Mixed by Erry (2023)

Mixed by Erry (2023). Mixed by Erry: Directed by Sydney Sibilia. With Luigi D'Oriano, Giuseppe Arena, Emanuele Palumbo, Francesco Di Leva. The rise and fall of the pirate mixtape empire of three brothers from Naples and their "Mixed by Erry"-trademarked cassettes that brought pop music to 1980s Italian youth.

“This is a story thatu0026#39;s one part funny, and one part sad. All Erry wanted to do was to be known as a DJ. Barred from doing so, he created an illegal business worth billions of lira in the late 80s reproducing pop music of that time for young Italians at a cheap price. Perhaps unwittingly, he created a huge market for his unusual product.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story of the three brothers is fascinating. As young as they were, they thought through ingenious ways to produce and market audio tapes mixed by Erry. This started music piracy in Italy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn a way, Erry was innocent because all what he ever wanted was to share pop music with his contemporaries. He never imagined at the beginning that he was doing something wrong.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s an entertaining movie. The writers succeed in compressing all the highlights of the bold, smart enterprise of Giuseppe, Angelo and Enrico Frattasio into a watchable feature film. The actors do justice to the story. Itu0026#39;s a cohesive story thanks to the director, Sydney Sibelia. Bravo!”
