First Time Reaction Trans-X Living On Video (THIS IS FIRE!) | Dereck Reacts

[@carlosmodegahan4455]

This song was very popular in the US in the mid 80’s, you could listen to a lot of cars driving and jamming this song at full volume!

[@LepoXL]

Pascal Languirand, the singer, was inspired by the popular computer film "Tron". One of the best HighEnergy Tracks in the 80s

[@coachtomas]

I had this on repeat back in the day .. let me tell you ! Hints of early techno and dance as early as the mid 80s - there in the use of modified sounds, glitches and beeps. Kind of a mash up of Kraftwerk but more so Giorgio Moroder and 70s disco. Hidden gem indeed.

[@bankique]

Hello, I think this sound is timeless! 80's madness. Still better music than some of today. Dereck keep it up, I love your reactions.

[@jeffcappelletti1986]

The synthesizer shown is the Roland SH-101. This synthesizer is monophonic with no presets or memory. The SH-101 will cost you $600 plus used. The SH-101 is very collectable and in demand. Roland makes a boutique reissue of the SH-101

[@sooperhooper]

Im in the UK and this was one of my favourite songs of the 80`s,a real floor filler in the disco`s I went to then,a bit of an underground hit.

[@kunifahretrallala8085]

Genau das wollte ich auch schreiben und ich bin aus Deutschland🤗

[@benlarin8426]

I LOVE this song! Great memories!! Thanks Dereck!!

[@MrMrFearghal]

I think you'd enjoy the Belgium New Beat, a typical genre of music that reigned from 1987 to 1997. The New Beat has been broken down into several subgroups: New Beat, House Music, Techno, Acid Music, Trance, Hardcore. Some masterhits are "Hmm Hmm" from Taste of Sugar, "It's a Dream" from Amnesia, "Superfly Guy" from S'Express, Move Your Feet To The Rhythm Of The Beat" from Hithouse, "Move Your Ass And Feel The Beat" from Erotic Dissidents, "I Sit On Acid" from Lords of Acid, "Rave the Rhythm" from Channel X (you can hear this track in Basic Instincts), "The Dream" from Acts of Madmen, "Coccaine" from The Maxx, "Too Nice To Be Real" from T 99, and soooo many others. You can't ignore the New Beat if you want to cover the late eighties.

Most electro song in history! Love Laurie Ann Gill 🙌🏻👩🏻🇨🇦🔥💋😎😁🤩♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@balazspandi9782]

Brilliant! Awesome song and reaction! Synth heaven.

[@Reani71]

This was highly influenced by the Italo Disco sound, a genre that should be right up your alley. Just check out My Mine - Hypnotic Tango, Clio - Faces or Righeira - Vamos a la Playa to dive deeper into this, you won't regret it.

[@eroloden5611]

Savage "Don't cry Tonight"

[@Орест-в6в]

and The Twins as well

[@vector7727]

Digital Emotion - Get Up Action and Digital Emotion - Go Go Yellow Screen are highly recommended.

[@hossfrombonanza]

Hypnotic Tango is an anthem!

[@CoSVT-j7c]

Den Harrow - Bad Boy , or Catch the Fox

[@sergiobulletari9459]

This song has a 1 minute more extended version that they played at The ODESSEY on Beverly Blvd LA & Frinkin' Rocked The Best Club in LA. Living On Video Legendary Club Super Banger!

They were from Montréal. Best place after N-Y for 80's dance music!

[@chicodigital]

Enjoyed this one! Just subscribed! I like you’re feel, you actually enjoy the music unlike others whom just criticize. Thanks!

[@jensharryhausen9603]

The best Version of this Track is the "85 Big Mix" from 1985.

[@dimirockeropoulos6104]

I had the 12' inch version on vinyl. They were the days

[@jamesianmartin7227]

Great band from the Montreal scene. This got played a lot in underground clubs in Toronto back then.

[@dorojessy6932]

Awesome song and reaction! I was wondering, have you ever reacted to Kraftwerk? They are from Germany and they were big in the 70's, their music style was Synthiepop, their hits included: "Autobahn" or "Das Model".

[@stephanewantiez164]

She says "sur un faisceau de lumière", "on a light beam"

[@mistah_freeze]

You definitely should check italo disco stuff. It's a whole new world, naive, bright, sunny and slightly wacky lol :D The synths may be dated, the lyrics may be gibberish sometimes and the accents are ridiculous, but the melodies are AWESOME. I'd recommend P. Lion - Happy Children, Valerie Dore - Get Closer, Albert One - Secrets, Radiorama - Aliens and many many more

[@CoSVT-j7c]

and Den Harrow - Catch the fox or Bad Boy 😊

[@3soolyat875]

The song was very popular in germany in the mid and late 80s and some cars are going with this song and full volume 220 km/h on the highway xD

[@matt47110815]

Ah yes, New Wave... that was soo beautifully weird, and very brief, 1981-83 i think? I am thinking Peter Schilling (Major Tom), Nena (99 Luftballons), DÖF, Trans-X, early OMD, etc.

[@josephm6320]

Play this song in LA California everyone knows this song, always hear it at family parties lol

[@richierich4538]

Facts brother! Here in the I.E. too👍🏼✌🏽

[@rsjam4558]

Please Dereck react to VISAGE : "FADE TO GREY". Same era, pure new wave, synths, etc. An iconic song of the early 80s!

