Boogie Nights: Feel-Good Anthems from the Disco-Funk Crossover Era
This one’s built for movement.
A playlist that rides the line between disco, early '80s funk, and synth-laced pop —
the kind of tracks that make you forget the time and head straight for the dancefloor.
You’ve got early Prince, timeless Madonna, smooth grooves from Patrice Rushen,
and bangers like "Billie Jean" and "Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life".
It’s sequenced like a night out:
opening with flirty funk, building into club classics, and closing with pure celebration.
