Hey, disco lovers! Ready to strap on some imaginary roller skates and glide into a futuristic, sax-heavy party? Giglio Boys just dropped “Showbiz” on March 31, 2025, and this disco and nu-disco banger is a silly, high-energy rollerdisco jam that’s been “locked in a vault for 40 years.” With a sound that blends the funky charm of Deee-Lite’s “Groove Is In The Heart,” the Euro-disco flair of Cerrone, and the modern pop-disco vibes of Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia, this track is pure fun. If you don’t speak Italian, don’t worry—the chorus is made for you! Let’s dive into why “Showbiz” is about to light up your dancefloor!
The Sound and the Sass
“Showbiz” is Giglio Boys delivering a track that’s equal parts nostalgic and forward-thinking, capturing the essence of a perfect Italian rollerskating jam. The song bursts open with a funky bassline and a rhythm that screams disco, clocking in around 120 BPM—right in the sweet spot for that classic disco groove, a tempo that defined the genre in the late ‘70s as it exploded in clubs worldwide. The star of the show? SO MUCH SAX! A blaring, brassy saxophone riff takes center stage, evoking the playful, over-the-top energy of ‘90s hits like “Groove Is In The Heart,” while also nodding to the lush, instrumental-heavy Euro-disco of Cerrone’s classics like Love in C Minor (1977). The nu-disco influence brings a modern polish—think shimmering synths and a crisp, dancefloor-ready beat that aligns with the polished pop-disco sound of Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia (2020).
The Italian flair is undeniable, with a chorus that’s designed to be universally catchy—language barrier or not. The lyrics, likely peppered with playful Italian phrases, give it that authentic Euro-disco vibe, a genre that, as noted in historical context, saw European producers like Giorgio Moroder and Cerrone fuse African rhythms with Western tonality in the ‘70s, creating a “psycho-cybernetic” sound with narcotic melodies and metronomic drum machines. “Showbiz” captures that spirit but updates it with a futuristic, silly edge—perfect for a rollerdisco fantasy where you’re skating under neon lights, lost in the groove. It’s a track that could easily fit into a set alongside Wolfgang Lohr’s “Disco Swing” or Rechelle’s “DRIP,” both of which share that disco revival energy with a modern twist, but Giglio Boys add a uniquely Italian, sax-driven charm that’s all their own.
Disco and nu-disco are having a major moment in 2025, continuing the genre’s resurgence that started in the late 2010s with artists like Dua Lipa and The Weeknd bringing disco back to the mainstream. The rollerdisco vibe taps into a nostalgic trend—think of how skating rinks like RollerJam in Limerick have become hotspots for disco-inspired fun, as seen in their focus on state-of-the-art sound systems and disco lights. “Showbiz” is primed for playlists like Spotify’s Disco Forever or Beatport’s nu-disco charts, where tracks with that ‘70s flair and modern production have been gaining traction, as seen with releases like Arp Frique’s “The Gospel of Jesamy.” The Giglio Boys’ blend of vintage disco, nu-disco polish, and Italian sass makes this a standout for anyone craving a dancefloor escape. Check it out below—the artwork’s got this retro-futuristic, neon-soaked vibe that perfectly captures the song’s energy.
