The break of breaks and much more

I feel so bad posting hits, but I can't prevent doing it and there might be someone who never heard this before, really? So when John "Jellybean" Benitez, John Rocca and Arthur Baker got together to create this hit of hits it sure was a milestone in the history of dance music - This is some serious shit !


Freeez - I.O.U. 1982

Barrack Osama ?

In 1984 when the rouge president's dad was vice president and during a time when the USA were far away from excepting even a black presidential candidate, the band Martha and the Muffins changed their name to M&M and recorded the hit Black Stations/White Stations. It nearly made #1 on the American Billboard's Dance Chart only hold of from Prince's When Doves Cry. It didn't change much at the time but the songs stays timeless.

The Catch 1983

I just got back from a warming start to this winter in the south of Europe: Andalucia & Marokko. The north african country still is one of my favourite holiday destinations as it offers great history, people, culture and in addition to comfortable climate, a divers nature and cheap hascheesh. Could easily apply for EU if you ask me?

Well just another of my 1983 greaties as I am having power supply troubles. Well done Apple


THE CATCH - 25 YEARS (SPECIAL DISCO VERSION)

Larry Levan

As promised more of this legendary figure in the history of dance music. A superb unreleased lenghtend mix of `Hall & Oates - Maneater` an already perfect and much beloved evergreen gets the maestro`s retouch - done late in his career. Plus a scantily early ninetees London Kiss FM Interview hosted by the the pretentious and badly informed Radio Dj, Judge Jules. "Does he really ask about a belgium-hard-beat-house wave coming out of New York influencing Larry at the time"?
Well, to hear this influential and inspiring guest talk and his sweet selection is worth enough a listen.
"Only Classics survive the modes of time."

Midnight Star - No Parking On The Dancefloor 1983

One of my forevermore party classics with this inescapable groove that still gets the biggest disco hater and dancemuffel moving. Released on the bands peak in 1983 when the founders and brothers Reginald and Vincent Calloway were still in control - also worth checking out is their track Operator. Being dissed by my friends in the mid ninetees Hip Hop times (when I first found out about this song) it stands for my revolutionary style battle with my coeval fellowmen. But I know now why I loved and still love a lot of music from exactly that time is cause they called it R&B. What the FUCK happened to this genre?

The Romantics - Talking In Your Sleep 1983

Another one in the line of first-rate classics. This 12" pressing is so loud, powerful
and rife with soul that anyone who calls this track from The Romantics just a one hit wonder
should be subducted their right of speech. There are songs that can cure blues better than
love, success or any kind of short time satisfaction - Talking in your sleep is high up on my list for that purpose. I end up dancing and singing around the place everytime I put it on.

The Love Unlimited Orchestra - Things That Dreams Are Made Of 1982

Next to having commercial chart success in the early 80s The Human League has eternalised itself
in 1982 through being the first group/artist to release a complete remix lp in pop history.
Released under the name The League Unlimited Orchestra, Love And Dancing contained instrumental versions of
previously released HL songs put togehter by Martin Rushent their producer at the time.
This is the piece to know - knowing it will have you sensitised of well this can be placed in a contemporary party set.

Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster

Achtung Hit !
The Best ever recorded Wonder Track and musically as well as textual still the greatest homage to Bobby Marley who spend quite some time that year being on tour with Stevie.
Its one of those songs you can listen to over and over again and I assure You not to get bored until the end of Your fantastic life.


He can do anything if you show him where.
