The Twelve Inch 143 : Just Another Night : Dance-Rock/Dance-Pop - 1985

Exploring mid-80s Dance Rock has been a blast, and you might be surprised to discover that many tracks in this mix originally had twelve-inch versions.

The set kicks off with a blend of the club and dub versions of “Just Another Night,” followed by one of John Luongo’s outstanding twelve-inch mixes of Aerosmith’s “Dude Looks Like a Lady.” Other unexpected gems include the dance mixes of Genesis’ “Invisible Touch,” Sinéad O’Connor’s “Mandinka,” and Chris Rea’s “I Don’t Know What It Is But I Love It” (we love it too, Chris!).

We wrap things up with perhaps the ultimate example of Dance Rock: Pseudo Echo’s electrifying mid-80s take on the disco classic “Funkytown.”
