Italo Dance

Italo dance music emerged in Italy during the 1980s, where a blend of disco, synth-pop, and the desire to keep the dance floor busy led to some seriously catchy tunes. Characterised by bouncy synths, robotic vocals, and a prodigious use of reverb, it sounds like a neon-lit disco ball had a delightful breakdown at a fashion show. The genre's quirks have made it a cheeky favourite amongst dance enthusiasts, proving that even in a world of seriousness, sometimes all you need is a bit of fluffy synth to lift the mood.
