This mix mainly came about through discovering G.A.N.G.'s KKK, a really gorgeous slice of floaty electronic disco, and wanting to build a mix around it. Apart from all hovering around the 100 BPM mark, what binds most of these tracks together is a laidback and melancholic feel with lots of melody. The title says it all really. Again, most of it is from the 80s, but with quite a few more recent tracks too.

It feels like I spent ages making this one, as many of the tracks required quite extensive editing to fit in the mix. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the end result, let me know what you think.
