CURATED BY FRANKIE BONES

A snapshot of 80's club music before genres fully split apart. This pack includes names like Aleem, Alisha, and Carol Lynn Townes, sitting right at the intersection of late disco, early electro, and emerging house energy.

You’ll hear drum machines meeting live instrumentation, vocal-driven club cuts alongside synth-heavy dance records. It’s that early-80s moment where club music was still wide open and evolving in real time.
