A relic from the 80’s that just keeps on doing its thing. It has such a distinct sound and I guess a few genres of music would not have happened without it. I can safely assume that everyone has heard the sound at least once. It has been mentioned in many songs (but possibly not as much as the mpc and sp1200). I’ve been thinking about doing a retrospective for a while. So the next few episodes will be loosely based around this theme. Feel free to suggest tracks that you think should be included or even come up with your own mix. Not specifically playing one style I will be including a bit of Miami bass, Techno bass, 80’s Electro, booty bass / ghetto tech, Detroit, along with some other random stuff….actually fuck it…you get the picture… just lots of dope records! Especially a couple of my favourites electro. Such a misused term can cause confusion. Some people use the term to refer to all electronic music or to the new “electro house” or “new rave”. No we aren’t referring to that definition of electro. I’m talking about performers in the 80’s that rapped about space and mars over a fast jerky futuristic beat and some of the music that followed that was directly influenced by that period. Some of it cheezy, some dark and speculative all fun! So if your into the new “electro” take a little time to soak in something different. Suffice to say the trusty drum machine is still in the family. playlist 1 january febuary march - Nite blues steel band 2 problems (instrumental) - As one 3 nothing time - Susumu yokota 4 decades of silicon?? - Urban tribe - mowax 5 Stop the Mechanism - John Tejada - Daydreams in Cold Weather 6 Enrico - Isolée - Wearemonster 7 electro boogie - Mfenducci - mediocre solo efforts 8 Japanese Elecktronics - Elecktroids - Elektroworld 9 Supersonic - JJ FAD 10 Siberian Nights (ultimix) - Egyptian Lover (f.Electric Kingdom) 11 123456 bass - Beat dominator 12 Twilight 22- Electric Kingdom 13 Thrown Down - Scratch-D (Dynamix II) feat.
