Inspired by the success of their 12”/80s series, Family Recordings have announced the release of 12”/80s/Dance. Returning to their Time Machine they have put together an album containing a 3-CD collection of 30 extended mixes of Pop, Club, Soul & Funk from the 80’s.

This was the era when the extended mix came to the fore and although the tracks might not be your cup of tea now, the role they played in helping inspire people to dance the night away in nightclubs and appreciate the art of the DJ is crucial.
