Mister Italo - The Future is 30 Years Old

Spanish Crash - Life is now (1984)

2012-01-26T10:27:00.000-08:00

Digging out an old and mostly unknown treasure. This has also been featured by The Robot Scientists - in "MDB Vol.8".

Gary Numan - Random (1979)

2012-01-26T10:19:00.000-08:00

Great instrumental track also featured in "Musica da Batticuore Vol. 1".

Alden Tyrell ft. Fred Ventura - Memories (2008)

2012-01-24T09:50:00.000-08:00

Old Italo legend meets NuItalo hero with a wonderful melancholic song. Remembers me on the good old times back in the 80s.

Panorama - War in love (instrumental) (1985)

2012-01-24T09:41:00.000-08:00

Some time ago I introduced the vocal version of this song. Now I finally found the instrumental version I love so much. Full of memories.

Gang - KKK (1983)

2012-01-22T03:09:00.000-08:00

Another highly recommended Italo-electro-classic.

Farah - Law of life (instrumental) (2007)

2012-01-22T03:04:00.000-08:00

Psychodelic cosmic electro sound on "Italians do it better" you also can find in the "Musica da Batticuore Vol. 1".

Rational Youth - City of night (1982)

2012-01-20T08:50:00.000-08:00

And now something to lift off on the dancefloor.

Rational Youth - Le meilleur des mondes (1982)

Space synth fly to the stars with this Canadian "new wave/post punk band" (discogs).

Cosmic Metal Mother - I think ... (2007)

2012-01-18T09:06:00.000-08:00

Another downtempo electro disco track that makes you floating all over. Pretty epic.

Fake - New art (1984)

2012-01-18T08:54:00.000-08:00

Very nice slomo gem to dream. There's an instrumental version of this song available on the B-side of the 12inch "Right" which is featured as the first track in "The Robot Scientists" very first mix of their legendary series "Musica da Batticuore".

Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force – Planet rock (1982)

2012-01-15T08:24:00.000-08:00

More electro hiphop classics - maybe that this style doesn't really fit to the blog but it was part of the biggest music era ever - the 80s - and I like it nearly as much as Italo so I think it's also worth to be mentioned within here.

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - White lines (1983)

2012-01-15T08:20:00.000-08:00

No words necessary ...

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The message (1982)

2012-01-13T09:26:00.000-08:00

... and because I'm in the old school electro mood at the moment here comes an absolutly classic everybody knows - even with the original video:

DMX Krew - That wild & freaky robot funk (2011)

2012-01-13T09:20:00.000-08:00

WOOOOOW!!! Old school electro vocoder funk like 25 years ago. Love this so much. I also like the A-side of this 7inch called "Funky dancer" which I couldn't find on youtube yet.

Taras 3000 - Galaxis (Pete Herbert Remix) (2010)

2012-01-11T08:53:00.000-08:00

Driving and well done remix by Pete Herbert. Great work.

Headman - Be loved dub (2011)

2012-01-11T08:44:00.000-08:00

This is an electro number from a Swiss-born DJ and producer named Robi Insinna. He is located now in Berlin and the founder of the label "Relish Recordings" on which this track has been released.

Pete Herbert & Golden Fleece - The bells of Hackney (2011)

2012-01-08T08:56:00.000-08:00

Oops, where from I know this bass- and synth-line? Right: It's an edit from the great "Anytime or place" by Azoto. Well done.

Pete Herbert & Golden Fleece - Ivory waves (Sare Havlicek Remix) (2011)

2012-01-08T08:53:00.000-08:00

This remix of "Ivory waves" is really GOLDEN. Very funky, groovy and makes you foot tapping.

Pete Herbert & Golden Fleece - Ivory waves (2011)

2012-01-06T10:27:00.000-08:00

This is a mixture between late 80s/early 90s piano house sound and a spacefly to the stars. Enjoy!

Gabe Catanzaro - Polyphonic (2010)

2012-01-06T10:24:00.000-08:00

To make the "Long long way from home" EP complete I'm gonna present you the last of its five tracks. This one also sound pretty retro-italo like.

Gabe Catanzaro - The metal man (2010)

2012-01-04T09:56:00.000-08:00

This song shows that Gabe Catanzaro not only can play Italo but also light sounding cosmic tunes.

