Exactly 35 years ago today, the US dance chart had a new #1.

And it came from a country that gave us a lot of great dance music:

Italy.

Black Box – “Strike It Up”

An absolute club weapon.

Piano, energy, attitude… everything you want from early 90s dance.

Which brings up the question:

Is this Italo, Italo Disco, or Italo Dance?

I broke that down in last week’s episode on Tantra.

Worth revisiting if you want to get the distinctions right.
