here are four really fun, introductory type mixes available for download. the first three are by my DJ partner and friend Robert Robot Hustle! the other is from some German label's website. either way, they are pretty decent.

Flashlight on a Disco Night is a personal fave of mine, though I only have it on a Studio 57 comp.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 01:50 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i love that track. the other day i was at Open Mind Records (fantastic San Francisco spot), and they had a big pile of used stuff. this was in there ... excellent condition. i think it was $4-5. also, i heard a RUMOR that the De Wulf who produced this was the same one involved with Music Man Records for his famous B-Sides series. although that makes no sense to me.

lovin' "donna rouge" by fake at the moment

joseph (joseph), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 02:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I like that for the guitars. Really "rocking"!

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 05:22 (seventeen years ago) link

cameron, does open mind have a decent old disco type selection? i stopped going there for a really long time and just by chance went in there recently and found a record i've been looking for for years (amina claudine myers - song for mother e).

jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 05:59 (seventeen years ago) link

i usually go to streetlight in the castro for old super gay disco 12"s. i wish they had listening stations.

Alexander Robotnick! "Dance Boy Dance" is really good, among others.

Torrents for two 44-track volumes of vintage Italo Disco are up at Mininova now, and a lot of the names in this thread are represented.

Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 5 January 2007 05:40 (seventeen years ago) link

this SYD 'Just Like Music' vol 1 mix is so sweet.

den harrow's "broken radio" is fantastic (and a useful educational record as well)

impudent harlot, Friday, 28 March 2008 00:09 (sixteen years ago) link

one year passes...

i'm hearing some italo disco stuff for the first time, i love it. like regular disco, but cheesier!

but as a (not really all that clued in) dj, i must know - is this stuff still cool, or is it's trendyness a thing of the past? seems like i still hear ilm'ers people namedropping the whole italo thing on other threads, but then i can't help but notice no one's updated this thread in a while...

messiahwannabe, Monday, 18 May 2009 07:35 (fourteen years ago) link

Italo is like electro in that it'll always be cool.

Tuomas, Monday, 18 May 2009 08:34 (fourteen years ago) link

that's what i thought - hard to see how this stuff could ever not be cool!

btw thanks for answering my dumb question :)

messiahwannabe, Monday, 18 May 2009 09:05 (fourteen years ago) link

Not strictly all italo, but Intergalactic Gary is an awesome DJ and well worth checking out.

This is a great set he played at the Bleep43 party in London in Feb:

Chewshabadoo, Monday, 18 May 2009 09:19 (fourteen years ago) link

Italo covers so much more stuff than people realize that writing it off is like saying "disco isn't cool anymore", which some people do anyway, but just because slavishly reviving chicago house circa 86 is cooler now, even though the debt chicago house circa 86 pays to Italo is great.

dan selzer, Monday, 18 May 2009 12:57 (fourteen years ago) link

I was listening to righeira all weekend

ah I freak out anytime I hear "Love and Music." There was some other italo-related thread somewhere where people went on about it a bit. I need a copy of that record. Such a magical chord progression!
