Nonstop 80s Mix #3-4

Some of you have noticed that my 80s mixes on this blog started with #5. Well, here is 80s Mix #3-4, which I did back around 2002 or so. It runs over an hour long. One of my better efforts compared to the other awkward mixes I made back in the day.

A couple notes. First, this mix uses three synthpop tracks (from New Order, Information Society and Sandra), although these tracks are still technically 80s tracks since they were released in the 80s. Second, this mix used "Groove Is In The Heart", which was actually released in 1990...whoops.

Anyway, it starts at 100 bpm, works its way up to 118 bpm, then cools back down to 107 bpm.

1. Starship - Sara (Extended Version)

Nonstop 80s Mix #20

This is what I call a "fast food" mix...where every track is played very briefly before transitioning to the next track (with a possible exception here or there)...just like fast food orders. I usually do "fast food" mixes for songs I've already used in previous DJ mixes, so it's kinda like a "recap" mix.

In the DJ mix itself, sometimes I'll change the place where I transition in and out to make the songs sound "new" even though they're exactly the same tracks as before. And of course, the order of the songs is changed to get brand-new transitions.

"Fast food" mixes are also where I'll make a rare exception to my personal DJ commandment "Thou shalt not play more than one song from the same artist in the same mix."

This particular "fast food" mix recaps Nonstop 80s Mixes #13, 16 and 17.

Dunno if you'll like it but here it 'tis... it's 30 minutes long.

Nonstop Energy Mix #58

It's a Good Friday indeed! To celebrate the holy-day, I'm posting a new DJ mix today instead of next week as I originally planned.

This is a continuation mix, picking up where Nonstop Energy Mix #57 left off. Like the previous two energy mixes, this DJ mix is grooving to a hard eurodance beat. Also, this 30-minute DJ mix averages almost 142 bpm.

Next week, (Lord willing) we'll slow things down considerably (bpm-wise) with a new 80s mix. Speaking of 80s, you might recognize a few 80s covers in the playlist for this mix.

1. Tess - The Second You Sleep (Silverroom Extended Mix)
2. Rebecca J - I Need You To Be Here (Dance Mix)
