Another mix that I’ve been meaning to do for a long time!  Over an hour of Electro (the original early 80s Electro, not the recent shite), some obvious and some not-so-obvious tunage.  

This was the stuff that I started off DJing back in 1984 using a pair of hifi decks and flicking between two channels on an amp and using a car fog light switch wired into the phono leads to scratch with!  Every Sunday night, we’d all pile down to the 180 club in Tyldesley on the bus to do breakdancing (badly) and check out all the latest music.  Happy days!

Thought to be lost forever, I discovered an actual high quality MA-XG TDK cassette I recorded from Omar's original Master Ampex Reel which was made in the early months of 1984, exactly 30 years ago today.  Multiple Editing was an integral part of 80's Dance Music and even though it was The Latin Rascals who made splicing tape popular in the early 80's, it was Omar Santana who took editing to another level which was never duplicated by anyone.  And this mix is the proof.

I spent most of my weekends in Omar's lab in Hollis, Queens in 1984 and we figured out the formula for tape moving at 15 inches per second X 120 BPM's = 7.5 inches per beat.  With this formula, splicing tape became an art, everything was in perfect time and kicks could be replaced by snares and repeated in machine gun fashion,

This is Electronic Dance Music being created in the beginning when technology was at it's birth.

I recorded digitally my entire StreetSounds Electro compilation series. I recorded my StreetSounds vinyls into Protools, with as much digital restorations as possible and widened stereo-field.  The genre Electro since the early 80′s was electric funk and hip-hop music, mainly for break-dancing, bee-bopping, and body-popping. In my opinion, the word & genre of “electro" today has been hijacked in the form of 4/4 dance music and not anywhere near its true roots.

The label Streetsounds was part of the UK Streetwave stable of labels created by Morgan Khan in 1981, specializing in releasing Electro and Hi-NRG releases. StreetSounds were series of compilation albums created from some of the hottest 12″ imports of the day. This series would run for over 6 years and contain over 50 albums. The most coveted of the Streetsounds releases were the Electro series. These albums introduced the UK to the developing hip-hop scene from America – a stroke of genius that brought electro and early hip hop from the underground to the UK high street which helped in the creation of the UK’s hip hop scene. The Electro series ran for a total of 27 albums (and one box set) from 1982 to 1988. The albums were initially labeled StreetSounds Electro, later changing to StreetSounds Hip Hop after release 12 in 1986.  All of the albums were competently mixed by the best remixers of the day – predominately from the UK. Headed by “Herbie The Mastermind” (aka Herbie Laidley) the team also featured Kiss FM radio DJ’s Dave VJ and Max LX who were also members of UK electro outfit Hard Rock Soul Movement, responsible for the massive “Double Def Fresh” release.

Back with another big fat electro and breakdance mix.  I did this last month, but have been stone deaf with a cold.  Anyway, I can hear again now, so here it is.

This time, we plough through a few different styles, from the dark and edgy early electro, to the old favourites from the Streetsounds Electro albums and ending with a few of the more mainstream tracks, hopefully something for everyone that lived through this much loved musical era.  As always, there are loads of edits and other stuff to try to keep it interesting.

This was the stuff that I started off DJing back in 1984 using a pair of hifi decks and flicking between two channels on an amp and using a car fog light switch wired into the phono leads to scratch with! Every Sunday night, we’d all pile down to the 180 club in Tyldesley on the bus to do breakdancing (badly) and check out all the latest music. Happy days!

As always, if you like the mix, please repost on here, share on social media, follow me or even leave a comment, thanks!
