And it was absolutely fucking awesome.
Italo rarely graces the shores of West Australia, but I get ultra glad when it does.
Robotnic is not italo
he played some
Probably but I seen all these flyers with "Godfather of Italo disco" "Italo disco legend" etc. which is ofcourse utter bollocks
cause he had nothing to do with that
Problems is a pretty darn good track though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd call that italo.
I wouldn't call it italo.
electronic proto house 
Let me be clear that I am not dissing Robotnick, I am just supporting his stance on this topic, he never saw himself as being italo etc. What it is then...proto-house or I guess he was more associated with the semi-experimental electronic scene...more direction of wave or whatever there is a fine line between it
i would call it synthesizer romance extraordinaire.
what he does now is probably something else...
...isn't it just "synthpop"?
I think that AR had to much 303 funky groovy rythm to be just synthpop. Roots with black music, like for example shari vari, no ?
trance
Minimal
AR 's Interview 05/05/2007

Also remember that back in the day Italo was for guido's ;p Most of the kids that like it now would be beaten up constantly by those types
