From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cosmic was a nightclub in Lazise, a little town near Verona, on Lago di Garda, in northern Italy.[1] The term Cosmic Disco also refers to the Cosmic club's resident DJ Daniele Baldelli 's signature style of mixing of disco music that was featured there between 1979 and 1984. Baldelli's mixing style stood out for extreme shifts of playback speed (sometimes from 33RPM and 45RPM) and a diverse range of musical styles (including electro, funk, jazz fusion, and Brazilian music)[2] played unusually slow,[3] at roughly 80 to 110 BPM.
