Strongly agree. A personal favorite:

Classic!

Some of my personal favourite, unintelligible Italo tracks:

Sensitive - Driving: https://youtu.be/Qprd11nRO7c

Alex Valentini - Beautiful Life: https://youtu.be/-CbtAaPPLAg

Fockewulf 190 - Gitano: https://youtu.be/kto_Yi0Bec4

Completely unrelated: the Focke-Wulf 190 was one of the most beautiful aircraft of all time.

Thanks for sharing! Have you got more of these? I'd appreciate recommendation of artists/songs to check out.

The first advice I always give people that are trying to get into Italo is to check out Flemming Dalum's mixes: https://soundcloud.com/flemming/sets/flemming-dalum-mixes

I'm discovering this. That's excellent ! Do you have other suggestions ?

Love this track! Thanks for sharing it.

Ehh that's true, but it's not the definition of Italo Disco. Most Italo can be understood just fine.

Unintelligible lyrics aren't a necessary part of Italo, though; it's just that they were sometimes written by people who didn't speak English terribly well, and cared more about making something people could dance to.

Nonetheless, i have upvoted your comment, as Italo is the third best genre of music, and deserves to be more widely appreciated.

Out of interest: if Italo is"the third best genre", what are the top two?

1. Acid house

2. Dub

Sorry, so just to clarify, your top three genres of music are... acid house, dubstep and uh... Italo?!

Dub and dubstep are different genres. They're the same concept applied to to different genres of music. It technically makes dubstep a subgenre of Dub, but the music they're based off is different enough that they don't usually sound alike.

4. Surf rock

Got me through the last crunch of my dissertation. One weekend with italo disco and liters of Earl Grey tea.

Italo disco is currently having a small revival in some techno acts like Bicep.

True for me, steady rhythm of Italo disco keeps me focused
