I basically grew up in the gay nightclubs and bars of the city of Detroit in the 80s and early 90s. Not a night that went by when I wasn’t at The Gold Coast (AKA The Troll Coast), Menjos, The Gas Station, GiGis, or my favorite, Backstreet.
I used to bring my straight friends with me every once in awhile and they loved it, They fit in perfectly, and wanted to go sometimes when I did not.
The men, the atmosphere, the “life” of the bars were like mana to me.
Sure I now know I wasted a lot of time and money in the bars but back when I was younger it seemed like living the high-life.
I fell in love with dance music from that time and I thought I’d share some of my favorites. If you enjoy this kind of music from this period please feel free to post away!
Please share if you would like. The world can never have enough great dance music from this time period.
