Fave Hi-NRG Tracks

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 :frowning:

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
