1980s Revisited All Dayer

A whole decade of unrivalled music to dance to for six hours in the afternoon and evening until 10pm, in bed by 11pm, what more could you ask for?

The 80s were no doubt, the greatest decade ever for music and with the full 10 years to choose from, these world renowned DJs will have you dancing non-stop from 4-10pm.

Ministry of Sound DJ and DMC Remixer DJ Dakeyne had the crowd buzzing at 1992 Revisited and is sure so raise the roof with his 80s set, having worked with so many top names back in the day, there isn’t a track from this era that he hasn’t played and more than likely still does on his live streams. His Remix of Exposé’s Tell Me Why, recorded right at the end of the 80s is one to watch out for, it became a proper Piano Anthem across the Globe. He had another worldwide club hit with Tinman – 18 Strings, based on THAT Nirvana riff and had club success with Zone Ranger – 2 B Reel, played at The Gallery in Leeds back in the day.

As well as that, we have two Leeds Legends, having worked together at 80s Love Affair events in Leeds over the past few years, this is the perfect pairing to take you back in time, filling the Valentine’s Day slot that has been at Distrikt for the last decade or so.

ELA founder Anton Raphael is as good as any DJ on the circuit, mixing tunes recorded nearly 50 years ago as though they were made to be mixed. He was an integral part of the 80s Vice City nights and has DJed around Leeds since the 90s at nights such as SpeedQueen at Leeds Warehouse and has been on board with Revisited since day 1, playing at the first 1990 Revisited. His set at 1984 Revisited with Greg Wilson at Distrikt was outstanding as well as the year previous at 1983 Revisited, the 80s really are his home turf and with his love for Visage and Adam & The Ants, expect him to dip back into early in the decade!

James Patta first experienced Leeds nightlife at the age of 14 when he saw Bridewell Taxis at Leeds Warehouse, he then started going to Ricky’s and buying Sasha tapes from Leeds clothes shops. At 17, he started at Hi-Flyers and became resident at the Corn Exchange bar with Steve Luigi every Friday from ’92-’95. Recently, you could see him at House Of Phunk & Hush and will be making his first appearance for Revisited on Dec 27th at 1990 Revisited All Dayer.

So what to expect, we ran a poll for your favorite tracks of the 80s, obviously they can’t all fit into six hours but suffice to say, you may hear a good few of them.
