The 80s Reinvented - A Mix of SynthPop, 80s New Wave and Modern ElectroClash

Last week, my wifey was watching "Two And A Half Men" starring Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen followed by "Grey's Anatomy" starring Patrick Dempsey . That was when I started to think if it was really the return of the 80s on TV? Is there something about these has-been actors that US networks feel they would still have the same appeal as they had before? Perhaps, giving them a new image and mature roles proved this effective, as these are two of the most popular TV shows in the US at the moment.

Looking back, here are 2 of their most memorable teen movies from the 80s, Jon Cryer in "Pretty In Pink" and Patrick Dempsey in "Can't Buy Me Love."

So having this idea, I came up with today's mix consisting of tracks originally from the 80s, but reinvented for a more interesting and modern sound. I've also incorporated new tracks from modern electroclash artists and bands, which also have a retro-new wave-synthesized sound, all in the mix. So sit back, relax and enjoy a different approach to retro.
