Hi-NRG and Synth-Funk—do they pair well? Absolutely. This week’s Disco Mix Monday blends two distinct styles that defined early ’80s dance music in the U.S.: Synth-Funk and Hi-NRG We start with some great examples from the former but use immediately the BPM of the latter. The mix starts with funk-infused beats, transitions through some catchy, danceable pop tracks, and then takes you straight into the unmistakable sounds of early ’80s San Francisco—pure, unapologetic Hi-NRG. Be ready for its playful innuendos and double entendres. As The Weather Girls so memorably put it, “The men are banging at our back(stage) door.”. Sure they are 😉
