Lord Sear, Statik Selektah: 'Open Bar Classics Vol. 1: The '80s' (Mixtape)

6:23 p.m. · April 23, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

So you're thinking about throwing a party tonight and, for whatever reason, you want to have it be an '80s-themed gathering. I don't blame you, the decade birthed some of the more ridiculous and fun dance music of our time. Thus, it's pretty much perfect for your shindig. Only problem: You need some music outside of the usual '80s playlist everyone uses at every party like this. Well, DJs Statik Selektah and Lord Sear have got you covered. Their Open Bar Classics Vol. 1: The '80s compiles some of the better ass-shakin', club jams of the early part of the decade. If you don't believe me, check out the track listing below. Also, get ready for the '90s mixtape as it's apparently due out soon.
