    I dig this. Love Italo-Disco/Eurowave. You into any of the early 80s stuff? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrcx8EKk2Jk <--- I hear this sampled without credit all over the place and it's probably my fav of the style. The overlapping french disco/disco boogie of that era is pretty interesting too if you like Justice or Daft Punk.

      I don't know that tune but it's groovy also! I keep going back to maybe ten 80s italo disco tunes, feels like a bit of a hidden gem forgotten genre, weird there hasn't been a proper revival, only other derivatives, it's pretty catchy with its soaring synths

      discovered the genre from this set a long time ago, it had a few 80s italo disco tunes mixed in but so well you kind of don't notice he's jumping back and forth in time, Casco - Cybernetic Love is a great one from there in that style

        Cybernetic Love is a classic! Outside of Hercules and the Love Affair a pure revival never really took off. I think in the US the momment it would have happened it was overshadowed by Electro Clash/Blog House then Big Room and Brostep. This Aeroplane set is incredible. Never heard it. I was a big fan of the essential mixes and breezeblocks from back then. Surprised I had haven't heard this before. The liberal use of the kaoss pad effects needs to make a come back. I love that cheap ass digital sound.
