Dude

>>71019236
Would it be a problem to have future funk songs or does it have to be actually from the 80s?

Also, how anal do you/the party host needs it to be obscure? I feel like if I went to an 80s party, most of the people aren't going to care too much for accuracy or stuff from underground scenes, unless I'm in a party full of 30-40 something year olds.

>You have two weeks and this is where you begin?

obviously no, ive asked other Dj;s i know for some suggestions (im a techno techouse Dj) but they all give me the same obvious answers, madonna, michael jackson, etc.. the most obvious songs, im looking for some nice italo disco.

>>71019236

not op but nailed it

love that song

Ah, a /bleep/ dj. ZYX Records made quite a bit of compilations (I believe they also coined "italo disco") which should be a good place to start.

There's also the more rock oriented post-punk shit that's popular here like Talking Heads and Devo (Freedom of Choice.is a good one if you're trying NOT to spin 'Whip It')

Some Italo Disco off the top of my head.

Sorry, I really hate spoonfeeding shit like this.

Then there is also Retrowave/Synthwave that will also help. Hotline Miami and Drive soundtracks are staples of that.

Cool. I hope your friend has a happy birthday.

Future funk doesn't really use elements from either genres. It's mostly sampling. Might want to do some homework though since a lot of artists sample from Japanese funk music and/or use elements from vaporwave that might be too weird for most people.

You sound pretty new here.

>kind of like this

Stop trying to push this old jack synth80sOMG A E S T H E T I C bullshit

I know you're like 20, but OP asked for 80s music. When people ask for 80s music, they want to hear music they've heard before, music they may have forgotten, or music that is related to shit they've heard before.

Nobody wants to hear somebody else's rendition of some shit that sounds like it's from the 80s. Just a heads up, Pepe.

>>71019749
to say it in a less pissy way than the other anon, OP is mainly looking for actual 80s music.

Future funk/nu-disco/synthwave isn't really 80s music. It's a weird futuristic lens through which people look at certain heavily stylized parts of the decade, and stylize them even more to the point where they aren't really authentic 80's sounds anymore.

Saint Pepsi and Macross wouldn't fit in with actual 80s music. They wouldn't even get close. They have a completely different tone, pace, and production style from what they're emulating/sampling, 9 times out of 10.

Synthwave pretty much falls into this category, too. On the rare occasions it works, it's stuff like Real Human Bean, not the more heavily produced stuff like Miami Nights.

Not that Miami Nights sucks. I'm not saying any of this music is bad. It's just not necessarily thematically appropriate - these people want to experience the 80s, not experience an idealized version of 80s style through the even more heavily distorted lens of mid-late 2010s style.
