Hey, I just joined this site, and I have a question to ask. I am a fan of general techno and dance music, and I was wondering...
What makes Italodance different from these other genres of music? Is it even different at all?
Either way, I can learn from your tastes in music. I can see some artists are quite popular on this site, and I should check them out.
Personally, my favorite artist is Tune Up. They only made a few songs, but it's good stuff. Most of techno is remixed crap, so it can be hard to find good artists. But when you find good stuff, you can't stop listening. 
Hey man, welcome on board !
Well, yeah Tune Up is pretty great i love their tracks.
About italodance, well first, it's not the same kind of bass, other techno genres are using all differents basses, if you listen carefully, you'll hear the different.
Then Italo might be a bit slower than Jumpstyle/Hands up, and the build up is slighty different. Most of the time, melodies and lyrics are more worked in italo than classic Hands Up..
but maybe other members will tell you better than me, but i think Italo is really made with the desire of making you 'feel' the music better than just jumping at it when it's played.
