Lately I noticed a lot of interest about 80’s music in this forum, especially dance music genres. The 80’s brought us house, freestyle, italo-disco, euro-disco, electro, new wave, and many more. I, therefore, decided to create this thread to discuss 80’s dance music. From the music, to the producers that made it possible, to the engineers, labels, to the clubs, you are welcome to discuss it all here. All I ask is that if anyone posts a song, to do so with an accompanying explanation.

PLEASE BEFORE POSTING GO THROUGH THESE LISTS http://audiosex.pro/threads/the-80s-dance-music-thread.58021/#post-540881 TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SONG HAS NOT BEEN POSTED EARLIER


I will start by posting a song which sounds as fresh today as it did almost 40 years ago. The song is “Situation” by Yazoo (Yaz in USA), remixed by Francois Kevorkian. Yazoo was formed by Vince Clark ( shortly after he left Depeche Mode) with singer Alison Moyet. This song has reached #1 on the Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart twice. First in 1982, and again in 1999. Another interesting fact is that Vince Clark originally offered this song to Depeche Mode but they declined it. It would take Depeche Mode another 5 years to reach the top of the Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart for the first time. In sum, if you were a DJ in the early 80's "Situation" was "the song." A timeless classic.

@Lemmy Thanks for posting! What is the deal with those 3 songs? BTW, the second song cant be viewed in the USA.

 

In the (early-mid-late) 80s we dance a lot to songs like this. There were the so called "Poppers" and the "Wavers".
They hate each other, but when the Music plays they all come together on the dancefloor, so the music
connects them all. It was music from The Cure, The Smiths, U2, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, New Order,
Joy Division, Human League, Tears For Fears,OMD...

 

I believe that there are very few 80's mainstream songs that still manage to sound fresh now (leaving aside the nostalgia effect). Luckily there was a strong parallel underground scene in those days that gave us exceptional masterpieces

thank goodness we have youtube, otherwise many of these masterpieces would have been forgotten forever

@The Pirate : you always know how to hook me with your threads: go ahead, link more bombs

unleash the power

dare more

I know you can do it

 

Perhaps, but overall i have to disagree. The nostalgia feeling is present only to those who actually lived those times. Kids and younger peeps who weren't even born in the 80s, let alone live and listen to music, go clubbing etc in that era, are not nostalgic about those times because they never lived them.
Yet, i can hear a ton of 80s-like songs hitting the charts with first coming to my mind, Weeknd's Blinding Lights. The track is an unashamed A-ha ripoff and quite worse than the one it mimics, Take On Me, which has withstood the test of time and should -by all standards- be considered a modern classic. And yes Take On Me sounds more fresh to my ears than Blinding Lights. I cannot help but think of the latter as an uninspired B grade song that made hit only by the sum of the names that are behind it, but in reality it's "content empty", meaning shallow, even for a pop song, lacking the innocense and originality of the A-ha's classic pop track.
Now i probably am the worse A-ha fan ever, meaning i am not of course, i have nothing from them and i have a collection of thousands of records and to this day i still am buying vinyl. But if we 're talking TakeOnMe, even the fkn videoclip of ~40 years ago seems more fresh to me than Blinding Lights.
Up until November before lockdown closed everything here, about twice a month i was spinning recs in a small club here in my hometown. My "crowd" consists mainly of 20-30 year olds. I started this gig 2 years ago and my main set originally was split in two themes, one of current/recent releases and one of older and old tracks. You know what ? As time went on, i started cutting off more and more of the newer ones. People wanted me to play more and more of the oldies. Now these guys are not my peers and i cannot understand 100% how they think of these 70s, 80s and 90s sounds. What i do understand though, is the young crowd's amazing reaction to classic pop dance like Madonna's Get Into The Groove for instance, which is the very same reaction you would get back in the day and goes to show people are still people and eager to understand and embrace the aspects of what we call groove, tone, rhythm etc, you name it. This particular track has one of the meanest funkiest basslines ever to appear in a pop song. I am not even remotely a Madonna fan, but this track still sounds fresh to me and it seems i'm not alone. Whatever the case, this track is the "shut up and dance" kind. They barely make 'em like this anymore. There are but a handful nowadays.
So, all these peeps dancing to these tracks i play are the age of my son (33) and younger... It doesn't even have to sound fresh to me or you for this matter. It sounds fresh to them, because most of it, they never heard before.
Cheers
PS: I will probably be posting more, love this thread idea @The Pirate. Major dig bro. I intend to bring up forgotten shit, but for now and with no shame whatsoever, "You can dance, For inspiration" lol.

