I DJ at an 80’s club sometimes. The opening slot. When only the bartenders, the regulars, true eighties heads & people who don’t want to pay the cover are there. Most people hate the opening slot, but I like it. I have the pleasure of spinning some of the more obscure (ahem, better) stuff from back in the day, without someone requesting Depeche Mode or Morrissey every 5 minutes.
Gina X Performance is one of those artists that fall into the obscure category. If someone would’ve have told me that this album was made this year, I’d have no reason to doubt it. GXP are considered more disco/electro, but the track ‘Be a Boy’ is bathed in new wavey-ness. Artists probably influenced by Gina X include Miss Kittin, Revl9n & Peaches.
Here’s three tracks from their 1979 ‘Nice Mover’ album.
Gina X Performance - Nice Mover
Gina X Perfomance - Be A Boy
Gina X Performance - No G.D.M.
The whole album from the first track to the final is gold. Gigolo Records re-released No G.D.M. on 12 inch. You can go pick that up here
