80’s parties, 80’s ideas, 80’s playlists in fact all things 80’s
70's 80's & 90's Themed wedding at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond. It was a first time I have had a musical theme such as this for a wedding, and it worked really well. Having a big (in wedding terms) crowd of 150 helped as well. Starting with the 70's and ending with 90's meant it covered the tunes form the youth of the majority of the guests and because they new that this was how I was going to play
80s Music - Musically we had an enormous variety From the start of the eighties we had the New Romantics and at the end we finished up with Old Skool House the 80’s had a lot to offer in terms of music and it is still very relevant on todays dancefloor.

I like to keep abreast of what is happening musically and recently went to the Ministry of Sound to catch up on the latest tunes being played by the likes of Joey Negro, John Morales and Todd Terry at the Defected night that has been getting rave revues in Ibiza namely Glitterbox. There are some great mixes of classic 80's tunes that really help to lift a party. Below is a playlist of some of the Glitterbox tracks I may
I was invited back to Bisoux Lounge last week to kick of the Xmas party season with an 80's disco night, think Glitterbox. I was quite pleased to be asked when you look at the other DJ's on the December rota, with most of them being Ibiza residents. We had a great party night with the venue full of a mix of all ages who danced the night away till 02.00 in the morning. Come Into My Life PLAY
Corporate Party - The day after getting back from Ibiza I went straight on to play at the ExCel centre in London for the Angular Connect After Party. AngularConnect is a 2-day, multi-track conference featuring the world’s leading Angular experts, including the core Angular team at Google. There were over 2000 guests, not as big as the Copper Box event I played at a couple of months before, but still large. The theme for the party was 80's chart music
I played at a great venue recently, Mable's in Covent Garden. Upstairs they have a great bar and restaurant, but go down a few flights of stairs in to the basement and you are in an amazing party area with great friendly staff. My brief for this event was remixed 80's or eighties tunes with a modern feel to them. So if you need to hire a London DJ give me a call. 80's remixed playlist In Private (12"
It's a Cruel Summer......Here is a recent playlist from one on my 80's nights, it gives an example of the variety of music that I play. There are so many great tunes from the eighties that every party I play at the music is different. There is the just so much from New Romantics at the start of the decade to the start of House music at the end. Title Artist Wild World (Long And Saxy) Maxi Priest What I Like
The clients for this 50th Birthday party really went to town with this brilliant Fancy Dress party. They managed to squeeze a marquee into the back garden of a 3 floor London Victorian Villa in Battersea and take their guests back to the time of Poldark. My brief was to play older tunes with a modern twist which was achieved by the playlist below and the client very happy "Thanks a lot for doing such a fantastic job" It was great
Over the weekend I DJ'd at Rosslyn Park Rugby Club, I was for a joint 50th birthday party and the theme was 80's music with a cuban music from a band and myself during the meal. It turned out to be a great night and the tracks not the normal 80's music you tend to hear as these guys although suited and booted now where kids of the 80's New Romantic scene.... Here
