The Twelve Inch 136 : White Horse : Electro/New-Wave/Italo - 1984

This week’s mix takes you on a captivating journey through early 80s electronica, where synths and drum machines infused every (sub)genre of dance music. From funk (Cori Josias, Electric Funk) to pop (Madonna, Laid Back) and New Wave (Yello, Gary Numan, Nyam Nyam), the electronic sound defined the era.

Of course, Eurodisco also makes a strong appearance, with a generous serving of Italo. I’ve lined up some club classics, including “Passion” by The Flirts, “Mr. Game” by Klapto, and the brilliant “Dirty Talk” by Klein & MBO.
