It was quite common in the Sydney rave scene around this time for Italodance/Eurodance tracks to be played on the wrong speed alongside happy hardcore records.
Here's the audio slowed to what I believe is the original tempo : https://instaud.io/2oBh
The structure of the track leads me to believe strongly that it's an Italodance/Eurodance track, not happy hardcore (although theres a lot of tracks that blur the line from this time)

That doesn't help much I'm afraid. 1995 is a little too early in history for this forum, italodance didn't really exist until the late 90's 
It's definitely not an italodance track, but the genre might fall into the eurodance category although I'm leaning more towards trance when the tempo is slower.

Interesting. From the perspective of Australian party-goers from the 90s particularly in Sydney, 'Italo', 'Italodance' or just 'morning anthems' can refer to late 80s Italian piano house stuff or the more Euro House/Eurodance-like records from Italian artists such as Molella, Jinny, Datura, Ramirez etc that were popular at parties from 1990-96. Post 1997, Australian DJs stopped playing new records in these genres for the most part.

It's a matter of opinion I suppose. Many people say that italo-disco is a predecessor to italodance, although I disagree. If you compare L'Amour Toujours with Den Harrow (or similar) the music really doesn't have much in common sound-wise. I can't even name someone who started with disco and moved to italodance.
You mention Molella, who is a good example of the shift in the Italian dance music style because he has been producing music for such a long time. Compare Molella's tracks "Originale-Radicale-Musicale" from 1995 or "Revolution!" from 1991 with, for instance, "Love Lasts Forever" from 2001 - you can clearly hear the shift in style from classic eurodance/eurohouse to italodance.
I acknowladge that other people understand genres differently, it's interesting that you called some music in the early 90s italodance as well. Music genres are a bit fluffy, and they only define a musical style to the extent that enough people agree that a particular style of music has a particular genre term. Nu-italo, Nu-italodisco, italodance or just italo are different terms for the same thing, and probably the best example of the genre I can give would be to listen a bit to our radio station Italo Sound Radio: italosound.com
A bit out of our field I think, sound more like happy hardcore, than eurodance / italodance
I don't know the title, sorry.
