We're digging through Italo Disco year-by-year in the 1980s. We're starting with the year 1980. In 1979, Disco faced significant backlash in the United States. In 1980, some Disco acts continued to be released. It would be a few years before Italo Disco really hit its stride in Europe. However, 1980 saw music released by some key players and influencers including Giorgio Moroder, Kano, Easy Going and Claudio Simonetti, and the La Bionda brothers.
