Inner City - Big Fun

Heard this in September 88 in Ibiza when I was 25. Crowd erupted when this came on. Crazy happy times. Nearly 61 now but still never tire of this tune. Pure Classic.

I was in a club some months back and the dance floor was not that busy. The DJ suddenly dropped a late 80’s / early 90’s set starting with this. That intro. The bass. The dancefloor was packed within minutes. This never gets old. First Class in every possible way 🎉

Late 80s and early 90s house music is one of the best and most innovative genres. It was completely fresh and original. Nothing like that was ever done before then. Kudos to all all producers who managed to make this sound as it was produced yesterday, while a Katy Perry song from a few years ago sounds like ancient history.

[@tropicanstan4950]

Timeless!

[@ΤάσοςΠισιμίσης-λ1μ]

I totally disagree. although i grew up in the 90's and always listening early 90's dance music, i have to say that the best era of HOUSE music was 1999-2009. The 00's decade was THE decade of house music and not 90's even more NOT late 80's.

​@@noxiousdow Doch, war es!

[@noxiousdow]

@@SaihtamEseiw no it wasn't. House had already become popular a couple of years before Inner City appeared on the scene. I'd say Big Fun was probably the song that brought Detroit techno to the UK though. It didn't sound the same as the house that had been charting in tthe couple of years previously.

[@lualves72]

My God! I danced to this song so many times in the 90s! Such amazing moments! I was happy and I had no idea how much I was

[@Thanos_Kyriakopoulos]

OMG!!! This song is so far ahead of its time it's crazy. If I didn't know the year I could swear it is 1992! A 90's song in 1988. That is what's called a trendsetter!!!

[@MGrimandi]

From the creative point of view, not much happened in the 90s (just think that even the Grunge style was born in the 80s with groups like Nirvana) ... especially if compared to the 80s, an incredible decade for creativity and variety of styles (the 90s were musically marked by dance and little else). To give some examples, all these songs were written between 1988 and 1989: Enya - Orinoco Flow (released in 1988) Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance (released in 1988) Soul II Soul - Back To Life (released in 1989) Black Box - Ride on Time (released as a single in 1989) Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam (released in 1989) Double Trouble feat. Rebel MC - Street Tuff (released in 1989) Snap! - The Power which (recorded in 1989 and released in 1990) Black Box - Everybody Everybody (recorded in 1989, released in 1990) Technotronic - Get Up (Before The Night Is Over) (recorderded in 1989, released on 8 January 1990) Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart (performed live in 1989, recorded in 1989, published in 1990) The sound seems to be from the 90s, because in the 90s they continued on this line but the creativity is all from the 80s.

[@Thanos_Kyriakopoulos]

@@MGrimandi Yes but this is not the music one would listen on the radio in 1988. You would probably hear pop rock. And this is not 1989 or 1990, this is 1988, it's really ahead of its time

[@leroyrs]

@@MGrimandi Well explained. But trust me the 90s kids will still make it their songs, 'cause most of those songs were still played in the early 90s. Synths and drum machines were classic 80s. Roland TR909 etc.
