ITALO HOUSE
Italo house is house from Italy that fuses the genre with Italo disco, using electronic piano chords in a more lyrical way than classic Chicago house.[2] The mood is euphoric and anthemic, and the style grew in the late 1980s, reaching the mainstream in 1989 with "Ride on Time".[2] Gianfranco Bortolotti's stable of acts, including Cappella, the 49ers and East Side Beat, and later K-Klass and Felix built on it.[2]
