[nrgbeat]

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?

[analogbass]

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.

Some of my Italian house favourites are:
JT Company: Don't Deal With Us
Don Carlos: Alone & Mediterraneo EP's
Alex Neri: The Wizard
Keytronics Ensemble: We Need Music
Be Noir: Give Me Your Love
Soft House Company: What You Need
Korda: Moving Power To The Music
Jill Jones: Bald
Morenas: Cuando Brilla da Luna
Double Dee: Hey You
Riviera Traxx EP's 1-3
49ers: The Message (Absolute & Gemolotto mixes)

i advise you to check out a compilation on "dino" records, called casa italia, some of the best italo house tracks i have heard are on it, actually its the first ever house music i heard! my mother owned a copy of the tape around 94-95. my favoutire track being. "maude - get on the move" 8)

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)

[Phoster]

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.

:P
Sueno Latino? Anyone?

[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.

[SandraDee]

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)

[buckaroo]

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.
