The 80s: The decade after disco proved to be a fruitful one for music. Out of punk came new wave, new romantic and the birth of indie music. Those of us who marched to a funkier beat? Well, we had groove. And plenty of it. Ministry of Sound has put together these moments in our latest compilation – 80s Groove. Groove was born out of disco and funk. The music was an explosion of feel-good vibes, and was the antithesis of the gloom of the time. There were two schools of thought in the 80s, both were equally as valid. The indie school rallied around artists such as The Smiths and Billy Bragg with their poetic, yet grounded takes on working class life, and the realities of the era. They urged you to wake up and smell the coffee. But as everybody knows, we work at our highest level after we’ve had sufficient rest time, and what better place to start than the nightclub. Groove was born out of disco, and the hedonistic pursuit of pleasure, and the three discs in this compilation is packed with the anthems that made the period such a special time for people.
