Decades don't rehash themselves, people rehash them. A little self-control and selectivity would cure the ill, I think.

This 80s wave has happend not only in house music, mainstream people are listening to old original 80s songs. There is 80s nights here where I live in the best club and all the beautifull ladies go to that night.
I was spinning to this crowd weeks ago and they were askin for 80s tracks all the time. Then I pulled this danny howells remix of "ring my bell" and it seemed to work, spun also some duran duran.. but other people started asking comercial hip hop, then I just stoped playing and let them play the music they wanted.

The truth is that the 80s are back, not only in music, but in fashion and haircuts too :P
Remixes of 80s tracks are valid IMO, some of them are great, but others are shitty.
This Technotronic rmx I still can't decide if I like it, Im still deciding if I will play it on my next gig.
When I was a kid I bought the original vinyl, i used to love it.

Ok, here's my thing with the '80s stuff:

I don't know about you all, but part of the reason I became so enamored with independent artists and underground electronic music was because it provided a fresh alternative to what was pop music in the '80s and carried out on commercial radio. I wanted to get AWAY from it. Now, it's here. Run back underground, QUICK!

Some have defended it to me: "there's nothing wrong with rehashing and bootlegging because that's how house started. AND, it give something more accessible for audiences to latch onto, and it can be a gateway to more underground stuff." Ok, points taken, sort of. BUT, I don't see any more mainstream people getting into dance music as a result of our becoming more "accessible," because those people are all into 'in da club' and britney spears and whoever else. It might be attracting young people in their late teens and early twenties who missed the New Orders and Duran Durans and Frankie Goes to Hollywoods the first time around, but to those of us old-timers in our thirties that got OD'd on them the first time around, it's not fresh, and it's certainly not creatively stimulating...

As a side note, I'd rather hear DJs start rehashing old anthems and classics. You'd be surprised how many new kids have never heard "Flaming June" for example.

Amen. 80's pop music was crap then and still crap now.

Don't give in to the fashion fads of pop culture.
