1984 - Shout It Out! (Mirko Hirsch Remix)

I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to sense of string of light in the future. 2022 is set to be an extraordinary year, packed with releases and live events. At least as it appears at the moment here in Sweden. That also counts for pbhmedia – we have loads of fun stuff coming up. Here’s the last release of February, the band 1984 in quite new dresses 😉

Mirko Hirsch is a German musician, singer, songwriter and producer. He’s been releasing music since 2010 and besides his own songs he has written, arranged and remixed artists like Ken Laszlo, Trans-X, Albert One, Fred Ventura, Italove and Linda Jo Rizzo. And now the time has come for 1984. His style is partially influenced by melodic rock / AOR music of the 1980s, and you may also hear echoes of the contemporary synthwave / retrowave sound in his remix of Shout It Out. >> Mirko Hirsch on Bandcamp

SCALA is also based in Germany, but is the moniker of Swedish musician, songwriter and producer Peter Johansson. In late 2019 he entered a remix contest staged by the band 1984. His version of Synthpop och filmen G was chosen for vinyl release and it also became the start for the SCALA concept. Following additional remixes for acts like Vogon Poetry, Uncreated, Electric City Cowboys and Projekt Ich – and a couple of own releases, he’s now back where it started. But the remix of Shout It Out (together with the unheard Metallwerk), turned out quite unexpected. >> SCALA on Bandcamp

Euro Disco

RMI - Euro Disco

One of the early representatives of the 1980s genre was the British group Imagination and with their series of hits throughout 1981 and 1982. The term "Eurodisco" quickly faded in the 1980s and was replaced by the very wide term of "Italo disco" for more than a decade. But in America, Donna Summer was the only 1980s Eurodisco singer, and the term hi-NRG was used there instead. Italo disco was the first successful 1980s Eurodisco variation. Probably because of this, all the later 1980s Eurodisco variations were called "Italo disco" by the Europeans (with the exception of Eurobeat). Italo disco began to develop in Italy in the late 1970s and early 1980s, by groups like Gazebo, Kano and 'Lectric Workers. 1980s Eurodisco variations soon appeared later in France, Germany, Spain and Greece. The Italian and German Eurodisco productions were the most popular. German pop duo Modern Talking was an icon of Eurodisco between 1985–1987 and became the most successful Eurodisco project ever. Bad Boys Blue was another very successful project. That style became very popular in Eastern Europe and remained popular until the early 1990s. In Poland, disco polo, a local music genre relying heavily on Eurodisco was developed at the verge of the '80s and '90s. Some Canadian disco productions by groups like Lime became hits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurodisco
