I.M.S. - Runaway such an italo jamais. didn't expect it to be played in NYC during the 80s

Roy Thode recorded Live January 21, 1979. This performance from NYC’s Ice Palace 57 is an excellent example of when Roy was ultra-playful in his musical presentation. He always had an element of technical expertise, even on his worst nights behind the turntables however on these nights, for whatever the source of the inspiration, his mixing was over-the-top. We hope you enjoy this sampling of some of the extraordinary elements of Roy’s mixing talents.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today it’s a huge honor to be able to share yet another special moment in dancefloor history eternalized by this recording from Roy Thode’s archive, all made possible thanks to his dear friend, Marsha Stern.
Recorded at the Underground on February 14th, 1981, this mix has been stored for just over 4 decades, to think that a spool of microscopic magnetized metal particles will give us the opportunity to re-experience what Roy Thode brought to the floor that night years before many of us were even born is goosebump inducing for us to say the least. At this point there should be no introduction needed to explain the virtuosity of this dancefloor maestro. Roy was a true Disc Jockey in essence, this is what he did, and his unique love for the craft can be heard loud and clear. Undoubtedly one of our biggest inspirations to us as DJs today.
We hope this mix takes you to a very special place because it surely came from one as Roy had self-titled this night “Music From My Heart”.
Let us all be Roy’s Valentine today - Love ❤️

Music From My Heart - Broadcast file

DJ Roy Thode Valentine's Mix - Music From My Heart - The Underground, NYC, 14 Feb, 1981

...uploaded with kind permission of Chuck Parsons. 15 unbeliveable hours of the greatest music New York's hottest gay club of the 1980s had to offer. Including live performance of an enthusiastic France Joli - still only 20 years old back then!

Chuck Parsons - originally from Baltimore - stormed the Saint in 1983, playing almost all of the big parties. His style was progressive and modern, yet not forgetting the Funk - seasoned with perfect transitions. It became eponymous for "The Saint's" classic period when it defined Dance Music worldwide. His contribution to the development of modern Club Music and DJing is still seriously undervalued. 

=> to anyone making any copyright claims on this one, please contact me. Again, Chuck Parsons personally gave me permission to upload this, I hope this is sufficient for giving everyone the chance to enjoy his great music and the great legacy of "The Saint"!

Chuck Parsons - NYE 1983 at The Saint - part 3

...uploaded with kind permission of Chuck Parsons. 15 unbeliveable hours of the greatest music New York's legendary gay club had to offer. With an euphoric live performance of France Joli, who was still only 20 years old back then but a Disco Veteran already.

In 1983 Baltimore's Chuck Parsons took "The Saint" by storm with his eclectic, modern track selection and his smooth mixing style. In fact he played most of the big parties that year. Parsons became eponymous for the classic period of "The Saint", when the venue and its DJs shaped Dance Music globally. His influence on today's DJing and mordern club music is still totally undervalued!
