The La Bionda Brothers
updated links
Sicilian brothers Carmelo and Michelangelo La Bionda are known as the inventors of Italian Disco. They began recording in 1973 but debuted even earlier as songwriters. Their 1978 hit One for You, One for Me (a #9 pop hit in Italy) even managed to become a big pop hit in the U.K. among other countries. That in addition to Deserts of Mars and Sandstorm are my favorite La Bionda tunes.
They went on to produce for other artists too. Their seminal La Bionda album featured the influential disco hit Sandstorm. It was covered by Darude in the 90's in a house version. They also recorded as D.D. Sound and had other major disco hits including Cafe'.
In the 80's they worked on some soundtracks and with the Italian group Ricchi e Poveri. Their collaboration with the dance duo Righeira in 1983 brought them their most famous hit Vamos a La Playa. A huge record all over Europe. The Bandido album Fratelli La Bionda zip
In 1985 they opened the music studio Logic in Milan and have had many huge stars such as Depeche Mode, Robert Palmer and Rihanna have recorded there.

I think that one of the main reasons I love La Bionda is that they seem to have a real sense of humor. You could call it tongue in cheek disco.
Some of my favorite D.D. Sound (Disco Delivery Sound) songs are 1,2,3,4 Gimme Some More! Cafe and Hootchie Coochie. Their first album came out in 1977 and were quite active for two years. The amazing single Disco Bass was a #6 hit in Italy in 1977 and 1,2,3,4 got to #6 in 1978. 4 DD Sound Albums

Agostino Presta as Ago in the best italo disco album ever recorded For You
repost with refreshed links
1982 Full Time Records Italy release Ago is one of my all time favorite Italo Disco releases. I would venture to call it the best Italo Disco full album ever recorded.
I enjoy listening to it straight through, each and every track. I can't say that for many albums.
Agostino Presta made a funky type of italo disco. He quickly became one of the faces of italo disco and appeared on many t.v. shows around Europe.
Some of his notable releases after this delicious For You l.p. are Computer in my Mind and I Want You. You Make Me Do It was recorded in the studio named Calieri in Bari, so unlike most Italo Disco this was a made in Italy doc from the Southern part of the peninsula. It was a maxi single in 1981 so it's also one of the earliest releases of the genre.
Italian critics never embraced it but in any case it's considered one of the true classics of the italo disco genre.
AN AGO ZIP
I wonder if this post will reach beyond the few typical Italo Disco fans on the site. It's definitely worth a listen even for those that are not usually turned on to Italo Disco. I think it's also quite demonstrative of what many called boogie in the early 80's. I've even heard it called Modern Soul.
