Effetto Joule has been played on NTS in shows including The Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show w/ Charlie Bones, featured first on 17 February 2017. Songs played include Mechanika, Stars Your Memory and Videotone (live).

Effetto Joule began as a 4-piece electro-synthpop band from Bologna, Italy, in 1987. The band was comprised of brothers Valerio (vocals) and Flavio Biagi, Valerio Tassinari, and Massimo Chericoni (who would later leave the band). Effetto Joule's sound was, for me, instantly catchy. Their tracks are full of rich and warm melodies layered across pulsing electronic beats.
