We have got to get together & tune into Neon Nights for our “Madonna (The Luckiest Star)” special. Hosted by John von Ahlen / Parralox & Costa Lakoumentas , we pay tribute to Madonna’s early recordings from her first two album & shedding light on the profound influence of New York City’s vibrant music scene. The show explored how the energy and grit of 1980s NYC shaped Madonna’s sound, blending underground dance beats, disco grooves, and edgy pop sensibilities. These are the beginnings of Madonna’s meteoric rise, offering a rare glimpse into the artistry and determination that fueled her journey from the clubs of Manhattan to global superstardom. As always, with insightful (& sometimes scathing) commentary but always with a perfectly curated selection of her early remixed hits, this special is a nostalgic nod back to the era that birthed the Queen of Pop and revolutionized dance music forever.
