BeestonBi:
playlist mirrored one I aquired decades ago for Casablanca Club in Newcastle around same time. The Roy Thode tape has a mix out of Cut Glass that is inspired. I also have a tape of history of Hi-Nrg from 92 where Michael Lumsden dj at afore mentioned Casablanca where he was first dj in NE to mix and later Rockshots. The first hour of Boystown Disco is inspired but it goes rapidly downhill as we get nearer a Dead or Alive megamix
The very short lived revival at Macho City was fun too. Maybe it will return sometime in the future.
I’d never thought of what the distinction was between “hi-nrg” and “boystown” but have seen that used to be the term prior (did Record Mirror call their chart Boystown at some point).
I think I signed up to the Macho City mailing list about a week after their last event

Took a punt on this is a charity shop come years back.
Got home played it, didnt like it (I dont really like Hi=NRG) but thought it might sound ok slowed down, and it kind of does.

I think it’s a bit of acknowledged Balearic classic anyway, but I can’t stop playing this currently (I’m reading the Menergy book, so it’s in my mind)

That was on Casablanca playlist too but don’t think it’s HiNrg, though obviously massive in gay clubs x
I got into that after hearing Gary Davies play it daily on his R1 Show
