About this event

Take a trip back to the Mid 80s with Mutant Movement, the New Romantics had packed their bags and moved on and we were yet to reach the House explosion. Expect to hear a blend of the best in Pop along with a few dance classics of the day and what you’ve come to know Mutant Movement for, the biggest Alternative Anthems to keep that dancefloor packed all afternoon and into the evening.

Mutant Movement 1980 Daytime Disco : 45th Anniversary AFTERNOON DJ Set

 
Should the demand be as high as we're hoping and ticket sales come in early, as well as having the upstairs rooms, we would open up downstairs with a playlist of the type of music you may have seen at the Guilty Pleasures events but again, it's dependant on those early sales so if they don't come, there will be a few of those tunes mixed in with the cooler tracks just in the upstairs rooms.

 Where were you in 1980 and what were you into? Whatever it was, we hope to play it at this all dayer from 3pm, dancing to 1980's best sounds 

About this event

 We can all agree that the 80s was the best decade to be growing up and reaching adulthood, 1980 must be the best year ever for music.

If you heard how good Mutant Movement 1979 Special was, then this is going to be even better and we're not gonna publish a finish time so that if you are crying out for more as they did last time, we will keep going but don't bank on it as most people are ready to drop after 5 hours so get there at 3pm and you're in for the best music from the best year from the best decade all afternoon!
