"I-ROBOTS: Italo Electro Disco Underground Classics" is a new compilation released by IRMA Records on January 2004.
The sound of the 80's, Electro in particular, in recent times has been influencing the world of dance music.
Italian Electro Dance and Italo Disco are among the strongest inspiration sources. 
The first volume of I-Robots (Italian Robots) selected by Gianluca "I-Robots" Pandullo wants to be a precious retrospective on that musical period. 
The compiler is a deejay and record collector from those years.                             
He deliberately chose the most rare and influential tracks rather than the most famous ones, already featured in other international compilations he also decided to not include the vocal versions, that usually are cheesy and generic.

I-Robots aka "Gianluca Pandullo” Turin, Italy native eclectic DJ, Producer, Remixer, A&R man having been active in the scene in one way or another since the early 80's. I-Robots story is one of many genres, styles of music and an insatiable enthusiasm for new experiences.​

From his early days he was inspired by the sounds of Soul-Jazz, Funk, Disco, Ethno and African Rhythms, Krautrock, Cosmic and early Electronic and the sounds that was forming the roots of all contemporary sounds so it would be wrong to pin his productions down to a certain genre.​​

That idea, of exploration and looking for the fresh is at the core of what Gianluca does. Never sticking slavishly to one sound, he has spread his wing wider than most. Nowhere is this more evident than in his live performance, where his passion is to bring it all together in a unique experience with elements of Deep House, Techno & Electronic Music to more modern experiments like Indie Dance & Nu Disco.​​

Just like his own creations, his label follows the same "No Sound is Too Taboo" ethos and it really shows. Featuring an insightful and creative catalog of music. Reflective of his personality and passion as the collaboration he had with a stunning artists team including:​​
Giorgio Moroder, Daniele Baldelli, The Units, François Kevorkian, Derrick May/Rhythim Is Rhythim, Juan Atkins/Infiniti, Los Hermanos, Kathy Brown, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Red Axes, Yello, Gary Martin, Gene Hunt, Chez Damier, Virgo Four, Donna McGhee, youANDme, Alexander Robotnick, DJ Skull, Schaltkreis Wassermann, No More, Scenes De La Boheme, Mark Moore/S'Express, N.O.I.A., Gaznevada, The Stupid Set, Mr. Raoul K, Makossa & Megablast, Hard Ton, Mathias Schaffhauser, Klein & M.B.O., Boys Noize and more…​
