Discotheques became places where different emotions scattered onto the dance floor like a large puzzle of the human soul, taking on different musical shapes and atmospheres. A sought-after mood was a gradient of melancholia, which varied in intensity but relying on a very specific BPM range, approximately 100 to 108, while still carrying the beat, and most importantly the synth sounds (TR-808, TR-909, Jupiter-8, Juno-60, Prophet-5) typical of the Italo disco scene.
