hat is it about the ’80s – the decade that taste forgot – that makes it so feckin’ fun to jump back into?
The movies, the music and the hair were all bigger, and everyone in Cabana’s and Club Life dressed as though they were low-rent drug dealers on Miami Vice.
Whether it was the sharp suits and jerky moves of ska, the jeans and white t-shirt of The Boss’ blue collar, al-American rock, the leather jackets and leather skin of Wham!, the sweatpants and glow sticks of rave, the bouffant hair and frilly shirts of the New Romantics, or the bouffant hair and frilly shirts of Bon Jovi and the rest of the Metal Lite crew, this was the decade of secondhand fashion and secondhand music. All the cultural highs and innovations that had gone before, repackaged for a karaoke generation.
And it was feckin’ magic, as this 80min mix below proves. Back in GG’s earlier years as a DJ, when it came to themed party nights, no other decade provided quite so much joy and jumping as the ’80s. Which is why we made this mix.
