Review by Konstantinos Floridis

Album Review: The Music I Like by Alexia (1999) Alright, let’s talk about The Music I Like by Alexia. If you’re into late '90s dance music with a mix of Euro vibes and house beats, this is the album that’ll slap you right back to the era of glow sticks and baggy jeans. Released in 1999, it’s got everything from Italodance to Hard Trance, and even some Europop sprinkled in for good measure. It’s like a time capsule of what European club culture sounded like back then, and honestly? It’s kind of amazing. The album jumps between genres faster than you can say “Progressive House,” but that’s part of its charm. You’ve got epic remixes galore—seriously, there are so many versions of the title track, The Music I Like, it’s almost overwhelming. But hey, variety is the spice of life, right? Let me break down two tracks that really stuck with me. First up is The Music I Like (Metro Club Mix). This one feels like stepping into a neon-lit club where everyone’s just vibing. The beat builds slowly, teasing you until Alexia’s voice comes in, smooth and confident. It’s not overly complicated, but it doesn’t need to be. There’s something about the way the synths swirl around her vocals—it’s hypnotic. Plus, the energy ramps up just enough to keep you hooked without feeling overdone. I remember hearing this and thinking, “Yeah, this is what dancing should feel like.” Then there’s Gimme Love (Pump Friction vs Precious Paul Club Mix). This track hits different. It’s got this raw edge to it, like it doesn’t care if you’re ready or not—it’s coming for you. The bassline is deep and thumping, and Alexia’s voice has this playful yet commanding tone. It’s one of those songs that makes you wanna throw your hands up and lose yourself in the moment. I mean, who doesn’t love a good “gimme” anthem? It’s impossible not to move to this one. What I love about this album is how it captures the spirit of collaboration. You’ve got Robyx producing, Francesco Alberti mixing, programming, AND engineering—that dude was everywhere—and remix legends like Colour System Inc and Trouser Enthusiasts bringing their A-game. Even the artwork, handled by Veronica Gaido and L. Gasperetti, fits perfectly with the vibe: sleek, bold, and unapologetically ‘90s. But here’s the thing—listening to The Music I Like isn’t just about nostalgia. Sure, it reminds me of when I thought platform sneakers were cool (spoiler: they weren’t), but it’s also a reminder of how experimental dance music used to be. These days, everything feels so polished and predictable. Back then, artists weren’t afraid to take risks, layer weird sounds, and create something that felt alive. So yeah, The Music I Like might not be perfect, but it’s real. And honestly? Sometimes that’s all you need. Now excuse me while I go find my old glow sticks and pretend I’m at an Ibiza rave again. Or maybe I’ll just crank up The Music I Like (Almighty Funky Disco Mix) and dance in my kitchen. Your call.

Bellissima!! Era sul cd compilation del Festivalbar blu. Quanti ricordi per quell'estate 1998 avevo compiuto appena 17 anni ma Il venerdi' o il sabato sera non mi facevano uscire la sera I miei per andare in discoteca. Quindi la sera con le cuffie da DJ in salotto suonavo questa e tante altre tracce dance di quel periodo sognando di essere in discoteca..
