Need Advice: How do you mix 80’s music???

I’m going to DJ for this 80’s themed event and I’ve never mixed 80’s music before other than “sweet dreams” and the “safety dance”

So how do you guys do it? Can you give me some pointers and some 80’s songs that can keep the crowd dancing?

thanks in advance

Heres a few for ya :slight_smile:

Kylie - anything
Tiffany - think we’re alone now
Dangerzone - Kenny Loggins (Top Gun whooooooo)
New order - Blue Monday
Blondie - Atomic
YMCA
S-Express
Presidents Of The USA - Video Killed the Radio Star
The Weather Girls - Raining Men
Cyndie Lauper - Girls just wanna have fun

Get any MTV listings from the eighties and you should be safe. Hall&Oates et rest.

In a blender, or a concrete mixer … I consider it a duty to attempt to wipe the evidence of such a god awful musical decade from the face of the earth (I mean even Stevie Wonders work of that era is shite, and thats STEVIE!)

check out my sets on

& podcast on iTunes under DJ JesC i have some playlist on my serato profile so you can get an idea of what i play.

Basically anything from the Stock Aitken Waterman collection would go down well.
