For your next party why not aim to do something different and take it back to yester-year retro music style. Pick a year in your life, say the year you left school, lets face it the music was brilliant then wasn't it. Choose another year perhaps when you started work, again another year of top pop tunes.

Old Skool is the new cool. Most people will think back to an earlier time and agree, music today is not as good as it was then. This is true, or to put it another way completely untrue. In fact at any point in the UK chart history there would be rubbish music which we have wisely forgotten, and we only remember the classic tracks. Unfortunately a less experienced party DJ, who is only playing tracks from compilation albums will not know what's a hit and what's a miss until it creates a dance floor walk off. For example if you love 80's music do you love the massive number one tune "there's no one quite like grandma", or the chirpy classic "Orville's song". These tracks all make our worst tunes of the 80s list and some serious money would have to change hands before we would give these terrible tunes a spin at an 80s retro music party.

With experience, the party DJ can filter out all the rubbish and no matter what period you pick for your retro music theme party there will still be a wealth of great tracks to choose from. In fact music selections can usually be honed down even further. For instance 60's Motown is very different to swinging sixties Mersey beat or music from the 60s flower power generation etc.

What about 70s glam rock verses 70's punk rock, so different yet this music was divided in the charts only by about a year. 70's soul and disco are similar but you could have a Retro music party playing one or the other, or both.

80s music party's are very popular, with a broad range of music styles to choose from. New wave bands with the distinct electronic sound can help set the tone of a retro party, and tunes from the hugely popular 80's boy bands like Duran Duran, ABC and Spandau Ballet will build the dance floor action. Maintaining popularity particularly amongst the chaps is the ska and reggae inspired sounds of bands like Madness, Bad Manners and UB40. These bands have provided us with some classic floor fillers that will even get dad on the dance floor, at a family party today.

Towards the end of the 80's, dance took over. During a party everyone started shouting aciiiiiiiid... house (which is different to earlier Chicago house) this doesn't work that well at Retro party today but is set for a comeback. The bit in the middle 80s is often the most popular. This can be divided in to different groups, ie cheesy pop tunes from artists such as Wham, Kylie, Mel and Kim, etc or discos classics from Whitney Houston, Alexander O'Neill and Luther Vandross etc.

The best Retro night disco parties would usually involve a combination of everything. Picking the best and most popular floor filling smash hits from each decade and style is a sure way to guarantee a great Retro disco party. Or why not plan your party around these suggestions.

Or blend the music styles and mix old skool, pop and disco with 90's and now.
