The 80's changed the face of disco music and created an electronic flair for the beat. Allot of the best were created by some one-hit group names. Even though their stand did not take on too long, they still made a lasting impression on dance floors for their time.
1) Big House (Special Razormaid Remix) - Fou Gorki.mp3
A great band for Joseph Watt of Razormaid - this is the best of that DOR (Dance Oriented Rock) edge dance sound. Great synthesized horns and percussion.
2) Cry Cry Cry - Two Minds Crack.mp3
POWERHOUSE! This is one of the best-overlooked dance cuts of the 80's. I simply played this out until it could not be played anymore. The instrumental is another great piece that joins this wonderful rock edged vocal - put on the dancing shoes and turn it up! Produced by Dave Hewson.
3) Dr Sex - Pleasure And The Beast.mp3
Released during a time where electric dance music was being classified as nu-wave dance - "whatever" - it was after-hours dance music - deeper and a bit sinister.
4) Hassan (Special Razormaid Remix) - Fatima.mp3
Another great Razormaid classic - best of George Kajanus who also produced Razormaid's headlining group Data ("In Blue", "D.J.") - great electronic mid-eastern strings and percolating keyboards - and that great vocal - one of my favorites of the time.
5) Living Inside Me (Special Razormaid Remix) - Data.mp3
George Kajanus strikes again - Data is another one of his bands.
Bonus 70's Dance Group - James Brown's own J.B.s with the Drive 12" from 1979
6) Just Wanna Make You Dance (12 Inch Remix) - The J.B.'s featuring MAXXI.mp3
7) Rock Groove Machine (12 Inch Remix) - The J.B.'s.mp3
