    Anybody here like the early 90's Italian house records like "Touch Me" by the 49ers, "Everybody, Everybody" Black Box or "Keep Warm" by Jinny?

    I like some late 80's early 90's - Italian House and Garage

    Black Box and Jinny as mentioned
    Double Dee - Found Love
    Joy Salinas - Rockin Romance
    Double You - Please Don't Go
    Candice - Move It (Sounds like Salsoul Orchestra)
    etc..

    I've got 49ers on Vinyl and it says -89

    Are there not a lot of fans of Italian House or are you not familiar with what Italian House is?

    Actually, Black Box & 49ers was IMO the best house out there at the time because of the musicality and lush production that's always part of the Italian sound. Italian dance music dating back to the early 80s was always great and definitely similar to the best of the NYC sound in any era.

    There was a time when I used to play quite a lot of Italo house, the ones that stayed with me were:
    Cool Jack "Just Come" Francois K. played this brilliantly at M.O.S.
    D.Rail "Come on down" (?)
    Jhonnie Parker "Love It Forever"
    DJ Franco Zaferella(?) We Gotta Do It
    Esta La Musica ( used to mix with the Cegan Bekic Relight My Fire / Let's Get Horny thing )
    Lots of happy memories - if only I could remember them!

    My favourite Italian house track is 'Satisfy Your Dream' by Paradise Orhestra from '89. Very deep & lush. 8)

    Heard about a good italian house label called "heartbeat"...
    everytime I hear a good and deep house-track from the 90's,
    it's always this label.

    Sueno Latino

    Sueno Latino?

    Of course, man! what a tune!
    How could I forget about it... 8)

    There was a quite good series of 12" remixes on "distinct'ive" ten years later (2000). But the original paradise version still sounds so fresh, no new versions needed.

    For some recent Italian house, check out Tutto Matto... I have rarely heard anyone do funk and disco better than these crazy Italians.

    Yes, my favourite disco was often Italian (Giorgio, Kasso, Jacques fred Petrus stuff, Tantra, Baciotti, Juliano Salerni stuff, The Ring etc.etc.) & it has to be said, those Italian stallions are the best at house music too. 8)

    Kasso? Were they Italian?
    I remember their wicked choon from 1982 on Ramms Horn called "Kasso"
    Wouldn't it be classed more as a disco track, not Italia house?

    Yes it was disco, as was everything else I listed; I think you missed my point. Do you mean to say you aren't familiar with the other artists? They are all quite well-known (or so I thought) disco artists.

    I knew about Jaques Fred Petrus because of Change, etc. And "Kasso" because it had a lot of airplay back in '82. During the latter part of the '80s in the UK, Italio House sprang up, Sueno Latino among others was doing well, but I wasn't a great big fan of the genre and just liked the odd choon, and therefore didn't make the effort to find out more about artists and song titles.

    this week I'll be featuring some Italian style house at the end of my internet radio show, mixed by a local guy here in LA. it's very cool, very different than the sort of house music you normally hear.
    f anyone wants to hear it you can go to my website and click on the internet radio tab at the top and there is a timer counting down till show time for those of you in other timezones, or if you're in pacific usa (california etc) its 2 pm on tuesday...
    my web address is
    http://www.ALLHOUSEMUSIC.com
    I will be playing other styles of contemporary house music for about 2 and a half to 3 hours, then the Italio-House duiring the last hour and a half..

    The key man in Italian house were Gianfranco Bortolloti. He is behind everything i personaly like, such as: 49'ers, Sharada House Gang, Capella, Club House and many more. Maybe some of you know his song in Italo Disco style: Paul Sharada - Florida.

    I loved that Italian House sound at the beginning of the 90's....favourite song was Capella's Helyom Halib on the Media label.

    A personal fave Italian house track of mine is 'I Say Yeah' by Secchi featuring Orlando Johnson from '91. Pure class. 8)

    Sounds cheesy today but I loved it back in 1989 when it came out.

    I loved both the 49ers and Black Box. I actually saw Black Box perform at the Palladium in NYC (actually, just a few singers with backing music) in the early 90's. Two great albums!

    I don't think it qualifies in the same category, but I also loved the D-Mob album, and Captain Hollywood Project from that same era.

    Yea, you're right it's not yhe same categorie, it's more eurodance and eurobeat but i also like it. Captain Hollywood was great in the beginning and then in the end i could not stand them how bad they sound!
