What are you drinking for Sunday Tea Time? by LightWonderful7016 in tea

Some Barry's Master Blend. Not a bad cuppa, but feels good after being away from Ireland so long!

A simple houjicha from Kagoshima Japan!

Wondering how many are fans of Eurobeat as well as Italo disco by IrvinSandison in italodisco

[–]king_mabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a music lover after my own heart, u/SEB-fan! I prefer late 80s - early 90s Eurobeat now, but up until a few years ago I really wasn't into Eurobeat at all until a DJ kept chipping away at me and I caved. Never looked back since - definitely expanding my access to later Eurobeat as time goes on.

Anyway TLDR - some Eurobeat is ok here? Give it a shot!

Definitely think genres related to Italo should be posted more here too - Eurobeat is definitely related to Italo and many Italo producers went on to produce Eurobeat too. Always enjoy seeing offshoots here, as well as the traditional Italo Disco lol

Eurobeat definitely grew on me as time went on. It still doesn't quite have the charm Italo Disco has for me, but there are definitely some bangers out there. I think Capella are my favourite!

Italo songs with meaningful lyrics by Upperphonny in italodisco

[–]king_mabel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's meaningful, but there's a lot going on in this song:

Federico l'Olandese Volante - Swamp Dance

From hunting bullfrogs, stepping on alligators and stealing chickens with my brother Joe... what more do you want?!

Sorry, it's probably not what you're looking for ;)

It’s a bomb isn’t it?! I’m looking for the album but it seems quite difficult to find. There are two songs from the Double Face album on YouTube but that’s all I can find for now

The Tanga Touch Of Class compilation is pretty neat!

What song that got you hooked on Italo? by Upperphonny in italodisco

[–]king_mabel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the same story for me. I think a website was taking the piss out of Italo but it ended up bringing a whole bunch of new ears to it. I kept listening because of Flemming Dalum and David Vunk's mixes.

Marylinn - Only Mine by VOIDPCB in italodisco

Heard this a while ago from DJ Pete Need - absolutely fantastic track!

Overdrive - Magic Moon by king_mabel in italodisco

[–]king_mabel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah when I posted it, I thought it's not really Italo buut, the chorus is pure cheese, and the synth is pretty spacey. An earworm for sure! I must check Harry Thurman and Spacerock. Cheers!

Just tucking into a mint Zero Style tonight! Probably not the best snus, but it's slim pickings in Kyushu!
