During my teenage years in Russia my favorite kind of music I liked to listen to was what is now known as EuroDisco or ItaloDisco. This music was produced in the 80's and is characterized by a steady 4/4 beat with all-electronic instrumentation and easy to follow melodies with well defined chord structure. Some of the artists that perform in that style are Radiorama, Dan Harrow, Scotch, Baby's Gang, Fun Fun, Fancy, Ken Lazslo, Modern Talking, Bad Boys Blue and many others. Me and my buddies used to trade compact cassettes with this music because it was impossible to get it in music stores. It was not easy to get new music this way. When I was about to leave Russia to USA, I was looking forward to finally be able to listen to this music on the radio and buy it in stores. On my way to USA via Austria and Italy my dreams came true. The radio in those two countries played a lot of the music that I could only get on cassettes from my friends in Russia. However when I came to the USA I was very disappointed by American radio because they did not play any of that music. I came to realize that a lot of this music was produced in Europe and it never made it accross the Atlantic to the US.
Now thanks to the Internet, all of us EuroDisco living in the US can enjoy this music coming to us 24 hours a day thanks to this greate internet radio station - HurricaneFM.com.
