I love this transition period where many italo producers started making higher BPM songs. The eurobeat identity of Initial D racecar music had not been fully established yet and the songs still have that 80's production that i love. This period of music seems pretty underloved by fans of eurobeat and fans of italo, but many of these songs combine my favorite aspects of each genre. Chunky 80's synths, high BPM, Agogo bells, bongos, Mauro Farina's voice... I'd love to see some shared appreciation, so post some of your favorites!!!

King Kong & D'Jungle Girls ‎– Boom Boom Dollar

Rudy & Co - Mama Radio

Mark Farina - Gunfire

Joe Yellow - Wild Boy

Dr. Money - Time After Time

Aleph - Fire on the Moon

One of the best italo disco songs forever, my opinion.

This is truly horrible but I feel that an instrumental dub could be awesome, or maybe a decent female vocal. Now we know there was a good reason Den Harrow didn't sing his own material.

Got to be one of the best of the modern instrumental Bordello a Parigi bangers! Put in a mix here in case you want to hear it in context.

A little bit of Italo, a dash of Synth, all good times.

I love the choreography of the singer. So iconic.

Awesome!!!!

There is a song sung by a woman in Italo Disco or similar genre that sounds like gibberish. It goes "ackatackacka-tah!" or something like that. Probably not those exact syllables, but the song name is the same as the gibberish. The song just repeats that gibberish bit over and over. It's a b-side. I confirmed it exists on vinyl on Discogs and it exists in an audio-only video on YouTube. But it's not that interesting so I forgot about it for a year. Got curious about it again, but I could not find it anywhere when cross checking from my collection and it already disappeared from my history. It's seriously bugging me that I can't find it! I know the group has multiple 12 inches and another one may be more popular and exist on CD but this one I think is only vinyl.
