Nostalgic 80's Vol. 4

I listened to a podcast this week that featured Tara Kemp - an artist who had two major pop soul hits in the early 90s. Then, a product of industry politics, her mainstream career ended as quickly as it started. I always liked her song 'Hold You Tight' so I decided to mix it. Samples include: bass from Nu Shooz 'I Can't Wait', snare from Cathy Dennis' 'You Lied to Me', some vibes from Barbara Tucker 'Beautiful People' and Lisa Stansfield's 'Change'.

Tara Kemp - Hold You Tight (MattB217 Remix)

This week's substack is all about "Living In America" by James Brown and Brown's vast influence on the development of dance music.

The 1985 Dan Hartman production of "Living In America" draws heavily from the sound he crafted on his 1984 solo album I Can Dream About You, featuring hits like "We Are The Young" and "Second Nature." It’s a vibrant fusion of the era’s dominant synth-funk, laced with hints of the emerging Latin hip-hop and electro sounds that would define the late '80s. The track seamlessly blends these influences, with the first half incorporating Latin hip-hop rhythms and the second half diving deep into the funk groove.

Welcome to my music world! I've been spinning tracks since I was 13, and my journey has been a wild ride. I cut my teeth on the iconic sounds of the 70s and 80s, but it was the house music explosion of the 90s that truly blew my mind. Influenced by legends like Depeche Mode, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, and Madonna, I developed a passion for beats that never fades.

Growing up, I drew inspiration from the likes of Bad Boy Bill, Richard Vission, DJ Irene, and DJ Enrie - pioneers who shaped my style and fueled my dream of becoming a DJ. Today, I'm proud to be a versatile artist, spinning all genres with a heart that beats for the music.

For me, music is more than just a hobby - it's my escape, my therapy, and my happy place. I'm thrilled to share my love with you, so let's get lost in the rhythm together!
