Indie Release [Level 4]
My mixtape for the year 1982. Dance music was back in a big way in '82, but with a much different face. The New Wave has begun in earnest. Sadly, disco is fading. However, we are beginning to hear that "Definitive" '80's sound.

In describing the feel of 1982, I should have said that "TRADITIONAL disco is fading." As we know, disco merely evolved (not sure for the better, however!). I love the fact that today's "filter disco" has brought back many of those "traditional" disco vibes! These mixes DO get a good deal of reaction (mostly positive!). Most people start reminiscing about songs or memories of the past. I get the occasional dance/disco hater, but I just blow them off, and since the vast majority of people love my "Top Hits of..." mixes, I am able to hold my chin up that the "haters" are in the minority, and as such do not generally voice their opinions very loudly. Oh, and here's the BEST effect: The BIG smiles and comments like "you're always playing such FUN music!" :D

Disco fading? Just because New Wave/New Romantic was in back in '82, not all on New Wave was dance ready, New Wave was the outfit of Punk and latter bacame the forerunner for Alternative/College Rock, doesn't mean that disco was gone, it was only gone from the publics eye. With Hi-NRG (Eurodisco/Gay Disco), Italian Disco (Eurodisco/Eurodance), Electric Funk (Techno Rap) and Freestyle (Latin Hip-Hop) was very much alive in the underground. If you don't believe me listen to "She Has A Way" by Bobby O' (1982), it was a smash in the underground back in '82.
