Conceived in the '70s, the futuristic electronic sound if italo disco has enjoyed something of a renaissance recently, with its influence being heard on work by artists such as Sally Shapiro, Glass Candy and even Little Boots.

The samples are split into four folders, each of which contains a construction kit in a specified tempo. Each kit features bass, beats, percussion and synth loops.

All the samples are supplied as WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.

The italo disco samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
