SMIRNOV. It's been a few months but we're back with a series of video specials. This month it's one of my favourite genres of music, 'Italo Disco'. It's been seen a hip genre in recent years but I was listening to it in the 80s before I even knew it was called 'Italo', so that doesn't make me rather better but older. I'll be writing more in depth about its history and influence on another blog. For now here's a few Italo classics to get you in the mood. (Yes, it can be naff and cheesy but boy it's so much fun and when it hits the bullseye it's the coolest thing since frozen sliced bread)

The next couple of videos are not strictly 'Italo' but more 'Europop' or 'Eurobeat'/Hi-NRG. Christ, compartmentalising is such a drag really.
I'll leave you with one of my favourite pop singles of all time.
