80s Dance: The Essential 80s Dance Mix Vol. 1 (2019)

80s dance classics meet crate-digger remix culture in The Essential 80s Dance Mix Vol. 1 (2019), the first of six volumes collecting club-ready edits and era-defining pop-dance cuts. This compilation traces the decade from disco’s leftover grooves into synth-driven mid‑80s pop and the nascent house sounds coming out of Chicago and New York, assembled from earlier Party Favorz sets like Pure Energy and Back 2 the 80s.

Highlights include synth-pop moments from Duran Duran, the genre-blending edge of Grace Jones, early house-flavored cuts from Anthony & The Camp, and late‑80s pop-dance turns from Neneh Cherry. The mix leans on well-known remix sources — Ultimix, Hot Classics, Select Mix and Edge — to give familiar songs a consistent, DJ-friendly flow.

Running roughly two and a half hours, this volume favors extended and club mixes (Samantha Fox, Whitney Houston among them) to recreate a continuous dancefloor experience that spans the decade’s stylistic shifts while staying firmly in the realm of 80s dance music.
