Promise Me Delight: Italo Disco And European Pop From The Golden Age
Between 1978 and 1988 European disco producers changed the face of pop music forever, creating a golden era outside the gaze of the US and UK pop charts.
Kano, Den Harrow and Gazebo scored hit after hit, spilling out of the clubs and onto turntables across the continent with classics like ‘Another Life’, ‘Catch The Fox’ and ‘I Like Chopin’. Forty years later these highly sought-after hits (and more!) have found a new life, thanks to streaming and a new generation of dancers with an ear for the electric and obscure.
"Promise Me Delight” is a love letter to Italo disco and European pop, and an imagined soundtrack to wild 80s nights of hot abandon we could never truly have known, compiled by record store veteran David Perry, who runs East London's longest running all-vinyl Italo disco night.
