Il Discotto Records

It was one of the most successful Italian labels of the 1980s, rivaling with Discomagic. Discotto released material by many well-known artists like Gary Low, Scotch, Doctor's Cat, Brand Image, Gazebo, Martinelli, Paul Sharada, Betty Miranda, Reeds, Mike Rogers, Raggio Di Luna, Hot Cold, Eugene, Max Coveri, Gay Cat Park, as well as obscure Italo disco acts. In its early releases, the Il Discotto label had a strong electro sound. Il Discotto closed down in the first half of 1987 due to financial issues. The only label that survived and became independent was Cruisin' Records (until 1990).
