The Twelve Inch 127 : Voyage Voyage : Eurodance/Eurodisco/Italo-disco - 1987

As summer 2024 begins to wind down (at least in the northern hemisphere), it feels like the perfect time to dive into the unique phenomenon of the “holiday hit.” Or how the power of European tourism became a musical conduit in the eighties.

In this week's mix you'll encounter many more examples of the songs that became souvenirs of the summer holidays.
