'80s Uptempo Pop Mix 4

Now we are at the fourth in my '80s Hi-NRG Megamix series. This mix comprises a baker's dozen of tracks spanning 1980-88, blended expertly and precisely in a perfectly harmonious sequence that will put a smile on your face and get you Rush-Rushin' over to the floor!

This mix contains four alternate mixes of tracks which have been featured in two previous Hi-NRG mixes. I included them here to showcase the different and unique choices of mixing done by the original and secondary producers. 

In one instance, I loved both remixes of The Flirts' "Danger", but had already settled on the one included on '80s Hi-NRG Megamix 1. I had considered swapping it out with this alternate mix many times but, in the end, decided simply to showcase this mix here. In the case of Paul Lekakis' "Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)", the version I used on '80s Hi-NRG Pride Mix was more appropriate simply due to the key change at the very end, which matched the key of Kylie Minogue's "The Loco-Motion", into which it segued. The version here is the original U.S. remix, which I actually like better because of its keyboard riffs, which are missing on the other. 

New Order's "Blue Monday '88" is a different beast entirely, which deserves recognition, as is The Communards' San Paulo remix of "Never Can Say Goodbye," both of which received official 12" single releases. And "Born to be Alive" [Re-mix '88] is, as the title implies, a 1988 remix of the 1979 Disco classic.

1. "Small Town Boy"—Bronski Beat (1984)
2. "Dancing on the Ceiling" [12" Version]—Lionel Richie (1986)
3. "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" [Long Version]—Boys Town Gang (1982)
4. "It's a Sin" [Disco Mix]—Pet Shop Boys (1987)
5. "Fame"—Irene Cara (1980)
6. "Born to be Alive" [Re-Mix '88]—Patrick Hernandez (1988)
7. "Blue Monday '88"—New Order (1988)
8. "Danger" [Original Version]—The Flirts (1983)
9. "Rush, Rush" [Extended Version]—Debbie Harry (1983)
10. "Would I Lie to You" [An Eric 'E.T.' Thorngren Mix]—Eurythmics (1985)
11. "Never Can Say Goodbye" [San Paulo Mix]—The Communards (1987)
12. "You Think You're a Man"—Divine (1984)
13. "Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)" [U.S. Remix]—Paul Lekakis (1986)

Disco Dancin'

Finally! After over a month of evaluation and swapping out numerous tracks, I have finished my latest Disco mix, my first mix of the New Year—and it is fit for a Queen. I began it, at last, with Queen of Disco Donna Summer's very first US single: the slow jam "Love to Love You Baby". And it also contains—and by consequence was also named after—AᗺBA's Number One smash "Dancing Queen".

Initially I was going to title the mix "Disco Grind", due to its very slow, mellow tempo, and the fact that it implies sex, due to the presence of the erotic "Love to Love You Baby". But after I included "Dancing Queen" and realized that it opens with the very first US single from the Queen of Disco (and actually features multiple Disco Queens), I realized I had found the perfect, and most dignified, appropriate title, as well as a very majestic Disco ball worthy of royalty for the artwork.

So, without further ado, here is the mix: a magnificent collection of twenty-one tracks consisting of both classics and some glittering obscurities sprinkled throughout for its crowning glory. It is the slowest Disco mix in my collection: an easy, mellow, relaxed groove to get you in the mood for Love. So get ready to Rock Your Baby.

Discothèque

At last, we have come to the fifth and likely final mix in my '80s Hi-NRG Megamix series. I have officially run out of Hi-NRG classics that I enjoy and have repeated three in alternate mix form. I was lucky enough to find a handful of obscure tracks that totally blew me away (which is my criteria for obscurities), several of which complimented each other nicely in the blend.

This 89-minute mix comprises a baker's dozen of absolutely frenetic, energetic, enjoyable tracks from the likes of such dance floor queens as Miquel Brown, Hazell Dean, Kylie Minogue, Sylvester, Kelly Marie, and many others, ready to set you on fire!

'80s Hi-NRG Megamix 5

Happy Pride! It's time for a brand new Pride Mix. This one is my third official (not counting the alternate version of my '80s Hi-NRG Pride Mix), and it is fit for a Queen; eleven out of its thirteen tracks are by female gay icons like Rihanna, Madonna, Cher, Kylie Minogue, Donna Summer, and many more—plus Fergie, fronting The Black Eyed Peas, and non-binary Sam Smith—so I decided to conceptualize the title.

Each track, some of the best gay club anthems from 2002-2019 that I could get my hands on, has its own Pride-related theme. Among others, there's celebration ("I Just Wanna Dance"), escapism ("Girl Gone Wild"), wild sex ("S&M"), affirmation ("Raise Your Glass"), hope ("A Different Kind of Love Song"), empowerment ("Stamp Your Feet"), self-esteem ("High Heels"), new romance ("Love at First Sight"), excitement ("I Gotta Feeling"), and joy ("The Edge of Glory").

