Description
If you’re a fan of ’80s Euro pop, you’re in for a treat! And if you’re not too familiar with the genre, consider this your personal journey of discovery.
We kick things off with the song of the week—Sandra’s “Everlasting Love.” The first part features the European 12-inch mix by Michael Cretu, seamlessly transitioning after the break into the PWL remix, which sets the stage for a string of Stock, Aitken & Waterman productions and remixes. Expect tracks from Blue Mercedes, Erasure, and of course, the one and only Rick Astley.
In the middle section, I’ve lined up some classic U.S. dance club hits from the same era, including Laura Branigan, Ellie Warren, and Wild Mary.
But the real gems are saved for the finale—a collection of French dance hits featuring Desireless, Jakie Quartz, (Princess) Stephanie, and the queen herself, Mylène Farmer. These are interwoven with some Italo-disco magic, including Koto, Patris, and closing on a high with Den Harrow’s “Future Brain.”
