The Soul & Dance Jukebox - 80s & 90s R&B & New Jack Swing

Cheap Shot by Absolute

Absolute – Cheap Shot

1 / 159

Our jukebox will take back to the finest soul, New Jack Swing, dance, R&B and Slow Jams from the 1980s and 1990s - videos shuffled fresh on every visit. At home, at work or on the move - over 150 quality tracks on rotation for you.

Every video streams from YouTube in its original form. They’re full performances, not chopped clips or lo-fi rips so you’re watching them as they first aired, from Soul Train-style choreography to the glossy, cinematic productions of the early 90s. The rotation mixes marquee names with deep-catalogue cuts most retrospectives skip, so a Mariah Carey or Bobby Brown classic sits alongside artists you won’t find curated together anywhere else.

New tracks join the rotation as the archive grows, and the running order reshuffles on every visit, so no two sessions play out the same way. Pause any time to linger on a track, skip ahead, or just let it run in the background while you work.

Frequently asked questions

How often does the rotation change?

New videos are added as the archive grows, and the shuffle resets on every visit, so returning regularly turns up tracks you haven’t seen before.

Is this a live stream or a fixed playlist?

It’s a shuffled video jukebox, not a live stream. Every entry is a full music video you can pause, skip, or replay at your own pace - there’s no schedule to catch.

Can I find a specific artist or song?
