The influence that 80s gay nightlife had on electronic music, pop music in general and the evolution of clubbing fornbspsubsequent generations is pretty much incalculable.
In spite of the shadow of AIDs and reactionary political and medianbspforces both at home and in the USA, the period 1980 ndash1990 bore witness to a dazzling explosion of dance music thatnbspartfully drew a line from the peak of late70s disco to the emergence of house and its 90s glory days.
The art of thenbsp12rdquo single, the thrill of the remix, the rise of the superclub, the electronic spark of chart pop, the challenging of gendernbspbarriers...
all had their origin in the gay clubs.
Itrsquos not unreasonable to make the claim that by the end of the 80s,nbspvirtually ALL chart pop music sounded like it had its origins on the dancefloors of Heaven nightclubOver 4LPs and 24 tracks, lsquoBox Of Sinrsquo strives to tell the story of that decade, and to tease apart the strands of 80s gaynbspclubbing to show a period of unrivalled creativity and disco diversity.
Via the boxrsquos themed discs it shows how highnbspenergy became house, how genderbending synth bands took over the pop charts, how pop stars the whole worldnbspover found a route to fame via the gay clubs, and how the erarsquos biggest producers aimed their masterworks purely atnbspthe dancefloor.
High energy, deep house, Eurobeat, synthpop, divas, acid house...
all combine to paint a picture of anbsprich and vibrant lifestyle.
Along the way, lsquoBox Of Sinrsquo unearths some overlooked gems rarely compiled todaynbspmeanwhile some of the decadersquos biggest names in club music gather to get into the picture ndashfrom Whitney Houstonnbspto 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 ofnbsp80s gay press, lsquo Box Of Sinrsquo comes fully annotated and with an introduction by renowned gay author Paul Burston.nbspThroughout, itrsquos illustrated with photography documenting 80s gay clubbers in action, provided for Demon by ThenbspBishopsgate Institute, the UKrsquos LGBTQ archive.
The project also resurrects the muchloved brand lsquoDisco Dischargersquo, anbsprecognisable hallmark of quality among collectors and aficionados of club music heritage.4LP Boxset TracklistingnbspLP1 HIGH ENERGYDeluxe Drama From The Decades DivasA1.
