The all ages club Club Culture is featured a lot in the 1985 series. For us as middle schoolers, it's where we spent our weekends. Usually we were part of the younger crowd there as most of the other clubbers there were high school and college age ( and some military personnel).
Weekend were Soul and Funk/ Hip Hop. Mostly playing the radio music consisting of Chaka Khan, Prince mixed in with some Rap and Electro. There'd be our resident DJ Bubba G Scotch who'd be spinning the latest breaks and sometimes offer up the mic for some open mic battle. He'd then play some of these performances on his radio show (KUBO FM). Below is an excerpt of some of those shows:
Years later and after some of my musical tastes had broadened a bit, I came discover that some of those 'punk rock' weekday shows that we hated so much, actually featured some luminaries. To think that for a meager $5, some of these legendary bands could have been witnessed!
