NOSTALGIA

‘Music For The Dancers’ N°523 – Vintage 90s Music Videos

Tracks like “Think About” by D.J. H. and Stefy tap into ’90s sampling with Aretha Franklin cuts creating a nostalgic-mechanical vibe, while Scooter’s “Back in the U.K.” pairs wild energy with quirky Miss Marple samples, delivering a playful burst to mid-'90s charts. Quench’s “Dreams” leans on trance’s hypnotic flow, blending atmospheric pads and sawtooth riffs that captured attention in early ’90s dance scenes.

Meanwhile, Charles & Eddie’s “N.Y.C.” offers a subdued ode to their city with smooth harmonies but leaves little impact in contrast to their hit “Would I Lie To You?” Meat Beat Manifesto’s “Mindstream” layers industrial breakbeats and techno energy, favoring texture over accessibility, and 808 State’s “In Yer Face” throws dense production into a raw high-energy anthem teetering

‘L’Amour Toujours’ N°313 – Vintage 80s Music Videos

V Capri's "Haunting Me" merges mid-'80s Australian new wave flair with emotive vocals and glossy production, peaking locally at No. 1 in Perth but struggling to make a broader impact. When in Rome’s "The Promise," born out of low-budget ingenuity, became an ’80s pop staple with its melancholic keyboard lines and mid-chart success on both Billboard and dance charts, later revitalized through covers and film appearances like *Napoleon Dynamite*.

The Smiths’ "What Difference Does It Make?" delivers biting lyrics alongside Johnny Marr’s jangly guitar, marking an early standout in their catalog with its philosophical edge and chart presence. Meanwhile, Prefab Sprout’s "Johnny Johnny" hints at the band’s lyrical finesse but lacks the commercial staying power of their bigger hits. Fra Lippo Lippi

‘We Are Live’ N°126 – 2010s Music Videos

Stereophonics’ "Indian Summer" blends nostalgia with arena-ready riffs but feels a bit predictable, while Foals’ "My Number" pulses with rhythmic precision and post-punk cool, earning notable chart success like No. 23 in the UK. Cover Drive’s catchy "Lick Ya Down" peaks at No. 9 in the UK, showcasing polished pop-reggae, and Bruno Mars’ heartfelt ballad "When I Was Your Man" tops the US Billboard Hot 100 with raw, stripped-back emotion.

Mr. Probz’s "Waves," enhanced by Robin Schulz’s remix, rides emotional metaphors to international chart-topping status, while Passenger’s "Let Her Go" captivates with its folk-pop simplicity, becoming a global hit. Zedd, Maren Morris, and Grey’s "The Middle" perfects infectious pop but sacrifices edge for mainstream appeal. James Arthur’s "Safe Inside"
