80s Dance: The Essential 80's Dance Mix Vol. 5 (2019)

This is an 80s dance mix—The Essential 80's Dance Mix Volume 5—focused on Hi-Energy (NRG) cuts and classic club reworks from 2019. The set serves as a deep dive into the NRG lineage that helped shape 90s hard dance, while also sprinkling in crossover floor favorites to keep the momentum varied. Highlights include the Communards’ Select Mix of “Never Can Say Goodbye,” Lisa’s Almighty 12" Definitive “Rocket To Your Heart,” and Evelyn Thomas’ Almighty 12" “High Energy,” alongside staple party anthems like Dead or Alive’s Razormaid take on “You Spin Me ’round” and Sylvester’s “Do Ya Wanna Funk.” The compilation even throws in a cheeky Ultimix of Rick James’ “Super Freak,” showing how 80s funk and pop fit into the era’s club culture. Run time is about two and a half hours across definitive remixes and extended edits, making this volume a solid listener-ready survey of 80s NRG and dance-floor classics.
