On this episode of PopOff! I celebrate the 30th anniversary of the very local and very iconic SF roaming dance party New Wave City and the DJs who make it all happen. It will be 30 songs by 30 acts that I think make this the New Wave Citiest set ever! Consider this is a NWC greatest hits primer of the acts whose music filled the floors over 30 years. That said this set would not have been possible without the education I was given by my new wave senseis, NWC founders DJ Skip & DJ Shindog. And both of them have curated their own 30 song sets for the occasion and I have linked them below so you can hear from the masters and get a deeper dive into the sounds and vibes of New Wave City over 30 years.
