Robot Rock du Jour: Starter - Minijupe (1981)

OK. So, pretend for a minute that lead singer Francis Foss DOESN'T look and sound like Dana Carvey taking the piss out of no wave bands. In that hot minute, you will surely discover how rad this song is because you, after all, love les minijupes (miniskirts) as much as I do. And Korg MS-20s.

Robot Rock du Jour: Mr. Flagio - Take a Chance (1983)

In case you were wondering, Mr. Flagio is a hairy-chested robot from space. This song has everything one could ever ask of an Italo track. It is a perfect mix of robo space disco, electro and synth pop with a killer bass line, rock solid vocoder and a fantastic breakdown. An essential part of any Italo collection.

Robot Rock du Jour: G.A.N.G. - KKK (1983)

I can actually feel my skin getting hot under the southern Italian sun. This song is a warm italo breeze on a cool February day. Slow burning and soulful. This particular clip features the ORIGINAL two track reel-to-reel master, so the sound quality is pristine.
