Subject: Italo Disco - the lesson for beginners
Written By: migi on 08/01/04 at 2:20 pm
:D I've just found the new sound genre from the 80s! Great songs! Especially the year 1983 was really interesting when songs like Ryan Paris - La dolce vita and Rigreiro - Vamos a la playa came to the european dance floors.
Now I'm asking from our experienced users which songs where your favorites from this interesting genre?

(Gulp!)
The dreaded 'Vamos A La Playa' (Wo-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh!) followed yours truly around like a bad smell all throughout my stay in Ibiza in 1983...that, and 'Dolce Vita', were fairly atypical Euro-dance fodder for the time...
It wasn't until later that decade, and into the next, that our European cousins' dance music really began to be respected - starting with the 'Italo House' craze (Black Box anyone?)...
But the early stuff still retains a bit of charm...

Don't forget the godfather of Italo Disco...Giorgio Moroder! I know most people think 70s/Donna Summer when his name comes up, but he hasn't stopped doing his thang. My favorite of his songs from the 80s is "Together In Electric Dreams" with Philip Oakey.
