Sometimes the best way to understand the present and imagine the future is to delve into the past. That is, if you can manage to not get stuck there like Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madness or indeed many of us algorithmically bear-trapped into reliving our teenage years by Spotify and its self-soothing, ultimately dissatisfying canonic playlist spoonfeeding.

Iraina Mancini is a musician who has the kind of impeccable taste in 60s and 70s records that has made her an in-demand DJ as well as a cult hero who gleefully revels in the cream of those decades as a magic mix of Bardot/Gainsbourg’s Bonnie and Clyde, the blood red Giallo scream queens and Nancy Sinatra with her walking boots on.
