Now for some Italian flavored Disco. "Café" by Disco Delivery Sound (DD Sound) is the song that put A. & C. LaBionda on the Disco map.
The version of Cafe on this record is an almost stripped down instrumental/dub which was remixed by the late Jonathon Fearing of New York's 12 West discotheque. The original version of this song is radically different from Fearing's remix in that it has the full vocals and is more orchestrated. The La Bionda brothers also did work under the name La Bionda.

CAFE is a DISCO CLASSIC! It was wildly exciting on the dance floor, so much was going on. A very easy song to mix in and out of. I didn't remix this one too often, it was very strong, and didn't need any enhancement. Almost ten minutes long, it always packed the floor. A must play during the PRIME TIME Hours. On my scale from 1-10, CAFE gets an easy 10.
