In spring 1978 the magazine Modo, then directed by Alessandro Mendini, sent Basilico to explore the newly emerging phenomenon of the disco, which he later described as a genuine revolution in the system of mass entertainment. Drawing on the architecture and shared imagery of Las Vegas and kitsch to build a world articulated through events and attitudes, Basilico photographed the new temples of music from Piacenza to Rimini, fascinated by the atmosphere of Robert Altman's film Nashville and by Bill Owens's Suburbia. The resulting book, his second, stands as an early and unusually playful counterpoint to the deadpan industrial landscapes that would soon define his reputation.
