EP237: More Sin 2 - Queer Disco Compilation

Today’s exceptionally danceable Electronically Yours episode features an in depth discussion with Ian Wade and our friends at Demon Records about their new 5 CD + 4 LP boxsets, featuring the best queer club classics 1980-1989.

Across five individually themed discs, the deluxe CD set presents 53 original extended versions, including many hard-to-find remixes, encompassing full-length High Energy, House, Diva, Pop, Europop and Alternative eighties classics from the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones, Sylvester, Eartha Kitt, Divine, New Order, Hazell Dean, Laura Branigan and many more. Highlights include the hard-to-find 12” version of Village People’s ‘Can’t Stop The Music’ plus the rarely-compiled underground club anthems ‘Pistol In My Pocket’ by Lana Pellay and ‘After The Rainbow’ by Joanne Daniëls.

Not only were the ‘80s queer clubs where you were most likely to hear the latest groundbreaking developments in dance music (for example, house music would quietly flourish and innovate on the scene before busting overground and achieving near ubiquity as the decade progressed), there was also a heck of a lot of diversity on offer.

Ladies and gentlemen - It’s time to give in to sin – More Sin 2...
