So I'm gonna be doing a gig at this South Beach mansion next week and the organizer wants house but also some 80s thrown in. The house I've got no problem, but I'm very thin on 80s. I was born in '84 so a lot of the stuff was before my time. Of course I've got some Micheal Jackson and some of the really big hits (ie: Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, etc.), but can you guys suggest some other good 80s stuff with a good groove to it? Maybe some stuff with synths like artists like Pryda and Kris Menace try to emulate today with their tracks.

Any help would be great!

The thing about it is that hes trying 2 bring a new style tho just like he did with Just be and it worked. they songs areunt TOO HIGHT up. but the vocals acaully are the best thing in 2007. The Track Carpe Noctum is like traffic but it hink he could of prefected the shit ouf it. but generalllyy its an amazing album...oh and Ten Seconds Before Sunrise is like Forever today TIMES 12

If it's an 80's club track you're looking for, then New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle is your answer. Most anything else by New Order will work too. Blue Monday, True Faith, etc.

Also, Cabin Crew - Waiting For A Star To Fall is a new house version of an old 80's song.

Prince - Kiss (Daft Punk Remix) too.

Just some thoughts off the top of the head.

Yes, if he wants to do a house set at 170 bpm.

Other A-Ha tunes like The Living Daylights or The Sun Always Shines On TV would be more appropriate.

blondie - heart of glass


yeah it's from '78 but this is a guaranteed floorfiller. also search for some best of 70s and 80s collections on discogs
