Italo disco is a very wide term that refers to various types of European disco and pop-styled dance music, that evolved during the early 1980s in Italy, Germany, Spain and other parts of Europe.

Italo disco music has a distinct, futuristic and spacey sound which was created using synthesizers, drum machines, and vocoders. During the 1980s, the term "Italo-disco" was used in Europe to describe all the non UK-based dance productions, including some Canadian ones.

In the UK and the USA, Italo-disco was virtually unknown to the mainstream consumer and existed only underground.
