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: )

 

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”.

Thank you for the heads up! Still working at home so I'll put it on in the background *.*

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

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 : )

I'm not even dignifying this with a response. :angry:

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!

Alot of the best disco from acts such as Earth Wind & Fire, Chic, KC & the Sunshine Band etc was sampled / covered alot in the 90s. Some of my faves you may not know are-

T Connection Do what you wanna do

Brass Construction Movin
