WTF is Italo-Trance?!

Look, up in the sky! Is it italo? Dark disco? EBM? Synthwave? Electro? Trance? Nope, it's #ItaloTrance! 

As far as I know, #ItaloTrance is not an actual genre name, although I've recently seen some artists/labels using #ItaloTrance tag to promote their releases. But, in a world where the boundaries between various electronic music genres are becoming less clear every year, where there's a "new" electronic music genre every couple of years or less (apparently, the progressive trance sound that I used to love and play in the clubs back in the day, is now being labeled as "melodic techno"?), I think that #ItaloTrance is something that we deserve and need. 

This is the sound I've been really into for the last couple of years, probably because it represents a strange combination of my two greatest loves: trance & '80s synthesizer music. Even if not an actual genre name (yet!), #ItaloTrance is definitely a feeling!

Italo-Trance 2: The Electric Boogaloo! 
Just kiddin'. In celebration of 9K Youtube subscribers and, since you liked the first one so much, here's my second #ItaloTrance mix. I still enjoy this "genre" so much and lately I've been listening and playing it on parties much more than synthwave, so I plan to continue doing these, for now :)
