DS LP X — DISCOTECA SOUND — Italian Discoteca Underground: 1975–1986
Everyone knows the story of American disco.
But few are aware that, between the late 1960s and the late 1980s, Italy wrote a parallel one — spontaneous, surprising, and incredibly creative.
It is a story that spans two distinct seasons: the Italian disco of the 1970s — melodic, handmade, sometimes naïve yet always original — and the emerging Italo Disco of the 1980s, electronic, futuristic, and lightheartedly projected toward the future.
Two different languages, yet both driven by the same desire for freedom and modernity.
Discoteca Sound — Italian Discoteca Underground 1975–1986 brings together 18 rare tracks — including two previously unreleased — that narrate this transition: from the orchestral and sentimental disco of Italian dance halls to the synthetic and visionary sound of the first drum machines.
A journey through private archives, local labels, regional studios and forgotten voices: the sonic map of a country that has always danced, but to its own rhythm.
From Mediterranean disco to Italo Disco, from the dim lights of provincial dance halls to the early home synthesizers, every track is a window onto an Italy that dreamed the dancefloor as a universal language of connection.
This compilation celebrates 10 years of Disco Segreta — a decade devoted to researching, recovering and appreciating the golden age of Italian Disco and Italo Disco.
An act of justice for the artists whose moment was never acknowledged by history.
Because dancing today remains, more than ever, a living act of memory.
