Italy, 2020: i'm here listening.
And now it's 2021 and I'm still an enormous fan of this timeless classic piece... 3 years since I discovered it and since then, not a single week went by without at least playing it ONCE... but in many, many weeks I played it numerous times... luckily UA-cam can't wear out, would this song have been on a record, it would LONG have been reduced to... powder or something?
2022 too
2024 and still love this jam
The most 80s sound you can imagine. Love it.
I didn't even exist in the 80s and I still love the music from then!
Sounds so much 80s!!! PLEASE MORE ! ! ! JUNO-60
Masterpiece. 1984-5-6..best years of my life.
if I was a director making an movie set in the 80s I would hire you in a heartbeat to make a wicked soundtrack This track is great.
I really love this video, i watch it over and over again. 🤪🔈🔊🎹🎧
Do you see the box under the SH-101? It is a Simmons SDSV (triggered by the TR-808 in this video). I don't use samples, I use the real things ;) I didn't have Koto in mind, was just jamming with a typical italo melodic line, but yes, I see it's similar
Machines!!!
Visitors 👏
@@salvatorepanzali3660 I used to love Visitors until I heard this... Much better... I just tried listening to Visitors again after a few months lol and I went back to this 😉
Man, why do I dig this Old school 80’s disco beat and sound so much? I have no idea why but this is my Jam! They say you shouldn’t live in the past and be nostalgic but when i hear this is, I say screw the present! I like the past better and I’m going back!
Thanks for recreating it and bringing that 80’s Era Sound back!
Perfect music to use as a soundtrack to when I drive my Fiat Uno :D
Fiat Uno owner here! o/
I laughed so much at this and I dunno why LOL
I used to have one :(
ua-cam.com/video/EX1ax-aeUSE/v-deo.html It's better the Uno Turbo rather than the Uno Diesel. Even with th problem on brakes that made it a coffin on wheels 😁
Works on doblo too
All these years later, and this still sounds fantastic
Love this! I wish Italo-disco had been more well known in the U.S.
A true hardware sound. Love that. Thank you Paolo!
That exaggerated snare drum! Classic!
Italia, 2022 - sono qui ad ascoltare e nella mente scorrono le immagini della spensierata estate 1984. Sei un grande!
wow. that's how i remember italian disco back in the 80s. nice.
Paolo, it was exactly THIS video and your beautiful music that made me decide to buy my first piece of classic gear: a real, original, minty TR-808! On to the next, a Juno-60!
Best 80s Italo disco sound...after the 80s ending!
This sound was also popular in France back in 1984. Lots of italian artists were played on the radios with songs written in this style.
This is Italo Disco how it sounded like. Great educational AND fun to listen video. Thank you.
Yes, thank you, with the SDSV is very easy to come up with interesting sounds, simply turn the knobs until you find a cool sound - it can do anything from synare disco booings, to italo toms, to metal / industrial, to realistic drums :)
where is the wonderful music that takes me back to when discos were the best time in the 80s
Bravo! Beautiful sound from 80's
Супер!!!!!! Спасибо огромное за исполнение трека!!!! 80-ые рулят!!!
Hey Synthman this is the best style of music ever. i dont know why this music isnt still in vogue its just the best. love that synthbrass and those deep simmonsV drums best tones ever best style ever.... love it!
i like this guy and his music. daje forte frá.
3:00 Wooooow!!! It really takes you to mid 1980's
I was the one to suggest taping the SH-101's transpose button all those years ago. I'm surprised to see so many people think this song's too slow. I prefer the slower Italo Disco over the faster Hi-NRG and Eurobeat.
Thank you for suggesting it, 100DollarHeadache! I also prefer the slower tempos a la Valerie Dore... but I think many people are not familiar with the genre and think it should be faster. Back in the day in Italy they had both - slower and faster songs.
You gotta love those 80s..
Italy....... 30 years ago. Dang it!! Time has certainly passed since.
1981 was 40 years ago now!
Mid 1980s electronic sound is my favorite, i love it more than italo house.
Me too..and this is because after 1987 the music is gone in Digital.
The music shops was full of CD's.
Only the used synths after '87 are analog. But today.....there is a return of analog sound...
awesome tune, loove this music. Thank you!
Old Laserdance feeling is coming up, when I listen to the Juno 60
your music makes me happy
Tack från hjärtat, Patrik :)
great response to answer and intelligent.
Amazing!! ^_^ I feel Italo proud!! ^_^
Alberto, thanks so much!
That Juno 60 sound is amazing, almost sounds like a vocoder is on there!
That's the famous Juno-60 Chorus :-)
better than radio! !!!
Damon Siegiel
Radios Dead! It’s all Political Talk and Bad music!
WAY better! Incomparable!
@@dynjarren7523 😅🤣😂no shit. I ment the mix in frequency texture. Not the music vs...bs...
this is an absolutely killer track.
