Between the end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties Italy became the link between American Disco-Funk and European Disco. From Italy came some Dance productions that conquered the charts and Dance floors worldwide . Amongst these productions the name AGO really stands out for originality. His way of singing, moving and stealing the show is unique. The AGO persona on whole, perfectly incorporates eighties Disco-Dance aesthetics, where the password is state-of-art entertainment made from a perfectly balanced music and look . First “You Make Me Do It” , a lilting Crossover-Funk characterized by searing and syncopated sonorities, followed by “For You” which went Gold in 1983 which shows a skilful mix of melodic Disco and metropolitan Funk, characterized by its firm gait and its captivating singing. This established AGO as one of the main protagonists in the Italian and International Club-Culture, while his records end up in the world’s most accredited DJs briefcases. Over the following years AGO’s activities became unstoppable. While playing the world’s best venues as DJ and singer, “Electric Cucaracha” , “Chinese Eyes” , “Computer In My Mind” , “I Want You” and “It’s All Right” would follow shortly. In 2012 , Alberto Cerbai changed upon a completely different AGO. Happily married and a father of two beautiful kids, but now also a more mature man and artist. Although it was pleasing to see that he had as much inexhaustible vitality and energy as ever. After collaborating as producer to the “Gritare’ Lentamente” footage , I decided to become AGO’s new producer and to embark on a big restyling operation . Thanks to the collaboration with the Sounday, the website www.agopresta.it and the Ago Presta Youtube channel have been set up,the whole interfaced with the Facebook pages Ago Presta (9,500 likes) and Ago Presta bis (3366 friends) . The Sounday manages the positioning of pieces of music on digital platforms as well . After getting in touch with Michele Violante again, the author of many of the previous hits, a new course was begun in the studio. Celebrating the first thirthy years of his career , a revised version of the hit “For You” hit the stores, along with a footage of the same title (6750 plus visualizations so far) . Encouraged by this operation’s success, Agostino Presta - stage name AGO, released a new captivating single in 2013 called The Power Of Disco which has recently been added to the Youtube channel, both the cut and the visual . (About 3,000 visualizations). In the same year AGO played three California dates (23 - 24 - 25 Aug 2013) during the “I AM THE FUNK TOUR” festival as a guest star . After recently being in touch with Fernando Capecchi’s Vegastar agency dates for AGO’s exhibitions have begun to be scheduled . In 2014, as vinyl returns to play a greater role on the worldwide market, the idea of pressing and releasing on vinyl and postponing the digital release to stir interest and curiosity from the mass media takes form . A new EP titled “IN THE CAVE” is now finished and will be put on the market in a run of 1,000 numbered copies, in the shape of 180grams vinyl which contains 4 previously unreleased tracks. Worthy of a special mention are its cover and its doily both printed with the quad-chromatic technique. Regarding some of the previous releases, as already mentioned, “In The Cave” comes with two Youtube videos (the “For You” remake and “The Power Of Disco”) and the “In The Cave” footage which is currently in the offing . Looking forward to hearing from you and we thank you in advance for your interest and any attention or advice you can give to us.
