mid & late 80s

Still living in Montreal that had one of the most vibrant nightlife in the world during these years, where I mainly frequented among others : the Beat, the Business, the Poodles where I even worked as a DJ, the Passeport and the Lézard.

Probably from 1983, contains music inspired by the Beat (Montreal club) where I spent a lot of time

Probably from 1983, a melting pot of genres, unfortunately pretty bad sound quality

Probably from 1983, the last of my so-called New Wave cassettes, with some serious Punk accents at the end of side B

Probably from 1983, an 'interesting' mix of New Wave and Jon & Vangelis
