With the Music industry experiencing one of the biggest transformations in over a decade, the dance floor spaces we were accustomed to around a bar or disco pub were about to be assaulted as the sound of the underground previously shunned by the yuppie wine bar scene were about to create their own stage bigger, louder and more progressive than any sound experienced post Disco.

Garage house had hit our shores as early as 1985, but it was about to evolve once more! Infected with the signature British sound with bpm’s cranked up to meet the elevated heartbeats of both excitement...and a prescription on enhancements that some needed to fuel the desire to hyper dance to the acid house sounds best experienced at undisclosed locations to heighten the excitement to attend a Rave.

Hip Hop, Dance Soul and house now known as Classic all took centre stage...

Exciting time for those who like myself were at the right age, at the right time to live and breathe this exciting period of change! The irony is this same change happened a decade before with Disco... Coincidence !! or Planed??

Welcome back to the Star-date 1988 this weeks Dance Decade 80s
