A rework series by WHODAMANNY, a member of MYSTIC JUNGLE TRIBE and a key artist on PERIODICA RECORDS, hailing from the Naples EARLY SOUNDS scene! A rework of GIOIA’s “No Secrets” (1990)—a hidden gem of Italo-pop mid-tempo breaks that, despite being reissued in 2023, is still hard to come by—created directly from the original tape. Also check out the B-side, featuring JAY & JASON’s “Breaking” (1988), known for its distinctive, raw rap style.
Track List

A key figure in the Naples synth-pop and electronic dance music scene, WHODAMANNY—known for releases on labels like *GRAVITY GRAFFITI* and *UNTHANK*, and currently a core artist at the highly popular *PERIODICA RECORDS*—presents this highly anticipated project! The highlight is undoubtedly the rework of GIOIA’s “No Secrets.” While the A1 track—featuring a vocal cover by HUGO IGLESIAS OLMOS—is certainly noteworthy, the “No Secrets (Whodamanny Ambient Version)” (sample 1) is particularly skillful, making the most of the original track’s laid-back, floating drums while smoothing out the high frequencies.
