with an elegant and seductive mood, full of the enveloping warmth of the lands of the south.
She started spinning her records more than 10 years ago during evenings with friends, now she has become one of the most famous DJs in southern Italy. The sensitivity that characterizes her is highlighted in the ability to choose the right mood at the right time: the refinement in choosing the most suitable musical piece thus creates an atmosphere that is different every time, powerful and never affected. Vinyl is the common thread of her evenings based on music in which something absolutely familiar creates atmospheres of yesteryear and ironic, recalling the past, present and future, all brought together for a one-of-a-kind event: swing, rock'n'roll, rockabilly, beat.
Misspia's sound starts from Edith Piaf, Etta James, Louis Prima, Sam Butera to Sha Na Na, Royal Crown Revue, Chuck Berry, Nick Curran, Kitty Daisy & Lewis, then moves on to Italian music from Buscaglione to the Primitives, the Rokes, etc. She has collaborated with many groups and DJs from the swing, rock'n'roll and other scenes: Guy e gli Specialisti, The rock'n'roll Kamikazes, Rekkabilly, Bob Cillo, Roy Paci, I Ragazzi del Giubocs, Nicola Difino (D- Fix Foodj), burlesque show with Roxy Rose, Dolly Lamour, Janet Fischietto, etc. No barriers, but walls that collapse for the long-awaited double live set at sunset that, as the evening falls, from 21 pm to midnight, will leave room for the "fourth half" of the Metis Cup - The popular rugby tournament against all forms of racism. The Pu.Ba.La collective will overwhelm the dance floor. Selectors, vinyl lovers, in a search for tropical and Latin sounds, between funk, soul, rock, highlife, afrodisco, cumbia, funanà, samba, bossa nova, forró, batucada and world music. “Building your own system, lugging speakers, mixers and turntables up and down beaches, pine forests, mountains, steps, and still fighting every day to conquer spaces, visibility, acoustic dignity, in an often desolate territorial reality, full of restrictions, elitist and increasingly hipsterized in every aspect, opting for the free and popular, offering music that is not heard around, between satisfactions and bitterness, can only be defined in two ways: crazy or romantic”, underline the three selectors, PU aka O Falso Bahiano, BA aka Danny Kingston and LA aka Dj Cyp-riot, who have come to offer their own different musical visions by mixing music following concerts of recognized artists such as Orlando Julius and the Instituto Mexicano del Sonido, collaborating with international musicians such as Zion Train, Insintesi, Dandy Junky, Dj Grissino, Lord Sassafras and Dj Fluchanka. “The records, 33 and 45 rpm, that we have been collecting for years, rise to prominence by flooding with pleasant rhythms those who have attentive ears and a heart always open to new knowledge – they explain – but music is also dance and is made to be danced at any time and in any movement. A ritual of liberation, a source of happiness”.
