italo disco
Last updated:
Description
Italo disco is a synthesizer-driven dance music genre that emerged from Italy in the late 1970s and early 1980s, characterized by catchy melodies, drum machines, and romantic or futuristic themes. The sound blends electronic production with pop sensibility, featuring prominent basslines, sequenced synths, and often English-language vocals with European accents. Its influence extends to modern electronic music, inspiring contemporary artists who embrace its nostalgic, melodic aesthetic.
