Ordered a few more old ones that I felt were essential in one way or another... (thank you Snake for some of your suggestions wub.gif )

Chic - Good Times
Blondie - Heart of Glass
Tubeway Army - Are Friends Electric
Talk Talk - It's My Life
Tears For Fears - Pale Shelter
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
Kraftwerk - Computer Love / The Model
Visage - Fade To Grey
Erasure - A Little Respect
Desireless - Voyage Voyage
Yazoo - Don't Go / Situation
Bronski Beat - Small-town Boy
Propaganda - The Nine Lives of Dr Mabuse
Prince - 1999 / Little Red Corvette
Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (not sure whether this quite counts really but I like it!)


For early 80s songs it's maybe stretching the definition of dance a bit but I just remembered Joe Jackson Steppin' Out, one of the ultimate early 80s high tempo synthpop tunes.

6Music are having a 90s day tomorrow from 5am: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/schedules/bbc_6music/2021-04-15 - nothing but 1990s all day. Yeah they may play some indie stuff but they do play a lot of alternative dance sometimes, and I would hope they at the very least play Livin’ Joy’s “Dreamer”.

Dreamer's maybe a bit cheesy for Radio 6Music I would have thought. laugh.gif

No worries- I'm in the office again tomorrow but as it's just me I can have the volume on the sound system as loud as I want! Although the downside to that is having to run over to turn it down everytime the phone rings or completely missing someone walking in to the office.
If you're up early Shirley Manson is doing a mix at 7am and it looks like there'll be a Rage D&B playlist at 10am: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000vbjr : )

So I’m ready to expand into disco now but I’m not at all knowledgeable about the genre, albeit I do enjoy quite a lot of the music when I hear it

Hit me with lists please people!
