I was 10 years old, as an acquaintance of mine put a tape in his boombox. It was labelled with 'Italo Disco'. He pressed the play button and some seconds later I got hooked on this style of music. It has such an easy-going lightness, has simple melodies thus easy to remember and is danceable too.

In memory of that important 80s music style I carefully selected twelve Italo Disco songs produced between 1983 and 1987, which I mixed founded on the principles of beat and harmonic mixing (harmonic-mixing.com).

The cover art is heavily inspired by ZYX cover designs (discogs.com/de/Various-The-Bes.../release/153780) using the original fonts Candice and Dubbeldik.

So put your sunglasses on and listen to this mix. Soon it will bring a smile on your face and on the faces of the people around you.

Do you enjoy this mix? Yes? Fine! Stay listening: iamotso.com