Gabe Catanzaro - Never let me go (2010)

2012-01-04T09:54:00.001-08:00

To go on with the formerly mentioned EP here is the next track of this retro italo sounding release:

Gabe Catanzaro - Two for the night (2010)

2012-01-02T09:55:00.000-08:00

This is another beautiful NuItalo track from the "Long long way home"-EP.

Gabe Catanzaro - Monster in the dark (2010)

2012-01-02T09:49:00.000-08:00

The EP "Long long way from home" came out first as a digital release in 2010 and then in 2011 as a 12inch. This song is one of the track of this EP and represents a typical massive Italo bassline and vocals by Tobias Bernstrup.

The Rapture - How deep is your love (Populette Remix) (2011) (

2011-12-31T02:48:00.000-08:00

To end up the year 2011 as good as possible here comes a gorgeous hit remix of the original song. "The Rapture normally is a rock band based in New York City. The band mixes influences from many genres including post-punk, new rave, dance-punk, acid house, disco, electronica and rock and roll." (Discogs)
This remix by Populette is simply a great work in electronic music and makes us dancing into the NEW YEAR 2012.

Visage - Mind of a toy (1981)

2011-12-31T02:38:00.000-08:00

This is a jump into the synth-wave-pop corner and I think that this song by Visage is not as common as for example their biggest hit ever "Fade to grey". But I like it though. Sorry for the raw sound quality.

Tullio de Piscopo - Stop bajon (1984)

2011-12-29T01:51:00.000-08:00

Tullio started releasing music in the mid 70s and this one is supposed to be his most famous piece of music - and it's such a cool Italo electro disco track.

Discodromo - Numero Uno (Prins Thomas Edit) (2011)

2011-12-29T01:41:00.000-08:00

Discodromo is a duo of the two Italian guys Giacomo Garavelloni and Giovanni Turco who are living in Berlin/Germany. You can recognize their roots in their music. This remix by Prins Thomas is beautiful, driving and uplifting. Enjoy!

Grecos - Living in the sky (1984)

2011-12-27T01:00:00.000-08:00

Once again back to all beloved Italo sound. This is an absolutely classic song and you have to spend some bucks more to get a copy.

Sare Havlicek - White russian (Lazy summer) (Max Essa presents Jan Ken Po Remix) (2010)

2011-12-27T00:45:00.000-08:00

This is so to say a "guest track" on the EP "Pleasure storm". In this youtube video it's a bit pitched up unfortunately. Normally it's more relaxed.

Aeroplane - Save me now (2011)

2011-12-23T10:00:00.000-08:00

Aeroplane presents these two compilations and he didn't miss to eternize himself on it. Great stuff as usual.

Poolside - Take me home (2011)

2011-12-23T09:58:00.000-08:00

This cosmic and balearic sound also comes from the "In Flight Entertainment".

Herr Styler - Zero ghosts out the door (2011)

2011-12-21T09:58:00.001-08:00

This is one track from the ace compilation "In Flight Entertainment" which is presented by "Aeroplane". This song sounds a bit like Chinese Folk music. More tracks of this comp to come soon.

Paul Weller - Starlite (Drop Out Orchestra Remix) (2011)

2011-12-21T09:50:00.000-08:00

Nice relaxed and funky remix from a Swedish producer.

Flight Facilities - Foreign language (Extended Mix) (2011)

2011-12-19T11:08:00.000-08:00

... and this is the original version in an extended mix. It's such a great piece of music.

Flight Facilities - Foreign language (Drop Out Orchestra Remix) (2011)

2011-12-19T11:05:00.000-08:00

This remix makes really funky shit out of the original with funky guitars, bongos and many more. Simply a great work.

Flight Facilities - Foreign language (Will Saul Remix) (2011)

2011-12-17T05:27:00.000-08:00

NuDisco at its best in a relaxed remix. Cool synth sounds and a great voice.

Jori Hulkkonen - I am dead (Hercules and Love Affair) (2010)

2011-12-17T05:20:00.000-08:00

Another version of the already posted "Who made Who Remix".

Uranium - Carbon 14 (1979)

2011-12-14T09:25:00.000-08:00

Related to the last post here comes the B-side of the 12inch "Eleanor rigby". Sounds similar but it's not even worse than this.

