As Popbitch mentioned the other week in their mail out "It's back to the 80s in 2009, and not just any old 80s, but the synth pop we loved in our youth" the 80s have a well deserved come back scheduled in on a musical level for 09.
It's funny how as soon as something is put into your head it seems to pop up all over the place. Soon after reading said Popbitch quote I came across Desdemona Plays Pop.
Desdemona Plays Pop are DJ duo Ruth and Ed. Two lovely musical brains that together plan to put the fun back into clubbing with their mix of 80s classics, feel-good tunes and songs in their original format. If you imagine a C90 cassette as the cover mount on a copy of Smash Hits you'd get the idea!
Relatively new to the scene Desdemona Plays Pop have already opened for Belinda Carlise at Indig02 and are soon to be found entertaining the skaters at Somerset House on Jan 16th 2009! In the next few months they plan to launch a weekly 80s club-night in central London so have your leg warmers at the ready!
With a revisit to trends that Madonna pioneered firmly in the air such as pearls, lace and cropped leather jackets why should the music not follow?
