80s Hits
Synths, drum machines and the 80s anthems you still know by heart, each one introduced by your own DJ.
80s Hits is a station of songs that sound like the decade: a-ha's Take On Me, Tears for Fears, Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Madonna (four times over, from Into The Groove to Vogue), Prince's Purple Rain and When Doves Cry, Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, Toto's Africa and Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill.
It's for anyone who grew up with these songs, and for anyone who found them later. Put it on for a drive, a kitchen dance or a long afternoon of work. Before every track, your DJ gives a short intro with a checked fact or a story about the song or the artist, while the music dips underneath, just like real radio. Facts come from a music library built from Wikipedia and MusicBrainz, and you won't hear the same one twice.
