Roland Radaelli

Disco Magic UK

Roland Radaelli is a record producer, music business executive and academic with over 30 years of experience in the music industry as well as 20 years as a university lecturer.

Born in Italy, Roland moved to the UK in the late 80s and opened a commercial recording studio near Barbican tube station called Club Studios while at the same time freelancing as engineer at the legendary Hollywood Studios in Clapton and the then newly built Disco Mix Club studios in Slough.

Many of the tracks he produced in his own studio were licensed to UK and European labels, among them Discomagic in Italy.

In 1992 Roland founded Disco Magic UK while continuing to work as producer and remixer on several UK charting releases.

In 2002, after being awarded a BA in Commercial Music by the University of Westminster, he founded the Music Management & Studio Production BA course at Buckinghamshire New University, a course he run for 15 years until 2017, when he decided to return to full-time music production and revamp Disco Magic UK.

Since 2018 Roland has added to the label’s catalogue with 20 vinyl releases and reissues such as the classic “Action!” by Alfredo as well as 25 CD album and single releases and over 200 digital remasters from the labels back catalogue.

Roland produces dance music with original early 1990s equipment under the name of Dance Music Unplugged.
