Italian House

[Phoster]

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?

[SandraDee]

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...

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)
