Gino Soccio



Gino Soccio is one of my favourite disco producers. The Canadian disco auteur released a bunch of shimmering disco diamonds in the late 70s early 80s. I've uploaded 'Try It Out', a cracking little bit of downtempo - stripped back disco and 'Remember', which is just a europop juggernaut full of hooks and low on pretense.

don't forget 2 of the best disco cuts from Gino Soccio "Dancer" 1979 and the follow-up "It's alright" 1982.
"Dancer" was such a hit that even Giorgio Moroder copied it in "Harmony" by Suzi Lane in 1979
