Pitchfork. Retrieved 1 May 2015. Anybody truly scandalized about this track's sampling of Gary Low's Italo-disco jam "I Want You" would've been just as pissed at the 1983 original for having synths. ^ Catling, Simon Jay (21 June 2010). "Washed Out". The Quietus. Retrieved 1 May 2015. The most notable pillage is Gary Low's 1983 Italo disco ...
Italo disco (variously capitalized, and sometimes hyphenated as Italo-disco) [1] is a music genre which originated in Italy in the late 1970s and was mainly produced in the 1980s. Italo disco evolved from the then-current underground dance, pop, and electronic music, both domestic and foreign ( hi-NRG, Euro disco) and developed into a diverse ...
- Late 1970s – early 1980s, Italy
- Giorgio Moroder – A Love Affair. The one Italo artist on this list I could never be embarrassed of. The one I appreciate so much I listened to his greatest hits underwater while exploring coral reefs in Thailand.
- Paul Paul – Good Times. We go from bad dreams to good times with good old Paul Paul at number 2. This song was ahead of its time. Next to our number 1, this is the most musically accomplished song on the list.
- Alan Cook – Bad Dreams. Holy shit, those dance moves are beyond comprehension, his mullet is pretty impressive too and a lot subtler than Limahl’s. He may have the name of a balding English plumber, but in reality, he is actually a confident tanned sack of overactive Italian testosterone and the eighties personified in a man.
- Radiorama – Aliens. Radiorama have a history musing on the nature of mythological creatures. They’ve also done Yeti’s and Vampires but I consider their work on Aliens to be their seminal, most accomplished work.
- Firefly – Love Is Gonna Be On Your Side. One of Italy's best disco acts on the country's best label. Emergency was home to so many jams including this one.
- Tom Hooker – Dove Andiamo. A real cute little stepper which again came from a more innocent time for the Italian disco scene. Ripping off a lot from Surface's Falling In Love (those keys), the best thing about this tune is it comes in Italian and English.
- Loui$ – Pink Footpath. We're a duo and one of our names is Louis so this was always going to make the cut, and the dollar sign in the name was just so ahead of its time.
- Clio – Faces. Really getting into the thick of Italo now, Clio's Faces perfectly toes the line of cheese before things started getting really silly in the mid-80s.
