Last summer I produced a mix consisting of the best dance-orientated material from 40 years previous – 1983. This year it seems only fitting to continue the trend with a trip back to 1984 – a year with a dubious reputation, but some incredible music output.
Over three hours and 40 tracks this encompasses all the big sounds of ’84, from electro hip-hop, to soul weekender steppers, to hi-NRG disco bangers. A bygone era, for sure.
Reminisce, and enjoy.
