Apologies if this already exists but under some other name but I can't seem to locate anything close.

Sample bands: Alphaville, Bronski Beat, Cathy Dennis, Furniture, Jan Hammer, Level 42, Madonna, Midge Ure, New Order, Nomad, Pet Shop Boys, Soft Cell, Ultravox and more...

I think a lot more people listen to this than would care to admit it. Sat behind locked and soundproof doors with the headphones on full blast.

I listen to everything. I've got 2gig of the above on my PC which is dwarfed by the rest of my collection. Might be into trance and hardcore but its nice for a change now and then.

mmm ok...

I love Level 42. Everytym theres anything of that type i usually tick rare groove and funk tho, but ur right, it doesnt really describe the genre well. Would 80's breakdance\bodypopping elecro-funk fit 80's electronic also???

Big crossover with some of this stuff and Balearic, which should really have it's own category...

You should check out Electric Dreams club - www.electricdreamsclub.com, see you there! Ant

Yeah, both of the nights I'm running at the mo- GoGoDisco and Le Disco Exquise- play a silly amount of 80s. I would greatly appreciate this being listed!
