Romanian composer #AdrianEnescu helped pioneer electronic music in eastern Europe & though his early works were often #Experimental, his work became more refined as he matured & he’d go on to score several ballet productions & dozens of films- “Autostrada” was a Starck fave

French model/actor musician/DJ #PhilippeKrootchey was Starck Club’s very 1st DJ but was quickly fired for not taking the job seriously & drinking excessively. His music choices were actually quite good- like Antares “Arabian Dance” (1978) & Adrian Enescu “Autosrada” (1983)
