...The heat is on in Tapei...and we're about to party like it's 1986.

In a downtown bar sometime in the early hours of the morning, a collection of Taipei's shadiest characters will be pulled in from the seediest clubs, casinos, pool halls and strip joints, to deliver a series of unadulterated guilty pleasures and form the ultimate 80s party...


*6 DJs on 2 Floors
*350nt(+1 Drink)
*Free Drinks + Multiple Cash Prizes of $500 each for funkiest 80s costumes (think loud, bright, summer colours)

DJ Lineup:

[FIRST FLOOR]

***Duckie "Dirty Business" Montana (aka Marcus Aurelius)***
As a cuban refugee with a passion for Otis Redding, Duckie Montana has a dark past as a bassist for Hall and Oates. He has an utter disregard for the any law involving public fornication and continues to tour as a roadie for Right Said Fred.

***Lance Vance (aka 8Ball)***
This pool hall shark is as as shady come. Having featured as a guest on Sleazy McQueen's 'Miami Nights 94.4FM' between 1983 and 1985 ...he enjoyed a career as an extra in such hit 80s shows as The A-Team and Miami Vice. He later appeared in several Colour Me Badd videos and claims to have played pool with cockney legend, Jimmy White, which ended abruptly because, as Vance put it, 'there was a big massive fight'. Dodgy.

[SECOND FLOOR]

***Barry Pendegrass, or Mississippi Slim or 'The Lady Killer' (aka Digital D)***

After working as a bouncer at various nightclubs in San Francisco, got busted for fraud for impersonating and stealing the identity of Barry White. He then released a 'Platinum Hits of Teddy Pendergrass' collection, then used his funds to flee the States so that he could avoid paying taxes.

***Colonel Mustard (aka Mr Uppity)***
Framed Professor Plum in the ballroom with the candlestick he left the clue scene with Miss Scarlet and the rope...these days he focuses on funky, one of a kind house tracks infused with a dash of the finest mustard that only the Colonel can deliver. Further questions can be directed to Mustard Inc...but the whereabouts of the last person who asked questions remains unknown...

***Tori Sparks (aka Kolette)***
Worked as a DJ on underground DJ station 'Flash FM', later being used as a model for the 80s based computer game, 'GTA Vice City', the sparky diva is coming in with killer 80s hooks and some Italian House that's sure to get you moving. You have been warned!

***Burt Tanner (aka Robi Roka)***
This London geezer missed much of the 80s western music scene, spending most of that time in various Columbian.....institutes (for reasons he chose not to elaborate on). However, Tanner assures us that the time served has left him 'rehabilitated, rejuvenated, reinvigorated...and reassimilated' (his exact words). Tanner says he now works in Taiwan as an 'organ trader', but declined to specify whether this referred to musical instruments or body parts.
