  Italo disco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Italo disco is a musical marketing term introduced in 1983 by Bernhard Mikulski, the founder of ZYX Music.
It was also the year that the term italo disco was reputedly coined by Bernhard Mikulski, the founder of ZYX Music (Germany), when ZYX released their first volume of "The Best of Italo Disco" series.
Italo disco developed a cult following in the early 1990s, and electro releases in 1993 by I-F, in 1998 by Legowelt and Tobias Bernstrup, and in 2000 by Jeans Team, Bangkok Impact, and Hong Kong Counterfeit were among those that fuelled renewed interest.

 A history of disco music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Disco is an up-tempo style of dance music that originated in the early 1970s, mainly from funk and soul music, popular originally with gay and fl audiences in large U.S. cities, and derives its name from the French word discothèque (meaning nightclub), coined from disc + bibliotèque (library) by La Discothèque in Rue Huchette.
This music was coined disco, of which there are two flavors and time periods: disco 1.0, which is firmly connected to soul and funk in the first half of the seventies and disco 2.0 in the second half of the seventies, as the incarnation of gay hedonistic club culture.
Disco had already been going for ten years when the first electronic drum tracks began to appear out of Chicago, and in that time it had already suffered the slings and arrows of merciless commercial exploitation, dilution and racial and sexual prejudice which culminated in the 'disco sucks' campaign.

 Disco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Initially, most disco songs catered to a nightclub/dancing audience only, rather than general audiences such as radio listeners, but there are many aspects proving opposite tendencies as well; popular radio-hits were being played in discothèques, as long as they had an easy to follow rhythmic bass-pattern close to 120 BPM (beats per minute).
Disco fever reached a peak in South Asia after the release of the Bollywood film Disco Dancer in 1982.
Disco music diverged from the rock of the 1960s, elevating music from the raw sound of 4-piece garage bands to refined music composed by producers who contracted local symphony and philharmonic orchestras and session musicians.

 The Ultimate Disco Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
Disco music diverged from the self-composed and performed rock of the 1960s, seeing a return (though not universally) to the influence of producers who hired session musicians to produce hits for different artists whose role was purely to sing and market the songs.
Avid disapproval of disco among some rock fans, who perceived rock as more serious and valuable, existed throughout the disco era, growing as disco's influence grew, such that the expression "Disco Sucks" was common by the late 1970s.
Instruments commonly used by disco musicians included the rhythm guitar, bass, strings (violin, viola, cello), string synth (a type of organ), trumpet, saxophone, trombone, piano, and drums (sometimes using an auxiliary percussionist as well as somebody on a drum kit).

 The Return of Italo Disco!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Where in 1975 a disco outfit might be a 10-12 piece band, by 1980 it could conceivably be one guy, working all the parts himself with synths and drum machines.
And there were stateside artists making a name for themselves in the biz--Patrick Cowley, The Flirts, Company B, Bobby Orlando, Sylvester, Divine, Taco--but their music mostly only found favour with the non-english speaking consumers of Italo Disco.
That's actually one of the greater and more campy ironies about Italo: most of the music was sung in english, a habitual second language to all of its artists.

 Disco Style.com: Confuzed Disco Preview/Review
Italo Disco is a style of music that seems to be as little understood today as it was in the early to mid '80s when the folks at ZYX Music in Germany coined the term to describe the large amount of electronic dance music that was flooding out of Italy, and other nations.
However, these tracks and many other Italo gems also winged their way across the Atlantic, ending up in the mixes at Chicago's adventurous WBMX radio station and in the sets of Chicago legend and Music Box resident, Ron Hardy.
The term Italo Disco is bandied around at the moment by trendy, hipster DJs as though it was a flavor of the month, but these tracks prove that the music had substance, vision and most of all, a great sense of fun, and those are rare qualities in anything trendy.
