Open-Format 80s Party Playlist from Venice Beach Bash
This open-format 80s party playlist is straight from a small party I DJed on Venice Beach last weekend. There are some smoother sounds to get the mood set before turning up the heat! Of all the Venice Beach DJs, Tammy chose me…and I’m so grateful. We had a blast gettin’ down in the sand at sunset.
Note: “Open format” is DJ lingo for “all genres.” In this case, the 80s party playlist includes everything from classic rock to new wave to hip hop.
