Discothèque Decadence DD023 Haçienda Manchester Opening – 44th Anniversary 80s & 90s Dance Classics Step back onto one of the most influential dancefloors in music history as Discothèque Decadence celebrates the 44th anniversary of Manchester's legendary Haçienda. This special edition pays tribute to the records, DJs and unforgettable nights that helped define club culture throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. From the euphoric rise of House and Garage to the underground sounds that fuelled a generation, DD023 captures the spirit of a movement that changed dance music forever. Featuring timeless classics and dancefloor anthems from Todd Terry, David Morales, Roger Sanchez, K-Klass, Inner City, A Guy Called Gerald, Derrick May, Larry Heard, Alison Limerick, Joe Smooth and many more, this mix is packed with the records that lit up Manchester's most famous club. For me, this is where the story really begins. The Haçienda sound, the records, the culture and the energy of that era sparked my own love affair with dance music during the mid-to-late 1990s. Long before DJing, collecting records and creating mixes became a huge part of my life, these were the records and stories that inspired everything that followed. Pulled from the archives, this mix has become something of a time capsule. Over the years it has grown into the most listened-to Dance Classics mix I've ever recorded, continuing to attract listeners who share a love for the golden era of House music and the enduring legacy of the Haçienda. Every track has been carefully selected and mixed with love as a celebration of the records, the DJs and the dancefloor that changed everything. TRACKLIST 1. The Source feat.
