Hi all, can’t remember if I mentioned this, but I’m working on a book about the history of Italian dance music. Starts around 1970 and goes up the end of the last century. I’m just writing about the early years of Italo house and I’m trying to think of cheesy, but good, Italo records from that period (1988 - 1992). Anyone got any suggestions? I’m thinking stuff like Jinny - Keep Me Warm and Francesco Zappala & DJ Professor We Gotta Do It. All other suggestions gratefully received! ---

I’m torn on this record - in 90 on first release it was momentarily a top club record and it “went off” when played (e.g., takes me back to Flying @ El Metros). It later passed into “cheese” territory and a few yrs after got into the UK charts, hence its rightful inclusion here. ---

Me, and many other DJs around the planet, still mixing this music. There are hundreds if not thousands overlooked Italian House 12" from the early 90s. There are also some tunes, that were produced in Italo House style, even in 1993, but I would say 1993 was the end of this style. From what I was able to find out, the Italian House productions weren’t anticipated in, let’s say, Italian ‘commercial’ clubs and discotheques. It did, however, gained its popularity in gay and transexual clubs. And as the years progress, the Italian audience get convinced to this music eventually. The first Italian House productions are tied to Gianfranco Bortolotti and we are talking about late 80s time when era of Italo Disco started to fade out. The big Italian House producers were, to name a few, Pierre Feroldi, Walter Cremonini, Marcello Catalano, Roberto Zucchini, Pieradis Rossini, Maurizio Pavesi and many others. These days early 90s Italian House music is still being played/mixed in Italy, Brazil and there are a many fans in the UK. Check out my Italian House mixes on Mixcloud [Mixcloud](https://www.mixcloud.com/djm12/playlists/italo-house-vinyl-mixes/) If you are interested in any tune, let me know and I’ll have a look for an ID. Cheers.
