In March of 2007, we organized a party in one of the few clubs of Venice, called “Vecchia Malvasia”, to set up the atmoshpere of a dancing club for the shooting of an advertising campaign we were doing with Lorenzo Vitturi. The party resulted a memorable event, even if it wasn’t our main purpose: three different dance-club music dj-sets in a club crowded with people dancing endlessly until dawn.
Seeing that surprising outcome, we decided to repeat the event every mounth. unfortunately the club closed in the aftermath and we decided to export the party that took the name we used as claim in the first poster: Tisko Tansi Disco Dansi (quotation taken from a Finnish dance video/tutorial found on youtube). We designed the layout’s grid for the posters, to make the party recognizable even if it was being held at different locations. 
We immediately clarified the purposes of this “club”:

  1. To call djs that don’t play usually in Venice
  2. To create a dance panorama in Venice, as the other european cities
  3. To encourage the interest about underground cultures, that hardly get to Italy
  4. To give youth the opportunity to dance for free

We’ve inveted to play: Discodromo, The Sight Below, Sergio Wow, Cristiano Spiller, Rubini from Berlin, Ivn, Blondie Equal Stupid and the resident dj Buttanga.

During the third season, that we began with the partnership with Pulse project, hosting artists like The Sight Below, we encountered hurdles that forced us to give up the project.

Shown above is the layout grid for the parties, an A4 coloured paper sheet, xerox printed on one side. We always keep the same grid and we choose a different coloured paper on each season, to point out the new edition. Shown below the invitation of the first party at Vecchia Malvasia club.
