London, 1979. From the rubble and ashes of punk a new youth cult was emerging. Divinely inspired by Bowie, Roxy Music and Kraftwerk, a new tribe the press started labelling New Romantics, or Futurists, discarded punk’s old-hat claims towards authenticity and protest, in pursuit of glamour, make-up, dressing up and dancing. Their home was The Blitz Club, a tiny wine bar at the edge of Covent Garden and what went on there between 1979 and 1980 would genuinely change the world. The other name for this cult? Blitz Kids. Without necessarily knowing it, The Blitz was birthing the next wave of British pop stars. A young Boy George ran the cloakroom, its host and doorman was a young Steve Strange, soon-to-be the frontman of Visage, Spandau Ballet played their first gig there and on a given night you might find yourself dancing next to a member of Ultravox. Fashion designers in Regency ballgowns mingled with secretaries in rubber, post boys dressed as Biggles danced next to art school kids dressed as Pierrot. David Bowie assembled his extras for the ‘Ashes To Ashes’ video from the Blitz kids. Mick Jagger was refused entry. Too square.

Following the success of the first 'Box Of Sin' in 2023, Demon / Edsel and Disco Discharge are proud to announce the sequel 'More Sin: Box of Sin 2' will be released this February 2025. Over 4 LPs, 'More Sin' presents 29 choice selections from the music you might have heard on Queer dancefloors between 1980 and 1989; a decade of dance in all it's devilish delights. Meticulously researched from the published gay club charts at the time, this CD set encompasses full length versions of Diva, High Energy, Alternative, Pop, Europop and House classics. Not only were the '80s Queer clubs where you were most likely to hear the latest groundbreaking developments in dance music, there was a lot of diversity on offer. On any given night you might hear a legendary soul singer's new opus right next to some post punks from Manchester and the latest European pop chart topper. 'More Sin' aims to reflect this.
