80s Music DJs

Lets go Retro if its an 80s theme party then we know the 80s top pop from the pop flops of the 80s. The chart tunes of yester year and the 1980s in particular were a contrast of classic dance floor filling favourites and stuff that's best to forget. At the time the cheesy pop tunes of the 80s seemed so raw and full of energy but now this music is just a great laugh. A 80s Retro Theme party always helps to break the ice and that fact can make this type of party much more fun.

For a Retro Party the DJ needs to know the music well. Your 80s party will be much less of a success if the DJ is simply playing the contents of a few compilations albums from his dads cd collection and hoping for the best. Any period of chart history will include some top floor filling classics and it will also include some terrible old tosh that needs never to be heard again. A record may have been a huge hit back in the day but if its not remembered or has not stood the test of time will soon clear the dance floor. The trick is to to know which tunes work and will help build the party atmosphere, and which tunes are best to avoid. Check our list of worst 80s tunes that would be best to avoid.

Unfortunately the knowledge of what works and what doesn't can only come with time and making lots of mistakes. Most of our mistakes were made at 80s partys which took place during the 1980s. However its up to you if you want a inexperienced DJ with his dads record collection, practicing on your special occasion.