Uranium - Eleanor rigby (1979)

2011-12-14T09:21:00.000-08:00

Fly through the 70s-Disco-space with this classic tune from France.

Theo Vaness - Bad bad boy (1979)

2011-12-12T11:00:00.000-08:00

Disco burner from the Dutch singer Hendrikus Theodorus van Es.

In 2009 an instrumental edit came out under the title "Baden Baden" and has been presented by Bottin on a 12inch together with some other strange disco edits. Great stuff.

Rushhour - Cosmico (2011)

2011-12-12T10:40:00.000-08:00

This track is featured on the B-side of the 12inch "Moogie". Cool synth-bass and cosmic spacefly mood from Russia.

Rushhour - Moogie (Alden Tyrell Remix) (2011)

2011-12-10T09:16:00.000-08:00

New spacedisco at its best remixed by all known Martijn Hoogendijk. He's simply genius.

Ayisha - Space men (1978/2011)

2011-12-10T09:11:00.000-08:00

Last night I had a dream ... Space men I fly with you, space men I die for you ...
Such a cool and funky disco-tune originally released in 1978 as a 7inch and re-released in 2011 as a 10Inch on coloured vinyl.

Space - Magic fly (Remix) (1985)

2011-12-08T12:46:00.000-08:00

Very nice remix of the 1977's original.

Player (1) - Space invaders (1979)

2011-12-08T12:26:00.000-08:00

Be careful of these invading aliens from space. Great cosmic disco bomb with a very "dangerous" cover.

Luke Million - Octobussy (Part 2 - Oxygene Mix) (2010)

2011-12-06T12:06:00.000-08:00

This is featured on the B-side of "Italo journey" and has such a Jean Michel Jarre touch - great synth-pads and drive.

Chic - Le freak (1978)

2011-12-06T12:02:00.000-08:00

The "funky-est" shit ever!!!

Chic - Good times (1979)

2011-12-04T09:44:00.000-08:00

To go on with 70s classic disco tunes here are the "Good times":

Cerrone - Je suis music (1978)

2011-12-04T09:39:00.000-08:00

Another classic disco burner - this time even with a French title: "I am music". Fits to all of us 'cause we all are music!!!

Cerrone - Freak connection (1983)

2011-12-01T08:56:00.000-08:00

Essential work by Frenchman Jean-Marc Cerrone. The 12inch actually is a medley between the songs "Freak connection" and "Standing in the shadows of love".

If you wanna listen to the first only "Freak connection" track you shouldn't miss "The Robot Scientists Freaks in Space Edit" coming here:

Hott City - Feelin' love (1979)

2011-12-01T08:52:00.000-08:00

This is the B-side of the 12inch "Ain't love grand" and is such a groovy song that makes you simply feeling good.

Chic - I want your love (1978)

2011-11-29T09:36:00.000-08:00

Normally I needn't lose any words about this classic tune but there's a new edit by Todd Terje you should check out. Unfortunately it's not on youtube yet so you have to listen to the original song here - but that's quite not a shame I think :-))

I Signori Della Galassia - Iceman (1979)

2011-11-29T09:30:00.000-08:00

Totally weird!!! It's the title song of the album with the same name. INSANE!

Blush - Lift off (1978)

2011-11-27T07:19:00.000-08:00

This track isn't only from the album "Out of this world" but it's indeed out of this world and miles ahead of its time.

Skatebard - Starwatcher II (2010)

2011-11-27T07:14:00.000-08:00

Trance-House touched title track from Skatebard's "Starwatcher EP" from which I already introduced the B-side track some time ago.

D-Pulse - On a highway to Saturn (Jan Ken Po Remix) (2010)

2011-11-25T06:36:00.000-08:00

NuDisco from Russia with vocals by Hannah Mancini from Slovenia and remixed by Max Bruce - also known as Max Essa and Jan Ken Po. Best!!!

Marbeya Sound - Non reciprocal (Original) (2010)

2011-11-25T06:20:00.000-08:00

This is the original tracks from the U.S. duo "Marbeya Sound". Very nice slomo cosmic Nudisco sound. The spanish guys from the "Rare Wiri" label run by Rayko released an essential EP with three excellent remixes of this track.

Brian Bennett - Chain reaction (1978)

2011-11-23T10:29:00.000-08:00

Another gem from Bennett's album in the same manner as "Voyage". Simply great tunes. Kind of "Star Wars" soundtrack.

