Italo Express (100% vinyl)

Episode 464 dives straight into the neon glow of 80s dancefloors with a strictly 45s selection of Italo and synth-pop gems. From the sun-kissed romance of Dolce Vita to the darker pulse of Kano, this installment keeps it tight, raw, and analog — just how these records were meant to be heard.

Expect high-energy hooks from Spagna, playful heat from Sabrina, and cult classics by Den Harrow, Righeira, and Ken Laszlo. Deep cuts from Hypnosis and Mr. Me bring that machine-driven edge, while Pino D'Angiò adds a touch of Mediterranean funk.

All killer, no filler - just 7-inch pressure, vintage synth lines, and that unmistakable Italo spirit moving from romance to futurism in under three minutes per side.