@taskforce "Into the Groove" is a killer track. Indeed, my second favorite song by Madonna. My favorite from her is "Everybody"
@Recoil I will unleash the power How about this one? Den Harrow's "Broken Radio"...

Den Harrow never was a mainstream act here in the USA but his music ruled the clubs in Miami and San Francisco for a good couple of years. A great example of the italo-disco invasion. Another Italian artist who became the king of italo-disco was Albert One. Both of them, Den Harrow and Albert One, were receiving heavy rotation at Miami radio stations like Power 96 and Hot 105.

 

I had it on the tape

 

Great thread!

A one of my favourites, that I think has aged really well (or at least I still love it) is Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full (Coldcut Seven Minutes Of Madness remix)

 

So sad we don't have this good music anymore.

 

FINALLY 80s Thread
,i did lived all these 80s songs when they popped up in the charts in UK/germany/and usa (im 50 years old so bite me lol )
sometimes an artists/group/or PRODUCERS create a movement or a style that other groups will follow and in result they create a brand new style
just like my friend @The Pirate explained,producers werent not famous in the 70s
from the late 70s when companies started producing great synthesizers producers and artists were using every sound to create their own signature (jann michelle jarr for one)all these 70s disco groups abba/boney m/beegees/produced a certain disco catchy style that
became their own signature (beegees started singing high pitch vocals which became their own style

1984 when german producer dieter bohlen decided to add choirs to his projects and BOOM modern talking group was formed with thomas anders and the disco music changed
to euro disco /hi energy sound of bass and drums and with his sound engineer louis rodriguez they created a legacy
heres mix of their best hits .. you will recognize dx7 /jupiter8/juno/and simmons/linn drums to full extent

after modern talking groups like bad boys blue ,silent circle and others

but heres a connected story
since michael cretu was one of the producers of boney M ,when he went solo he created 2 albums (not major success )
but he created 2 major hit song'' gambit'' and samurai'' that changed the dance sound in 80s to more hyper bass and drums
when became producer for sandra (lead singer of arabsique )and the whole europe got introduced to these awesome synth sounds
michael cretu - samurai (cretu used E-MU presets )

but michael cretu not ony known for hyper disco sound,in 1990 he (and frank peterson )created enigma project and the whole world been craving for similar newage style (that many groups like ERA and gregorians followed the roots to major success
and enigma project also changed its style with time as michael cretu made so far 8 albums under his belt

sandra - maria magdelena (also michael here used E-MU presets and maybe some promars and linn )

when dieter saw sandra success he wanted a female singer to compete with sandra (and after few try out singles from groups and females)
he selected caroline muller under group C.C.Catch with him as producer and louis rodriguez as his sound engineer and he brough in also the back vocalists of modern talking (rolf kohler/michael schulls/detlef widke )to create c.c.catch disco sound

here is the c.c.catch first album ,,you can hear few familiar synth sounds like the ones from modern talking and sandra plus the PPG system

 

Eh? What's stopping you from listening to it now? It's not like it's gone away or anything.

 

The 80's brought us Breakdance and a strange phenomenum called Body Popping

 

Let's not forget that the 80's gave us the king among dance genres: acid house!

From the US:

From the UK:

But also from completely different places:

 

awesome stuff guys

of course i remember from the UK london boys /kim wilde /five star/gensis

oh my ,these london boys extended version has allllot of synth sounds that some singles
reaches 12 mins ,and some other single 9 mins ,why 9 mins ? ..WHY NOT
if these singles can be extend to 9 mins and more its because they gave the fans more music
to enjoy ,thankfully all songs were produced by ralf rene mau
(and clearly you can hear rolf kohler from modern talking/blue system group lending his vocals in the london boys choirs )
london night single ..just skip to 11:49 and listen to the 12 ' single version at of 9 mins of GOODIES ..hear how everything is played here

thats how good the 80s sound were sounded

I remember the warehouse raves/parties with a vague fondness

 

Den Harrow, haha, one day he had a gig in our Discothec (Germany), the audience don´t like him, they throw things like cigarettes etc at him til he leave the stage. The Audience wanted to hear their (wave) music.
