Inspired by TWP - I redescoverd for myself underground 80s slow techno (New Beat) from Belgium - and the beginning reminds me of the music that the kid has in his ghettoblaster. TWP - No Quarter: Do you have some underground, unknown or forgotten music from the 80s that’s worth a mention? ---

**Italo Disco** When I say Italo Disco most people probably go, huh? But it´s really excellent. A very special genre that seems to be tied to the early to mid 80s and sounds remarkably close to the current synth wave trend. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0eEkSsoiUY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0eEkSsoiUY) All those tracks can be found on a compilation album called “I-Robots” that you really should check out: > **[Various - I-Robots Italo Electro Disco Underground Classics](https://www.discogs.com/de/I-Robots-Italo-Electro-Disco-Underground-Classics/release/237059)** > > Label: Irma - IRMA 515186-1 • Format: 2x, Vinyl LP, Compilation • Country: Italy • Genre: Electronic • Style: Italo-Disco, Electro Easily my favourite subgenre of italian electronic music next to italian horror film music. ---
