Introducing the Eighties Night NJ Blog

Let's face it, everybody loves the Eighties and its distinctive music, fashion and pop culture. To recapture the feeling, why not throw an 80s Night Dance Party?

DJ Jagged and his staff of merrymakers at Ambient DJ Service spent their formative years immersed in the Eighties. Our record crates are overflowing with the biggest hits of the decade, as well as rarities, remixes and one hit wonders. For a full multimedia 80s experience, let Ambient's Video Disc Jockeys spin larger than life performers such as Madonna or Rick Astley on our monster screens!

Your hot 80s dance party can feature music, music videos, movie clips, 80s trivia, arcade classics and contests. Why not invite your guests to dress up in 80s fashion and present a prize to the best-dressed?

We can also help you in decorating your authentic Eighties dance party. From giant Rubik's Cubes to Pac-Man decor, Ambient DJ has you covered!

One of our most popular party concepts is the Miami Vice 80s Dance Party. In the DJ booth, you will find the tag team duo of Crockett and Tubbs, parts played by characters such as DJ Jagged, DJ Iron Mike, DJ Spinz, DJ Greg Nice and DJ Emm Bangkok.
