Makina Girgir - Plans for today (2007)

Great new electronic music released on Berlin/Germany based "Das Drehmoment" run by our friends Dany and Thomas. Support their label and shop by buying vinyl.

Boytronic - Trigger track (1984)

Energy loaded synth-wave-pop from Germany. This is the B-side of the 12inch "Diamonds and loving arms".

Robert Schröder - Skywalker (1983)

Perfect Moroder-based cosmic-synth-disco music to fly over the clouds.

Telex - Reality (1989)

This is the remixed version of the firstly in 1980 released track. The version is featured on the album "Les rhythmes automatiques" from 1989.

Claus V. - Mystery man (instr.) (1984)

Orlando again - no more words necessary.

Scoop - Say you go (1983)

Oh man, this incredible year '83. Unbelievable!

Wow - Bring on the men (instr.) (1983)

One of Bobby O's countless productions. Simply the best ever.

Modern Rocketry - Homosexuality (1985)

This is absolutely HiNRG-music as well. Come on and dance your ass off.

Le Jeté - La cage aux folles (1983)

HiNRG-Italo classic!!!

Telex - L'amour toujours (1982)

"L'amour toujours" - forever love - came out first in 1982 before this special dance mix has been released three years later in 1985.

Tik & Tok - Cool running (1983)

As we are at some obscure elements at the moment this is a totally obscure electro synth-pop track. Be surprised - like it or not ...

Body Games - Stop love (1983)

Perfect dance gem for everyone who loves driving basslines, nice synth-melodies and a kind of obscure voice.

ES Connection - Don't take your time (1984)

Rare HiNRG-loaded Italo burner. I also like the instrumental version featured on the b-side.

New Order - Blue Monday (1983)

No Italo at all but a trend-setting piece of dancemusic.

Laser Dance - Laser Dance (Remix '88) (1988)

I only found this remix-version from 1988. The original track has been released in 1984 and is quite a bit better in my opinion. But you also should know that this original has its roots back in 1979 because it's a cover version of "Sponooch - Laserdance" you can find on the b-side of the 12inch "Crime buster".

Digital Emotion - Don't stop (1983)

Dutch Adam and Fleisner production in their well known HiNRG-style. Always hitting the floor!!!

Pet Shop Boys - One more chance (1984)

That was the start up for the career of the Pet Shop Boys - besides their "West end girls" (also released in 1984). Both has been produced by the great Bobby Orlando.

Johan Agebjörn / Sally Shapiro / Elitechnique - Outer Space Woman (Parts 1 & 2) (2008)

Perfect dance-trip into the orbit to find there the "Outer space woman". Ingenious production that makes me fly every time.

Moonbase - Waiting for a train (instr. dub) (1983)

Moonbase is Tony Carrasco. So this track can only be a good one... Dope bassline Mr. Carrasco!!!

Novo - Extremix (1983)

This is another ridiculous live performance from the 80s. But the 12inch is a killer one though.

Squash Gang - I want an illusion (1986)

Time for some cheese from Spain. Italo classic!

Waterfront Home - Take a chance (on me) (1983)

Go for it Bobby "O"!!! He is definitely one of the best producers ever!!!

Tapps - My forbidden lover (1983)

Wonderful HiNRG Italo song from Canada. Come on and dance!!!

Change - The end (1980)

Ahead of its time!!! Beautiful Moroder based track produced by Jacques Fred Petrus who was a great disco producer amongst others for his "Peter Jacques Band". Unfortunately he was murderd in 1986 in Guadeloupe where he was born and living.

Shamall - My dream (1986)

"Shamall" is Norbert Krüler from Germany. He started his music-career in the early 70s and got some gigs as a pre-program in the so called "Kraut"-scene. Then he exchanged the live stage with the DJ-desk. In 1984 he started making his own music again and turned his style into the Italo disco genre. One result was "My dream" which became a DJ TOP 40 chart hit.

Hipnosis - Oxygene (1983)

Absolutly classic Italo-version from Jean Michel Jarre's original.

Mark Du Mosch - Airforce (2007)

Mark du Mosch is a DJ, producer & visual artist from Rotterdam who started a great career in making music in this Westcoast Holland environment we already know.

Airforce is an Italo- and spacesound-touched house track. Very nice gem!!!

My Mine - Juaresh (1985)

B-side of the 12inch "Cupid girl" with a hypnotic-wave touch - and anything more. Anyway it's difficult to describe, you have to listen to it.

Hipnosis - Space crusaders (1984)

This is a more unknown cut by Hipnosis taken from the "Hipnosis"-album. Spacey synth-sound.

Marsha Raven - Catch me (I'm falling in love) (1983)

High energy burner with the call of Big Ben at the beginning.

Avalanche - Traveling (1983)

Obscure energy-loaded synth-pop-disco burner from the Netherlands.

New Order - 5-8-6 (The Peel Session) (1986)

This is the life-session of the "5-8-6"-track has been played during the famous BBC Radio show of John Peel who died in 2004. You'll never recognize this song -it's much better than the original. Hypnotic!!

Divine - You think you're a man (1984)

Not produced - as usual - by Bobby "O" but by Barry Evangeli and Pete Waterman (one part of the hit-producer trio Stock, Aitken and Waterman). The video shows a huge live performance on Australian TV.

Poni Hoax - Budapest (Joakim Italo Dub) (2005)

Driving and uplifting remix of the original by Joakim Bouaziz which is turning into some acid- and noise-elements - as usual if he remixes some stuff. Also recognizable in his remix of "Principles of Geometry - A mountain for president".

Row Bob - Trouble comin' every day (1984)

This is sooooo strange and weird. Italo-electro-rap-scratch action.

Mr. B - R.I.O. nights (Cool voice mix)(1988)

Powerful German HiNRG-Italo-influenced-synth-pop music from the late 80s.

Sphinx - Collision (Remix) (1982)

This is the remixed B-side version of the 12inch released in 1982.

Mr. Pauli - Don't want to be you (2006)

Recent stuff from the Westcoast Holland finally found in the web. Brilliant!!!

Mike Mareen - Dancing in the dark (Galactica Remix) (1985)

Besides "Double trouble" - see some posts before - this is the best track by Mike Mareen in my opinion. Follow the "DJ-info" on the cover: "Play this record loud!"

In memoriam "Salvatore Cusato"

Yesterday I heard that Salvatore Cusato - also known as "Casco" - passed away last Sunday. I was shocked about this unexpectable fact. This is a very sad moment for the whole Italo-Disco-world because he was one of its godfathers.
He produced a lot of wonderful songs. In the following I will show you again some of his most known and successful underground Italo-hits of Casco respectively productions of him.

SALVATORE - WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND YOUR MUSIC!!! R.I.P.
