Italo Disco RFI

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
After loving the two TokTok tunes i heard ( missy queens gonna die, and ZokZok ) someone told me all there stuff is based on samples of a italo disco band, Babys Gang, so i've been trawling sale bins and p2p networks for Babys Gang and other italian disco music, most of its pretty sleazy, but theres some great synth electro backing.. can anyone tell me what to look for, what to avoid?

Search: Azoto's Disco Fizz EP. Over-the-top Bee Gees-ish falsettos purring in broken English; watery, legato synths; fiddles that sound vaguely Eastern European; and that thudding pulsing italodisco beat.

Ken Laszlo's "Tonight" and "Hey Hey Guy" were great, as was Savage's "Don't Cry Tonight".

Most of the Italo disco songs that did actually become hits had a bit too much of that typical late-80s digital synth sound to them. The best ones used mainly analog ones.

At the moment I'm feeling

Koxo-Step By Step

Also alot of the others recommended above. Actually just recommend any proto house or stuff like that. I am still consistently blown away listening to "She Can't Love You", by Chemise, which the Glimmer Twins introduced me to. Sounds like Frankie Knuckles gone goofy, ten years or so earlier.


So yeah anyone got more recommendations?

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 26 April 2004 19:53 (9 years ago) Permalink

I'm not the only one who likes this stuff, you know!

my all time favorite italo tracks are:

Gaz Nevada-IC Love Affair

and

Mr. Flagio-Take a Chance

I like the spacey electro-y stuff but am also feeling the more organic earlier stuff, the same basslines but more guitars and the occasional sax solo.

I like a lot of the proto-house electronic disco that crossed over, NYC labels like Emergency releasing italo like Kano, Elektra's Feels Good and Capricorn along with Chemise and Shannon, and Sleeping Bag putting out Video's Hey Girl and the even better Video feat. Buckelew Hey Boy (somebody) and a recent fave, Tonight by Synomin or something, how's that spelled?

Tell me an awesome Italo disco comp to pick up (there has to be one.) The only songs mentioned on this thread that I know are "Problemes d'Amour" and "Dirty Talk" and I love 'em both. Oh, does Telex's "Moskow Disko" qualify as Italo Disco?

― Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 03:01 (9 years ago) Permalink

it's not perfect, but this is the closest thing we have:

http://www.irmagroup.com/php/scheda.php?release=NEW&label=Irmagroup

It has some instrumental versions where I would've liked the vocal versions in many cases, though not Penguin Invasion...that's a terrible vocal.

and you should all go to:

http://www.viewlexx.net/cybernetic-mixage.htm

and dl some mixes, especially the 2 I-F Mixed Up at the Hague mixes, which are mixes of hip italo-disco electro and other euro and NY club tracks. The first one really helped set off this recent trend of interest.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 03:23 (9 years ago) Permalink

DJ TLR is your man for mixes, the guy that runs the Creme Organisation, I can't fault his selection and he's breath-takingly proficient on the decks. He swipes a record out of his bag, syncs it up, scratches it in and then tweaks it into the mix using the levels - all in the time it'd takes me to start thinking about which track should go next.

― nick.K (nick.K), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 16:24 (9 years ago) Permalink

A whole thread and still no mention of Trans-X "Living on video"! How can that be? Certainly one of my favo Italo disco tracks.

I also like:

Fancy "Bolero" (veerrry cheesy, but fun)
Company B "Fascinated"
Fun fun "Colour my love" / "Baila bolero" (both pretty obvious, but I hadn't seen them mentioned).
La bionda "One for you, one for me"

The Casco track is brilliant! Couldn't believe it had been made back in the 80s...

Over here in the Netherlands, we had the Italo Dance Classics 1 to 4, which contained some of the tracks mentioned in this thread...

― Rudolf (Rudolf), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 16:29 (9 years ago) Permalink

― joseph (joseph), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 16:37 (9 years ago) Permalink

yes, Casco.. but Tarzan Boy doesn't work as Italo for me, it makes me think of John Hughes films and being miserable in the 80s.

MIxed Up in the Hague 1 came out in 2000. There was an original CD pressing, with artwork and everything, and Kims and Other carried it. That and his Space Invaders are Smoking Grass hold a great deal or responsibility for much of what's happened in dance and electronic music since, more then just a revival of interest in old Il Disc releases.

I'm listening to the 3 part Bootleg DJ Cafe mix by I-F right now...fantastic.

ok, here are 3 favorites of mine that always "get the party started" right, they all feature a mix of early 80s italo and electro-funk and all feature women saying motivational things about dancing:

Digital Emotion-Get Up, Do You Wanna Funk
D.F. & Pam-On the Beat
X Ray Connection-Get Ready(special freak mix)

note there is no question mark after the first title. Because with a beat like that, it's a rhetorical question.