Brian Bennett - Voyage (1978)

2011-11-23T10:24:00.000-08:00

Highly recommended cosmic disco monster from the album "Voyage (A journey into discoid funk)". You can get this now for a fair price as an unofficial repress - but for the original album you have to dig out a bit more money.

Roland Sebastian Faber - Morgengrau (2010)

2011-11-20T13:31:00.000-08:00

... and this is the second track from this EP. The third one I already posted here some time ago.

Roland Sebastian Faber - Gropiusstadt (2010)

2011-11-20T13:25:00.000-08:00

Typical sound of Roland Sebastian Faber under his real name. He has so many aliases that would be too much to mention here. If you wanna learn more about him you can check "Discogs".
This piece is the title track from the "Gropiusstadt EP".

Anosphere - Epsilon hunter (2010)

2011-11-19T06:01:00.000-08:00

Part four of the synth-loaden album series on Radio Cosmos is called "Synth planet" and contains besides many others this slowmo but pretty hard rocking monster:

Aldo Bergamachine - Baby noise-x-mod (2009)

2011-11-19T05:54:00.000-08:00

Another gem from Frederic Bergamaschi who is the founder of the French based "Radio Cosmos" label. Pure electro disco sound full of energy.

Kinky Roland - Sahara (2009)

2011-11-15T10:29:00.000-08:00

... and this is the next one worth to be listened to:

Keen K & P Muench - Maiden (2009)

2011-11-15T10:26:00.000-08:00

To go on with some cosmic synth-pop music I'm gonna introduce a few more tracks from the already mentioned double album "Synthetic Memento".

Aldo Bergamachine - Medieval orange (2009)

2011-11-11T10:29:00.000-08:00

... and as i'm in this "Synthetic Memento" album at the moment here comes another track from there. Light sounding and easygoing.

S.C.D. - Lovely (2009)

2011-11-11T10:26:00.000-08:00

Another dreamy piece of synth-music from the great double album "Synthetic Memento".

Panthers - Goblin city (Holy Ghost! Extended Disco Dub) (2008)

2011-11-10T09:21:00.000-08:00

Very nice NuDisco production and remix by Holy Ghost! which has been released in Germany on the amazing "Permanent Vacation" label and in the U.S. on absolutely hipster label "DFA".

Rubies feat. Feist - I feel electric (TieDye Mix) (2008)

2011-11-10T09:14:00.000-08:00

Relaxing electronic sound released on New York's hip underground label "Italians do it better".

Discothèque - Disco special (1979)

2011-11-07T02:14:00.000-08:00

Back to the 70s again with this cosmic monster. It's the B-side of the 12inch "Intro disco".

Keen K & P Muench - Spiral (Makina Girgir Twilight Remix) (2009)

2011-11-07T02:07:00.000-08:00

Mystic and hypnotic synthwork as we all like it.

Twilight Ritual - Webb-men (1982)

2011-11-03T10:26:00.000-07:00

Minimal electronic sound originally released on the album "The ritual".

GAG - Flyin' bolero (1983)

2011-11-03T10:22:00.000-07:00

Very nice Cosmic Italo track although there is not known a lot about the people behind this project.

Riz Ortolani - Il corpo di Linda (1978)

2011-11-01T11:14:00.000-07:00

You won't believe it but this track is really 33 years old! First release was in 1978 as part of the album "La ragazza dal Pigiama Giallo" and a repress came out on a 12inch in 2008. Driving and uplifting.

The Disco Connection - Rock your baby (1982)

2011-11-01T10:52:00.000-07:00

This is a "new" version of George McCrae's super hit "Rock your baby" with a cool vocoder voice and an Italo influence. The German release on ZYX Records is one of the first releases of this essential label which brought Italo to Germany. The 12inch has the release number 5007.

La Bionda - Wanna be your lover (1980)

2011-10-26T11:13:00.000-07:00

This is a very early Italo production which can't hide it's minimalism. The sound is kind of funny in my opinion but cool though. The 12inch is high recommended and you can get it for more than 55 Euros at discogs.

Romanelli - Chain reaction (1982)

2011-10-26T11:09:00.000-07:00

HiNRG cosmic italo synthpop that sounds like a soundtrack.