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Sounds kind of Human League/Men without Hats flavoured.That was also quite popular in the clubs at the time.A similar sounding one was "FACE TO FACE" by The Twins.

[@eroloden5611]

Excellent song!!! Dereck? Try definitely John Carpenter's " The End", from 1983. The coolest electro music ever made. Really the coolest one... Greetings from Belgium

[@samueldevulder]

Canadian new wave/synth pop are good. This song has been sampled & covered a lot of times IIRC.

[@patricelion902]

what a surprise to hear this song here lol

[@connexionnature4583]

Rholala je l'avais oublié celui là, quel son! Un peu kitsch mais bien foutu. 10 ans et premières boom whaaaaa

[@stephanewantiez164]

I don't know if we can find a more 80s video than that 😁

[@cristobal_lara76]

Stage - Can't get you out of my mind 👌🏻

[@shannonhailey7187]

Check out "The Politics of Dancing" by Re-flex

[@sasapejcin3568]

Early analogue techno pop at its best!

[@Romain-vs4bz]

A sound that I love which has had a lot of cover with the version of dj piccolo in 2001 of pakito in 2006 of maeva carter in 2013 and stream in 2016 which are the best remixes for me .

[@maelmoor]

Great reaction! This is such a great song, love the synth bonanza!

[@cezarypilecki5522]

Nice! That song stuck in my head forever. If you like those electronic sounds try Marek Biliński - Escape From The Tropics (1984).

[@AnyGameAtAll]

i like how he starts to get more an more crazy about the song

[@r.h.7633]

I grew up with these songs.

[@greetribe3651]

Great choice! Try Visage - fade to grey & Lime - unexpected lovers

[@v.j.3029]

I wish you would’ve done the French version, Vivre Sur Vidéo. It’s even better in my opinion cause the singer’s voice sounds different and better in it. It just has more punch than the English version.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

Really?Didn't know that about a French version!i had that album and had a couple of rather good ones."Jose" and "Message on the radio" were the ones i liked.

[@v.j.3029]

@@christianoazzuro6711 They played the French version on the radio in Quebec so it was the one I knew of growing up in the 80's. It's the one I have on my playlist and now comparing both versions, I can confirm the French one is the best.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

@@v.j.3029 Thanx V.J. i'll check this out.

[@v.j.3029]

@@christianoazzuro6711 Cool! Let me know if you agree or not.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

@@v.j.3029Just listened to it.I prefer the English version on the male vocal part cause it's less "theatrical" and don't fit the song the way the singer performs it in French.But the female singing part in French is unbeatable and sounds far better than the English version.It's gives a more exotic sense and the girls' voice sounds quite sensual.So i'm "torn between the two versions lol.Wish the guy sung in French same "punctual" way he performed it as in the English version.That would be perfect to my ears.French language and accent is so beautiful btw.Thanx a lot for the info.

[@lilreynielsv6922]

SYNTH WAVE TECHNO DISCO IS THE BEST TO REACT

[@hugocarrera3519]

Creo que esta música debería de ser más analizada por que en verdad hay buena música pienso que es poco valorada cuando en muchos países estuvieron en las primeras listas de éxitos

[@outlawgt3045]

This song sounds like it comes from the future

[@outlawgt3045]

Space gun sounds in the background. You can't beat that

[@angelnemesis]

You should react to McL-New York New York and CCCP-Americans vs Soviets. ALL the 80s synths you can handle! 🖤

[@truthreignsforever9286]

Chick has a cool 😎 sass, dig it

[@benoitdefleurac1113]

OK... next step Dereck : TELEX - Moskow Disco !

[@karthikkulkarni9458]

Derek's reaction is not a reaction till he says "bananas"😂

[@hugocarrera3519]

Deberías de escuchar a patrick cowley y sylvester o al señor Bobby Orlando

[@jordangagat]

Moog sound 80 s

[@martinsv9183]

You should check out some 80's songs from "Platinum Blonde"... For example "Crying Over You", "Standing In The Dark", "Situation Critical", "Red Light".. Hard to make something more 80's than that.

[@ScFamicom]

La meilleure version est celle de Cardenia dans les années 90. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5-3e2Vte6abqac

[@xxJ0xx]

Wrong 1985 not 83

[@pixieproduction7860]

Des fois on dirait que t'es né hier, tu découvre des vieux tubes des usa, genre comme ci tu ne les avais jamais entendu 🤦‍♂️

Un "Zaak no.2", le retour! Nul à iech!

Au moins ce qui me rassure dans l'histoire c'est que c'est pas Français! Y'a déjà moins de soucis à se faire! 😂🤣 Mais n'empêche c'est nul! Je sais pas ce qu'il y trouve.

[@bigguys45s29]

Not a big hit here in America. Only peaked as high as No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986.

[@alexjimenez0392]

Oh boy! I have 29 years old and love so much this song, but you need react to song of TAPPS My Forbidden Lover or Your Love of LIME. Great reaction!

[@feugly7913]

Habré escuchado y bailado está canción centenares de veces

Derek you would have liked to be a teenager in the 80s they were unforgettable years musically
