Italo Disco is, in a sense, futuristic European (spec. Italian) disco. It’s usually dark and minimalistic with spacey synthesizers, robotic vocals and repetitive beats.

Ever wonder who created those awesome scores for Scarface, Midnight Express or The NeverEnding Story? Well it’s the same guy who pioneered Italo Disco…Giorgio Moroder. And he had a hell of a moustache!
