Il Discotto Records was a historic & the 2nd biggest italo-disco record label and distribution company.
It started in 1982, and managed by Roberto Fusar-Poli. Settled in Sesto San Giovanni, and moved to Cologno Monzese in 1983 (two small towns near to Milan). It was one of the biggest and top brands at the times, rivaling with Disco Magic.
It released many well-known artists like Gary Low, Doctor's Cat, Brand Image, Martinelli, Paul Sharada, Betty Miranda, Reeds, Mike Rogers, Raggio Di Luna, Hot Cold, Eugene, Max Coveri, but also a good bunch of obscure italo. In its early releases, Il Discotto label had a strong electro-ish flavour, very appreciated now.
Il Discotto closed down circa first half of 1987 due to financial issues. The only labels that survived & became independent were Blow Up Disco (until 1998) & Keepon Musik (until 1991).
There are a few records from this label that only had a few (1-4) releases or only short-lived (for only 1 year).
