The selection of logos, drawn from the artist’s private archive, is a visual testimony of a unique and unrepeatable Italian historical moment—from brutalist provincial discos to the trendy circuits of big Italian cities of the post economic boom. More than 8,000 discos were surveyed during the mid-1980s in a nation always on the move, in constant search of revelry. Looking for La Grande Baldoria. ⁠ ⁠ Never Sleep is a multi faceted platform born in 2017 from the eclectic mind of the Italian dj and artist Alberto Guerrini (aka Gabber Eleganza) as an archive to collect the aesthetic of the gabber scene via fanzines, musicology, fashion and subculture; evolving into an independent label with its own book publications, music releases and clothing line.⁠ ⁠ See you Friday! ⁠ ⁠ @neversleeplife⁠ @gabbereleganza⁠ ⁠