Alec D will be spinning Italo there tonight, too!

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 21:27 (9 years ago) Permalink

I know, thats what the "as well" implies!

there are many schools and sounds of italo, ranging from 77 to 87 or so, the hippest stuff being around 82/83, depending on yr taste. We'll see what Alec D's got!

NY's real italo luminary was Generic Costume's Kevin Carney, but he moved to LA, I think.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 21:30 (9 years ago) Permalink

I've just returned(early.) DJs were all great as expected and Alec D even blessed me with a copy of his mix which opens with a recent obsession of mine(first heard from Morgan Geist years ago...props where props are due) Miss Broadway by Belle Epoque. My prediction? We've all tired of the excellent proto-techno vocoder electro italo that is finally getting comped and re-released, and are stretching the boundaries to the earlier more organic stuff (see the Black Devil Disco Club) and the later big pop stuff (see Magazine 60's Don Quixote)

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 April 2004 04:55 (9 years ago) Permalink

I heart the big pop stuff, the stuff that's a whisker away from being really corny europop, but is just a bit too ballsy and over-the-top to qualify:

Cyber People - "Void vision"
Koto - "Dragon's legend", "Chinese revenge" and "Japanese war game"
Kano - "Another lover"
Ken Laszlo - "Hey hey guy" (which is really actually fucking twisted lyrically)
Radiorama - "Desire"
Scotch - "Delirio mind"

'84-'86 style. All bombast and drama. Like if you take all the strings-y bits and overblown 20-minute concept EPs from disco (that were never part of any trendy revival) and execute them with synthesisers and sci-fi, you get this type of italo.

The tasteful stuff is all well and good and fine for indie-rock revivalists but italo can also be like the happy hardcore of disco.

As I keep coming back to the Overfitted Disco Spaced Out Disco Mix (and the good-but-overrated Mixed Up at the Hague Vol. 1 mix on which is an instrumental mix) I feel compelled to note that Q's "The Voice of Q" is a fucking Italo godsend. It's not really Italo, as it's a couple of black American dudes. But holy shit, the popping bass, the haunting whistle melody and vocoder, and the "why doesn't any soul singer sing like THAT anymore" vocal make me wish these guys did something/anything else.

― Naive Teen Idol, Saturday, 24 October 2009 03:15 (3 years ago) Permalink

firstly, haven't we already established that "italo" doesn't have to be from italy?

secondly, I'm being ornery because you badmouthed Mixed Up at the Hague, but it's hard to call it overrated. It has it's flaws, but when it came out, it was a real game-changer for so many people. We would likely not be having this conversation if that mix wasn't released. And while they seem like familiar canon classics now, at the time Spacer Woman, Mr. Flagio, World Invasion etc, even that particular mix of Dirty Talk, were all pretty damn obscure and that's a lot of classics to have one one mix.

― dan selzer, Saturday, 24 October 2009 03:43 (3 years ago) Permalink

So, is all electro soul "Italo," then? I mean, what distinguishes, say, the Jonzun Crew from Q (aside from "Voice of Q" being better than anything on the former's record barring maybe "Ground Control")? Are Jonzun Crew "Italo" too? Are Kraftwerk? I guess that was what disappointed me about Mixed Up at the Hague 1 -- it seemed more like a collection of (mostly great) contemporaneous dance tracks than anything that existed along any kind of thematic continuum.

We could probably debate this ad nauseum, but I feel like the easiest way to determine if a track is Italo is by asking the following question:

Would the Pet Shop Boys like it?

(I'm not actually kidding -- and in this case, I don't think they would. Plus, I think Dan's soft spot for electro is clouding his vision here)

The one group that's actually Italian that kind of makes me question this line of thinking is Kano who are possibly my favorite Italo act...tho something about the debut strikes me as the kind of thing Neill Tennant might appreciate.

― Naive Teen Idol, Saturday, 24 October 2009 04:35 (3 years ago) Permalink

by the time the term "italo" started gaining popularity, particularly in the US, it was used to define a certain type or early 80s euro-disco/synth-pop, and generally nobody gets too disturbed when stuff like World Invasion gets lumped in with the term. Electro is one of the key ingredients in italo, so there's crossover, but generally italo is more poppy.

― dan selzer, Saturday, 24 October 2009 14:07 (3 years ago) Permalink

I just started paging through this thread and then fast-forwarded to the end in hopes that the last post would be a Spotify samaritan. Hooray!

Thanks. It's part Samaritan -- and part just a really good way to learn a genre and artist. I did the same w King Tubby and Lindstrom and Prins, using awesome ILM threads to cut thru the chaff. In the case of King Tubby, I think I basically saved myself about a decade of fruitless record buying and god knows how much money -- getting shit comps on dodgy labels just so I could acquire a single track.