Kano - Now baby now (1980)

2011-10-24T10:48:00.000-07:00

Kano is so funky, disco, cool and italo.

Ultracity - Klee (2009)

2011-10-24T10:42:00.000-07:00

This track is taken from the EP "Epic Disco Vol. 1" and it fulfills what the name is supposed to promise: EPIC DISCO.

Zodiac - Photo finish (1982)

2011-10-21T04:15:00.000-07:00

This is more Space Electronic Disco Rock - but also a nice one from the album "Music in the universe".

Slang - Johnny Guitar/Pinch roller (1978)

2011-10-21T04:01:00.000-07:00

This gem is so sensationally good. It's a medley with the titles "Johnny Guitar" and "Pinch roller". It's funky, cosmic and sexy. There's an instrumental edit available which is made by Loud-E.

The Beat Broker - My way or the highway (2008)

2011-10-19T02:53:00.000-07:00

First track from the EP with the same name by Californian producer Ryan Bishop.

2011-10-19T02:49:00.000-07:00

Nice slow-mo gem from the EP "Far from ice".

Supersonic Lovers - Nero boogie (2008)

2011-10-17T10:55:00.000-07:00

The Italian duo brings us this track with a mindblowing synthbass.

I-f - I cut my heart out (2007)

2011-10-17T10:50:00.000-07:00

This is a totally obscure track and Italo legend Fred Ventura delivers his voice to this.

Legowelt - Conquestadores extraterrestriales (2007)

2011-10-15T06:02:00.000-07:00

Totally overseen gem from Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt. It's featured on a 12inch called "We Still Kill The Old Way: The Double Double Cross". :-)))

Asso - Don't stop (1983)

2011-10-15T05:58:00.000-07:00

Yeah - 1983!!! Italo disco with a big portion of Funk. That's the stuff!

Eurofunk - Manshortage (1983)

2011-10-12T11:27:00.000-07:00

This is so funky - and good. Long live 1983!!!

XR7 - XR7 (instr.) (1980)

2011-10-12T11:16:00.000-07:00

Strictly influenced by spacey and cosmic 70s stuff with some great guitars.

The Silicon Scientist - When the world slows down (2008)

2011-10-10T11:47:00.000-07:00

This is also from the "SynthStation" album. Powerful synthwork and light vocals. Nearly a synthpop song.

S.C.D. - The move 1 (2008)

2011-10-10T11:43:00.000-07:00

It's taken from the Radio Cosmos release number 2 "SynthStation". Very spacey and "Something Completely Different" --> S.C.D.

Erik Wikström - Autonight (2008)

2011-10-08T05:22:00.000-07:00

This is the second title from the "Marathon" EP. I like it a bit more than "Marathon" itself.

Erik Wikström - Marathon (2008)

2011-10-07T09:35:00.000-07:00

Erik comes from Sweden and is also the man behind "Jackpot" that you also can find here in the blog with "Night flight" and "Ragazza".

This track has been released under his real name on the 12inch with the same name.

John Daly - Move (2007)

2011-10-07T09:31:00.000-07:00

John is an Irish DJ and producer and the owner of the label "Feel Music".

Tantra - The hills of Katmandu / Wishbone (1979)

2011-10-04T11:35:00.000-07:00

First release of this Disco burner was as a 12inch which contains one title on the A-side and the other on the B-side. Both came out again one year later on "The double album" - each one in a mystic and superlong version. Here are the long versions:

1. Hills of Katmandu:

2. Wishbone:

Mr. Pauli - Eva W. (2008)

2011-10-02T03:16:00.000-07:00

Another nice production by Ingmar Pauli from Westcoast Holland. Kind of obscure Cosmic Italo stuff.

Alden Tyrell - Mindless (2006)

2011-10-02T03:11:00.000-07:00

This piece is part of the great double album "Times like these (1999 - 2006" on which Martijn Hoogendijk shows us what NuItalo is about. Some other posts of this album you also can find in the blog by searching for "Alden Tyrell".

Freak Electrique - P.H.A.S.E.R. (2003)

2011-09-28T10:10:00.000-07:00

Epic masterpiece - unbeatable!!!

Onyx - Octagon (1983)

2011-09-28T10:03:00.000-07:00

This is a total overseen production by German Frank Duval who is well known as a producer of soundtrack music - especially for the German cult crime-series "Derrick".
