XICON80

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. We met in a small bar in Cattolica, talking for hours about the perfect 1985 synth-bass. The moment we first synced an old analog drum machine in the studio, we knew we had to bring that authentic Adriatic club vibe back to life. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Cury, DJ Neumann, Don't Cry Tonight (Remix) [feat. Savage] - Single Den Harrow, Den Harrow: 1982 - 2009 - The Legend Radiorama, The Best of Radiorama These records are the blueprint for XIGON 80; they perfectly capture the emotional melodies and driving analog beats that define the true Italo-dance era Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Move (Clubmix)” This track is our tribute to the nights in Cattolica. It features the raw vocal chemistry between Lisa and Mike, layered over Mario’s vintage hardware. It’s not a copy—it’s the real pulse of the 80s, reimagined for today’s dancefloors. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The first time we heard our production on a club system and realized the analog snares hit exactly like the classics from our youth. It proved that our obsession with vintage hardware pays off and that the Italo-spirit is still alive. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? We want to perform an all-analog live set at a coastal festival in Italy. Our goal is to bridge the gap between the original fans and a new generation, proving that the high-energy sound of XIGON 80 knows no expiration date.
