| I wanted to put together a playlist that had a | | | | it recently had made it onto an International |
| great collection of the hi-energy dance tunes from | | | | Deejay Gigolos compilation of electr dance hits. I |
| the 80's so I came up with this mix.I figured I'd | | | | figured it was on that comp I'd use it here so it |
| start with one of my favorite tunes from the late | | | | fits perfectly in this mix.I had to have a track |
| 80's the freestyle/hi-energy dance tune | | | | from New Order in this playlist and I chose |
| Fascinated by Company B. I remember hearing | | | | Confusion one of their first dance hits compared |
| this tune for the first time and just going | | | | to what they were before, Joy Divisiion, the dark |
| absolutely nuts over it. It's an awesome tune to | | | | and gothic/atmospheric sounding band. This tune |
| dance to and I still listen to it today. It definitely | | | | has the break dancing vibe and sound to it and I |
| has the energy and sound of the 80's, the late | | | | still remember the video included scenes with |
| Eighties to be exact.Do you all know that Divine | | | | break dancers on the streets and in nightclubs.I |
| the cult drag actor from such films as Hairspray | | | | wanted to include Deep In Vogue in this mix by |
| and Pink Flamingos recorded music in the early | | | | Malcolm McLaren but I thought Buffalo Gals |
| 80's? Well he did and his singing is pretty bad but | | | | (Original Mix) by Malcolm McLaren & The World |
| good in a weird sort of way. The music was | | | | Famous Supreme Team was a better choice. I |
| produced by Bobby O or Bobby Orlando (his real | | | | just love this tune and it totally reminds me of |
| name) who also produced the Pet Shop Boys. | | | | the early 80's around 82/83. It's got that sound |
| Divine's track Alphabet Rap is a fun tune where | | | | perfectly.Another classic from 80's is Boom Boom |
| he blurts out "Give Me a A" or "Give Me A B"!Give | | | | Boom by Paul Lekakis. Thisa was a pretty big |
| you all my love is one of my favorite Stacey Q | | | | dance hit in the late 80's and I haven't heard of |
| tracks. Unfortunately it was not such a big hit but | | | | anything else by Paul Lekakis so I figured I'd |
| it's still a great track.I had to include Samantha | | | | include Boom Boom Boom in this mix.The final 2 |
| Fox on this playlist with her pretty big hit Touch | | | | songs were pretty big hits in the 80's and I just |
| Me (I Want To Feel Your Body). I remember | | | | love them. They have the total 80's poppy dance |
| hearing about her appearances in Playboy or | | | | sound that I can't get enough of. We Don't Have |
| Penthouse magazines in the nude. This is one of | | | | To Take Our Clothes Off by Jermaine Stewart |
| the reason why she became so popular in the late | | | | and Catch Me (I'm Falling) by Pretty Poison are |
| 80's.Next up is Bobby O himself with Mixed Up | | | | the best way to wrap this playlist. Enjoy!80's |
| World. This tune reminds me of a real early 80's | | | | EnergyFacinated by Company B |
| Pet Shop Boys track. Figures, because he | | | | Alphabet Rap by Divine |
| produced them! Anyway it's one of my favorite | | | | Give You All My Love by Stacey Q |
| solo tracks of his.Jody Watley's Looking For A | | | | Touch Me (I Want Your Body) [Blue Mix] by |
| New Love was a really big hit in the mid 80's and | | | | Samantha Fox |
| it's still fun to listen to so I included it as part of | | | | Mixed Up World by Bobby O |
| this mix.Next up is Shannon with one of the | | | | Looking For A New Love (Extended Version) by |
| biggest dance tunes of the 80's and of all time, | | | | Jodie Watley |
| Let The Music Play. I think it was so big it even | | | | Let The Music Play by Shannon |
| was a hit on the pop charts as well. Her other hit | | | | I Can't Wait by Nu Shooz |
| Give Me Tonight is also a great tune and I heard | | | | Holding Out For A Hero (Club Mix) by Bonnie |
| it in the film Party Monster just the other day. Let | | | | Tyler |
| The Music Play fits perfectly in this mix.The next | | | | The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight by Dominatrix |
| track is called I Can't Wait by Nu Shooz. It was a | | | | Confusion by New Order |
| pretty big hit in 1986. I believe that's when it | | | | Buffalo Gals (Original Mix) by Malcolm McLaren & |
| came out and I have a love/hate relationship with | | | | The World Famous Supreme Team |
| this song so I like it but I tend to not admit to | | | | Boom Boom Boom by Paul Lekakis |
| liking it but I figured I'd put it in this mix.Holding | | | | We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off by |
| Out For A Hero was Bonnie Tyler's second hit | | | | Jermaine Stewart |
| after Total Eclipse Of The Heart a song that I am | | | | Catch Me (I'm Falling) by Pretty PoisonSeb |
| so sick of I can't not even think about it and not | | | | Jarakian is the owner of Musync a music research |
| get sick! I wanted to include her in here so Holding | | | | and licensing company based in San Francisco |
| Out For A Hero was the best choice.Next up is | | | | California. Seb's client list includes: Google, Microsoft |
| The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight an awesome song | | | | XBOX, Esurance, Clorox, VISA and Adidas. Seb |
| that still sounds fresh today. I remember I first | | | | also owns and updates Best Playlists and |
| heard this song on Live 105 back in the mid 80's | | | | Beatzblog - Two blogs about electronic music and |
| and I thought it sounded totally like something I | | | | Apple's iTunes/iPod technologies. |
| hadn't heard before. It still sounds fresh today and | | | | |
