The influence that 80s gay nightlife had on electronic music, pop music in general and the evolution of clubbing for subsequent generations is pretty much incalculable. In spite of the shadow of AIDs and reactionary political and media forces both at home and in the USA, the period 1980 ndash 1990 bore witness to a dazzling explosion of dance music that artfully drew a line from the peak of late70s disco to the emergence of house and its 90s glory days. The art of the 12 single, the thrill of the remix, the rise of the superclub, the electronic spark of chart pop, the challenging of gender barriers… all had their origin in the gay clubs. Its not unreasonable to make the claim that by the end of the 80s, virtually ALL chart pop music sounded like it had its origins on the dancefloors of Heaven nightclubOver 5CDs and 24 tracks Box Of Sin strives to tell the story of that decade across 54 tracks, and to tease apart the strands of 80s gay clubbing to show a period of unrivalled creativity and disco diversity. Via the boxs themed discs it shows how highenergy became house, how genderbending synth bands took over the pop charts, how pop stars the whole world over found a route to fame via the gay clubs, and how the eras biggest producers aimed their masterworks purely at the dancefloor. High energy, deep house, Eurobeat, synthpop, divas, acid house… all combine to paint a picture of a rich and vibrant lifestyle. Along the way, Box Of Sin unearths some overlooked gems rarely compiled today meanwhile some of the decades biggest names in club music gather to get into the picture ndash from Whitney Houston to Dead Or Alive, Bananarama to Bronski Beat, Aretha Franklin to Inner City.Based on the actual club charts at the time and with a stunning design package inspired by the small ads section of 80s gay press, Box Of Sin comes fully annotated and with an introduction by renowned gay author Paul Burston. Throughout, its illustrated with photography documenting 80s gay clubbers in action, provided for Demon by The Bishopsgate Institute, the UKs LGBTQ archive. The project also resurrects the muchloved brand Disco Discharge, a recognisable hallmark of quality among collectors and aficionados of club music heritage.5CD Boxset TracklistingCD1 HIGH ENERGYDeluxe Drama From The Decades Divas1.
