Digital Emotion

Digital Emotion - Go Go yellow screen

"Formed in Denmark in mid-1983, Digital Emotion recorded two memorable albums of their funky electronic dance music. Their 1984 self-titled debut outing, which featured such infectious dance tunes as "Get Up, Action" and "Go Go Yellow Screen", was followed by Outside In The Dark, a year later. Both albums were produced the production team of Adam and Flesiner, whose past credits include overseeing recordings by the Videokids, Monotones, l-Vira and Q-Matic." (from Allmusic.com)

"Go Go Yellow Screen" by Dutch group Digital Emotion is about as solid as they come. Produced by Adams & Fleisner, this partnership produced a lot of hi- nrg electro for Break Records in the 1980s. Their style seems to have been co-opted by bubble gum dance groups from the 90s (aka Aqua and Venga Boys).

Sally Shapiro is doing some great things with the Italo sound these days with a new release "My Guilty Pleasure." Here are two songs off here new record and a Junior Boys Remix of 'Jackie' for your enjoyment. She is working with Swedish producer Johan Agebjorn who exhibits steady control over the production along with songwriter Roger Gunnarsson.

Bad Boys Blue

I Wanna Hear Your Heartbeat (1986)

Been pretty busy juggling a few projects but had to get these guys up. A friend pointed me to Bad Boys Blue and these guys are the real deal. They have enjoyed much more widespread fame than most of the other artists I have featured on here. From Cologne, Germany they had large audiences in Eastern Europe, Russia (USSR), and South Africa. Check out what they are up to now.