All are sequenced to compliment each other for a harmonious, colorful 77-minute mix, to help you really show YOUR true colors as you go wild and move like a freak on the floor! This is dedicated to everyone. So raise your glass and stamp those feet 'cause tonight's gonna be a good, good night!

Millenial Queen Pride Mix

We are back with a new mix: the fourth in my Popstyle series. Popstyle is an amalgamation of Pop and Freestyle, describing straight Freestyle songs, Freestyle songs that were Pop hits, and Pop songs with Freestyle-type drum beats. The term encompasses the best of both worlds.

This new, hot ten-track mix balances five classic hits along with five relative obscurities for a frenetic rock out on the floor that'll make you feel like you Own the Night!

'80s Popstyle Mix 4

Here's a new mellow mix. This originally started out as the seventh of my Downtempo Pop Megamix series. However, when I realized that pretty much all of the songs were R&B, Soul, and Funk, I figured I'd let it stand alone. "Funk 'n Soul" is the best fluid amalgam I could think up that designates partnership.

Like that series, it runs near to 90 minutes and contains fourteen brilliant tracks. The overall tone of this mix is very mellow and relaxed, with the tempo slowly winding down throughout, bringing you to a perfect cool down.

1. "Mystery Lady" [Extended Version]—Billy Ocean (1985)

13. "Monkey" [Extended Version]—George Michael (1988)
14. "Hard Day" [The Shep Pettibone Mix]—George Michael (1987)

'80s Mellow Funk 'n Soul Megamix

Disco Darlings, after three years, we have arrived at my twentieth Disco mix, and it's Bouncin'! It's the result of my cutting Disco Strut (now Disco Fever) in half and making more cohesive mixes out of those two halves.

'90s Mid-Tempo Club Mix 4

New mix! This started out as the seventh in my '80s Mid-Tempo Pop Mix series, but since it is pretty much all R&B, Funk and Soul, I decided to let it stand alone. And what a mix it is! Not only does it have those genres, but it also has a Hip Hop song: Vanilla Ice's iconic "Ice Ice Baby", the first Number One hit for a rap artist. Plus, it contains three songs by two Jackson siblings: Rebbie (the oldest), for whom the song "Centipede" was written and produced by brother Michael; and Janet (the youngest).

Disco Nights

Young man born in 1982 who loves reliving the ‘80s and ‘70s Disco music I was raised on.

Aside from family party D.J.s, was introduced to the concept of mixes via flea market tapes. Dabbled in it myself with equipment my father got me at age 10. With the advent of mp3s, got to do things I couldn’t with vinyl and CDs: precisely match up beats to the millisecond and use longer tracks as space is unlimited. Always wanted to present entire extended 12” dance remix versions as intended, not edited fragments. Means fewer songs per mix but whole work of the artist, producer and remixer can be appreciated.

This may be an uncommon approach, but this is my chosen style; it's different. The songs were extended in the remixes for a reason, and I wish to present not only the entire work, but the entire arc of the song from beginning to climax—something you can't do if you mix out in the middle of the song. Plus, I wish to surprise the dancer with the build-up of suspense and sudden intro of the next track if the preceeding track has an extended outro. Dancing is all about fun and excitement after all.

I decided early on that each mix would follow a common beat style for consistency. I will not mix a four-on-the-floor Disco/dance beat with a standard two/four rock beat, or freestyle beat, and so on. It sounds sloppy and jarring. And tempos must be as consistent as possible as well. Songs will smoothly transition from one to the next as best I can make them—beats will be matched to the millisecond when possible; this also includes the groove, or the "feel" of each song. I won’t blend two songs that don’t sound complimentary or harmonious together if I can help it. Sometimes, though, it's unavoidable, but it seems to work in the end.

For each mix series, I try to adhere to a common thread, which includes length. I made arbitrary choices from the first mixes. Though everything is relative, I like structure, routine, and consistency. For example, the ‘80s Hi-NRG Megamixes will run around 90 minutes, give or take a few; ‘80s Mid-Tempo Pop Mixes will be a minimum of 60 minutes; and Disco mixes will always be a minimum of two hours—and so on.

One problem I have is haste; I always seem to throw together the mixes in such a hasty fashion in order to upload them that I later remember songs that would have fit well in them. Either I forgot them because I didn’t have the files, didn’t take note of them ahead of time, or because of my hyper creative mood, so I constantly update the uploaded mixes. Keep vigil over them because they are always being changed.

I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoy making them. Nothing brings me more joy than knowing people are enjoying them with me. I would give anything for club D.J.s to play them so I can dance to my own mixes in the clubs in which they were intended to be heard!

One last thing: I decided, out of safety concerns, not to allow my files to be downloadable. There are options for you listeners, however, such as using Audacity to record them at your preference. Or there are plenty of online apps searchable from Google that will convert the links into mp3 files for you, including soundcloudmp3.org, sclouddownloader.net, soundcloudtomp3.app. So do what you wish!

Let's dance!
