A brief history of Italo House

At the end of the 1980s, house records, saturated with grasping piano parts, began to appear in the UK charts. In 1989, the genre received its anthem, the standard and best-selling track Ride on Time by the Italian band Black Box. In the homeland of the musicians, new labels, creators, and production centres immediately appeared to repeat the success with the same recipe. Italo house consists of sonorous cheerful passages, seasoned with the vocals of invited divas or those from foreign records under a smooth house rhythm. Already not so popular in the early 1990s, Italo house enriched the sound of several genres, from progressive house and Eurodance to early forms of hardcore.