Thats the sound I grew up with and played as a DJ...
You inspired me to do Italo
You know how to make an 80's man happy!
I loved italo disco at the time especially polyphonic songs.
A man, a machine
Boy I'd sell my Tedybear for this gear. and i love my Teddybear. Sounds brilliant. Very well done. Love italo disco.
вот это СУПЕР!!!!!!!!!!Автору-SynthMania полный respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Jupiter-8 is "at the doctor" at the moment for a small power supply problem, should be back soon
It's year 2021 now but I still have to choke the arpeggiator button with a piece of folded paper on my Roland System-8. So nothing has changed since those great Italo Disco days yet.
Ha - I guess it's a classic movie by now... I went to see it when it came out at the cinema as a kid :) "Shall we play a game, David?"
Beautiful
Man I love your tunes. So fantastic textures!!!
Grande, questi sono i suoni che mi hanno accompagnato durante la scuola media! Gli Alphaville erano la colonna sonora delle mie estati adolescenziali!
WOOOOOW!!!! Really amazing!! Italo Disco forever!
Piano art...................................the best.
lts amazing 👍👍.I listen to this everytime.
I loved this song
Round sound ftw! Love it.
Yes, one of the readers here, 100DollarHeadache I think mentioned using tape to hold it down - I never thought of it :D I don't like to ruin a synth's surface, but I used the "console tape" that I had from American Recorder Technologies and it's PERFECT to hold down the button indefinitely, and doesn't ruin the surface of the synth :)
Love it. The Roland Juno 60 is one of my favorite synths.
Nice! Love the sounds of the 80 es...:)
Ahhh those italian 80's .. Pozzoli, Scotch, Baltimora, Miko, and so many others ... I have them on Vynil.
I wished I lived where you lived as a teenager. I would've loved the music. I grew up listening to Chicago house music in the early/mid 80's. I can recall the influence of disco Italia in some of the music. Love your channel!
Still very good and easy entertainment! Well done!
Great track! You really nailed the 80's sound!
Sei il numero uno!!!
Seeing this, I want to do this too :) We had a juno60 at school, but never a chance to do something like this. btw born in 1984. I am listening to Italo a lot since 2004, thanx to internet and the ones who keep it alive.
The Juno-60 is just one of the many gear you need for making music like this. This video very, very vlearly shows what it takes to create an Italo-hit! I just can't stop listening to it...
Cool! I began listening electronic music in 1984, roughly. Had no contacts but radio. And school disco :) In the moments like this I miss my Juno-106. But I sold it for two good reasons. I'll be also doing studio music videos one day. Oh, I actually wanted just say it's really nice to find younger italo lovers :)
Fantastic sound ! Fantastic music ! Fantastic artist !!!
Fantastico ed unico sound degli 80! complimenti!
I love these sounds
F'ing awesome! Great drum programming!
Sounds spot on!
Awesome sounds! Reminds me very much of Koto - Visitors.
Yeah, melody really reminds it
🔥🔥🔥❤️🎹 Smdh! Most people nowadays are miserable & very annoying. I miss having my Synthesizers
great work
Fossimo negli anni 80 questa sarebbe una hit , è spettacolare
This patch on the Juno-60 is so good ! As the track too.
Still loving the sound. Thank you, and may i wish you a super 2017.
this sounds amazing. It would be cool if famous artists made music like this these days.
Friggin amazing man!!!
Great Simprove , tuff, Sounds like the 80s all over again. Reminds me of Human League Dont You Want Me, Men at work, The final countdown etc. all in one.
No, there were more synth rock/pop
I still love that snare! :) Keep up the great work!
Indeed, that was the part that immediately grabbed my attention too! I had to suppress the urge to turn the volume up to eleven :-)
Love getting up in the morning and listening to your music love the bass
I loved that
Beautiful music.
Glad you like it!
Fantastic demo! Great job!
Nice one, SynthMania, always enjoy waking up to a new video from you!
Nicy. Great Italo tribute
Man, I just can't stop listening to this song! Phenomenal!!
This sh*t is really off the hook! :D
If you'd plan on releasing an album, I'd totally buy it!
Very good one. I like the main melody pretty much; you use them in a lot of your songs and I whistle that often, for example when taking out the trash or under the shower.
the opening is like plane preparing to throttle up sequence jet airliner engine lol i love it
Super ... Takes me way back to the good old days!! Love this:-)
Straight into my collection of all-time synth faves.
Thank you.
What's that little piece of tape for? =)
Thank you, the piece of tape is to hold the transpose button down.
Splendid! I love your performance very much.
Amazing
Grandissimo
this is awesome
che bella questa canzone 😍😍
Sounds so good....
Air melody...i flyyyyy....................
Whereas 'Midnight Jam' wasn't really my taste, 'Italy 1984 is fantastic'. I am very impressed your improvising; it is pure skill. I can't improvise well at all.
Great lesson of italo disco style
