interested in making italo influenced music?

[jonny boy]

hey there,
i am a producer based in london and am fed up of the usual plodding 4/4 rubbish that epitimised alot of todays house music - am interested in collaborating with other producers to create italo-influenced music, influenced by artists such as d-train, kano, and modern outfits such as metro area and danny wang.
cheers,
j

Are you familiar with artists already doing this? There is quite a growing scene of artists producing music influenced by a mix of italo-disco and electro. One of the big areas where this music is emerging from is Holland.
Some artists are

Very much italo influences there with an electro touch...

The list can't be complete without Kiko aka Sinema, (& formerly Phunky Data) one of the most innovative French house act of the last years. I can't seem to find the Kiko-titled lp in France, but the Sinema-titled one is very easy 2 find, & a gem for all italo-disco lovers (with an electro-house spin, though).
Other productions of note are "Hitmaker" & "Italomatique", which as afr as I know are only available on vinyl (possibly on the Blackjack label).
