To understand the importance of the 1985 collection, one must first recognize the state of dance music at that moment. By 1985, the term "disco" had become a commercial liability, yet the dance floor was more alive than ever. The genre had fractured and specialized. In their place came Hi-NRG (a faster, harder, more synthesizer-driven evolution of disco), Latin freestyle (blending electro beats with melodic, often Spanish-language vocals), and the early rumblings of house music out of Chicago. The Dance Classics albums of 1985 capture this exact fragmentation. A single compilation might feature the thunderous, orchestral stomp of a track like Shannon’s "Do You Wanna Get Away" (from 1985) alongside the robotic, sequenced precision of New Order’s "The Perfect Kiss" or the soulful, Latin-infused energy of Exposé’s "Point of No Return." The collection argues, correctly, that all of these disparate sounds belong under the same big tent of bodily movement. : Dedicated to rare and extended club mixes
