PRESS

The self-proclaimed king of 1980s music in Japan is DJ 19. He has a keen ear for that particular decade in music and it helps explain why he’s released many 1980s cover tunes under the DJ 19, Ambrozia, Valid Evidence and Hot Station guises over the years. As a result of his love for all things breakdancing, new wave, parachute pants, big hair, electro, synth pop and other 1980s-based culture, he has decided to release a compilation that focuses on 80s cover tunes that’s aptly titled “80s Investigation”. The album’s chillout grooves include mostly projects he has been involved with. There are only 2 songs in which he wasn’t involved.


Most of the tracks have already seen a release, but there’s also 3 new exclusive tunes here. The first one has been done by Valid Evidence aka DJ 19 & Yu-Ta. They have covered the revered ‘Love Theme’ from the movie “Blade Runner”. It just so happens that this move is DJ 19’s favourite movie of all time, with an amazing musical score by the legend that is Vangelis. 


The second track is by Ambrozia - aka DJ 19 & Edison. They have covered Frankie Goes To Hollywood ‘The Power Of Love’. The Original Mix was released on Ambrozia’s “Bells Of Christmas” release in 2013. It features the male vocalist Shango Trex.  


The third new track is a cover by Hideout of a huge instrumental hit in 1980s - Kenny G’s ‘Songbird’. 


“80s Investigation” is the ultimate soundtrack to any discerning clubber’s winter holiday.
