Alfredo gave me this list to accompany the 2014 interview. It’ s been shared a few places since, but I see no harm in sharing it again…

Manuel Gottsching / E2-E4

This fantastic piece of music was the perfect one to play when the club opened the doors. Putting things in place.

Henry Mancini & His orchestra / The Pink Panther Theme

The closing theme, the one that left everybody with a smile on her face – totally a surprise the first time I played it.

Nina Simone / My baby Just Cares For Me

A timeless, sexy and romantic jazz tune that made everybody dance – even the owner of Amnesia.

Gilberto Gil / Toda Menhina Bahiana 

One of the Brazilian records I play, and the one that everybody asked for.

The Thrashing Doves / Jesus On The Payroll

Rock and roll at its best and the one the English people enjoy the most. Great track!

Atahualpa 1530 / Andino 

A key track in all my sets because it changes tempo and gives the opportunity to go from downtempo to house.

George Kranz / Din Daa Daa

Another key track to change tempo and style, and for me a fantastic idea, superb! I used to play the acappella version, very short but super strong.

Prince / When Doves Cry 

One of the most loved Prince records, and very new at the time. What can I say, it’ s a poem set to most incredible peace of ultra modern funk, direct from George Clinton school.

The Woodentops / Why Why Why 

A revolutionary track that made the club explode. Probably half of the people never understood the words but the track transmit so much power that the music was enough.

Joe Smooth / Promised Land

This was perfect. The lyrics were talking about the place we were at that moment. We were there, at the promised land!

Liaisons Dangereuses / Los Ninos del Parque

Belgian track with lyrics in Spanish that was a precursor of much of the European techno that came after.

Icarus / Stone Fox Chase

One of the tracks, in my humble opinion, that originate in some way acid house. 

Mike Post / Theme From Hill Street Blues

As with the Pink Panther Theme I use this to close, and the brothers and sisters reaction again was amazing.

Enzo Avitabile / Black Out

An Italian musician from Naples. I found this funk house track in a warehouse in Milano, with Leo, and we made it a big tune in Amnesia.

Barry White / It’s Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me

One of the lesser known tracks from the big sexy voice,  that would move the whole place, and give opportunity for potential lovers to approach.

Ce Ce Rogers / Someday 

As with Promised Land, this is one of that records that unified the dance floor. Even though  the record is quite mellow, it boomed from the speakers.

Kool Moe Dee / Do You Know What Time It Is? 

This record announced to the dancers that the night was about to end. At the beginning this was took by the crowd as bad news, but later it started to do its job and extra energised the last part of the night.

West Phillips / Tell Me

The b-side of a early house record that have a very frantic piano melody and pumping beat, that put the crowd jumping from the beginning.

The House Master Boyz / House Nation 

The most important house record in Amnesia.. and for a funny reason: Most of the people – that never understood well the words – think that the singer was saying “Amnesia” instead of “House Nation”. I used to play the acappella version, followed by the main mix, and there were nights that the crowd were singing “Amnesia” louder that the record.

The Night writers / Let The Music Use You

One of the first remixes by Frankie Knuckles to reach my hands. The fantastic atmospheric vibe of the track gave us the opportunity cool the beat but keep everyone dancing.

Depeche Mode / Just Can’ t Get Enough (Live Version) 

A concert version of this super song from Depeche Mode. This was one of the peaks of the night, and it was played at every session, mostly at the end of the party.

Tears for Fears / Shout

At the beginning of the dance, when the party start to go up, Shout mixed perfectly with soul music of the times, such as Soul II Soul, or the reggae of, say, Yellowman.

Soul II Soul / Fairplay

Before Jazzy B was a big star, he was in and around the discotheques of Ibiza, and he brought me this record one night. I had a clue idea who he was.

Cyndi Lauper / Time After Time

Another end of the night record that spread love all over the club.

Grace Jones / La Vie En Rose

This classic Edith Piaf ballad was remade by Grace Jones. Grace one night came up to tell me “Please don’t play my songs while I’m here”. I never care, though, ’cos I don’t recognise her and nor do the most of the people there. That was the most important part of the spirit of Amnesia those days. No matter who you were, you were just one more on the dance floor.

Alfredo Fiorito, thank you for the music. Rest In Peace.
