    Default 80s Techno(ish?) Music

    So heres a couple of my fav songs to dance to (lately )

    "F*ck with your head" - DJ Rap
    "F*ck on Cocaine" - dunno who its by or if thats even the name of the song
    "P*ssylicker" - Rob Zombie (not sure if thats the name of the song either... (thank goodnes for a good DJ)

    Anywho - I work Sun nites - 80s night and need/want music thats in the same genre but from the 80s that I can dance to... Im tired of Beastie Boys and Berlin and "Me so horny" which is what Ive been dancing to lately...

    Im thinking techo(ish) and it can have a rock (maybe metal) sound to it but just really dancable (if thats a word)...

    Thanks ahead of time...

    I would have to say Information Society? Maybe not REAL techno but....


    hrm....


    There are a lot of 80s songs that have been remixed. I use a few remixed INXS songs, a remix of Send Me An Angel, and a few others....

    Cleopatra Records is a label that has taken a whole heap of bands from the '80's and remixed them: Missing Persons, Gary Numan, Bow Wow wow, Flock of seagulls . . . google 'em and see the site. In most cases they have worked with the artists in remixing so it sounds fresh and with original vocals.

    How about The Cure's "All Mixed Up" CD? You'll need a cooperative DJ who can queue the songs appropriately (some intros are minutes long) but I found many songs on it to be very danceable!

    How about some KMFDM?

    I suggest "Juke Joint Jezebel"

    cant be remixed 80s songs... has to be 'the' 80s song... which is a bunch of BS if you ask me... I recognized some of those songs... none are really what I was thinking. Guess they didnt have techno in the 80s

    Yeah, that is too bad, a little remixing can really pick up a song, and so often it is so much the same that it shouldn't matter. The sometimes maligned Cleopatra label has come out with some real winners in this category--I have been using remixes of Sweet and Queen a lot at work recently from their remix CDs of those bands.

    So who is the unimaginative asshole that's being such a stickler? The DJ, the manager, or both? Certainly not professions known for intelligence or open-mindedness--not in my area, anyway.

    I'm thinking on this one, and betting I can come up with something, give me a bit more time and maybe I can help before Sunday when you need them.

    "Techno" was called "electronica" back then.A DJ friend of mine said true techno didn't come out until the late 80's,early 90's.But as far as early to mid 80's,it was electronica.Depeche Mode and other similar artists fell into that and new wave genre.
