[back to events page]	Private Joy The Wreckers of Civilisation: Titos Marlatoya Michael Danley Mk The roots of modern dance music. An evening of futuristic music(s) from the underground, circa 1976-1983. (In the lives of many) boundaries we're blurred, barriers destroyed and hybrids born. The utopian dream of a new, future world, flourished in clubs like the Paradise Garage, the Loft and the Mudd Club. An assault on mainstream tastes and ideals. A reaction to the harsh realities of real life. This ideal was reflected in the music being played. Post-Punk funk, New wave disco, Breakin', Synth-pop, Electro, Disco rap, Industrial... A convergence of genres, politics and lifestyles, creating a new attitude and with it, a new sound. Cold and impersonal, warm and organic, gay, straight, angry, ecstatic, black, white, male, female, etc. The Wreckers of Civilisation
