There's a reason Dave Lee aka Joey Negro puts his name to so many aliases and compilations; it's because he brandishes an encyclopaedic knowledge of disco, boogie, house, Go Go, funk and plenty more besides. As you might have guessed from the title of this compilation on his own Z Records label, the latest focus of his attentions is Italo House, more specifically the ear in Italian dance music when trace influences from the scenes in 1980s England, Chicago and New York coalesced to form a sound that was entirely it's own. Typically for a Joey Negro compilation, this double disc sets presents a deeper insight into what the movement was like with some twenty four tracks of underground Italian house which has never been given the retrospective treatment it deserves. Until now that is!
"The late 80s were undoubtedly a golden era for dance music. A time which saw the birth of many genres and sub genres - from acid house to hardcore to Balearic - and of course Italo house. If you ask Jo Raver to name an Italo house track, they'd probably come back with Blackbox, Jinny, Fiddlefatti or one of many big piano tunes. At the same time there was another equally distinctive sound coming out of Italy - a warmer, deeper, more emotional style which didn't yield any commercial hits. The sound was more jazzy and soulful with syncopated percussion, dreamy pads and, though piano was often used, it wasn't in the obviously programmed, big breakdown style which became a cliche of the Italo house genre. This more underground side of Italo was closer to the original American house sound, but still retained a very European flavour. In common with other Z compilations which have featured Brit-funk and go-go, this album was an important release for me. Important because I love a lot of the records, many of which have been largely forgotten about, but also because there really was a unique sound coming out of Italy, spread across many labels and involving numerous producers. As a result, it has never really been fully showcased like this before. I'm glad this album exists for other people to discover or re-discover the deeper side of Italo house." - Joey Negro (Feb 2014)
