💬 HUMAN PERSPECTIVE / МОИ МЫСЛИ
RU (Мои мысли): Продолжение культовой серии «Now 12" 80s» погружает нас в золотой фонд танцевальной музыки 1986 года. Здесь идеальный баланс между синти-попом, клубным фанком и нью-вейвом. Длинные версии треков от Pet Shop Boys, Cameo, New Order и Eurythmics звучат невероятно объемно и отлично подходят как для ностальгического прослушивания, так и для диджейских сетов.

EN (DJ Review): Another masterclass in 80s remix curation from the "Now 12'' 80s" imprint. Part Two for 1986 hits all the right notes, blending high-energy club anthems, infectious funk grooves, and atmospheric synth-rock masterpieces. The inclusion of hard-to-find extended mixes from artists like Cameo, New Order, and Pet Shop Boys makes this 4-disc package an indispensable historical archive for modern selectors.
