the Italo Disco thread
 

I've been listening a lot lately to releases from Clone Rotterdam and I'm starting to enjoy that cheesy Italo Disco sound. I don't really know where to start looking for the classics though. I know Giorgio Moroder, and I know artists like Legowelt are influenced by this sound. So I need recommendations :D

listen to Cybernetic Broadcast Systems!!!!: http://cbs.nu/home/

They have a killer all-italo web-radio stream. They used to host mixes too, but I can't seem to find them. Anyway if they're still on the site, RUN DON'T WALK and download the two I-F 'mixed up in the hague' mixes. They're absolutely essential

This might give you some inspiration too, Renze. Mattval knows his gorgonzola.

it's kind of underground legend LOL
And enjoy those videos :)

Re: the Italo Disco thread
 

Also look out for Miko Mission, Laserdance (More NRG/Spacesynth than Italo, but similar cheezy goodness), and please please track down "Watch Out" by Doctor's Cat. Felix sampleled it for the last track off of his latest album. The actual song is much better. IM me and I could work something out with you.

A good place to start looking really is to hit up all the youtubes italo videos, and go from there. 'Orient Express' by Wish Key is 80s-tastic.
