Italo Disco

Forza ragazzi! The satin drenched sound of the 80s is calling your name! Pioneered by Giorgio Moroder, taken to new heights by the likes of Gino Soccio, and re-purposed for the 21st century by Krystal Klear, this classic blend of analogue synth-wizardry and disco sensibilities refuses to go out of style.

Combining the best of dusty arpeggios, wacky drum-machines, epic poly-synths, and a harmonic language that's closer to Abba than Arca, we present an iconic collection that cuts no corners. We sourced the poly-Moog original, recorded the cheesiest vocoders (Voice of Q anyone?) and saturated our beats exactly like they used to sound - all served with MIDI and the formats and file structures you've grown to love.

Arpeggio Loops: Sensual yet powerful, ethereal, and evocative, the arpeggio is a staple of the Italo-disco sound. We present 25 analogue medleys complete with MIDI that any Italian master would be proud to put their name to.

Drum Loops: Hard-hitting, rhythmically complex, and classically funky drum grooves and loops from a variety of analogue machinery. Expect pitched down toms, noisy synthesised snares, and authentic LM-1 drum samples, programmed to perfection, and served with all constituent stems at 120 BPM.

Bass Loops: Funky yet raw, the Italo bass sound takes traditional disco shapes and imbues them with analogue warmth and grit. Key/tempo labelled as standard and served with MIDI files where possible.

Vocoder Loops: It's the voice of the robot - space-age sounds and electronic sibilance as was the height of fashion during the heyday of Italo-disco. Classic vocoder vocal loops clocking in at 120 BPM.

Chord Loops: Anthemic & synthetic, it's the harmonic loop that says more. 13 classy polyphonic keyboard files complete with MIDI counterparts where possible.

Pad Loops: The warm and evolving pad plays a big part in the sound of this genre, underpinning and structuring all the rhythmic material that happens on top. Authentic Italo-disco pads in a range of keys with MIDI.

Synth Loops: Gleeful lead loops bursting with euphoria and hope for a new world. Such is the sound of these 27 synth loops!

Drum & FX Shots: No Italo-disco sample pack is complete without a selection of noisy bloops, spaceship risers, or drum-shots from era-authentic drum machines. 103 one-shot samples.
