Kalyanji & Anandji - Dance Music (1981)

Ken Adhitya - Ready (2010)

Samples the seminal Kano - I’m Ready (1980.) Pretty well balanced IMO and full of all the current tricks and sound manipulations one would expect from a 2010 production. Check out his other edits.

They’re all clustered together on this post because they’re obviously made using the same recipe. Most of the production team is the same.

Karen Diggs - Infatuation (1982) - and no, this is not an alternative version of Plastic Doll.

Barbara Norris - Strategy (1983)

Karen Diggs - Congratulations (1983)

The last one is my favourite from the lot, and unquestionably the most well known - what a catchy hook, everything’s in the name:

Barbara Norris - Heavy Hitter (1981)

Barbara Norris - Heavy Hitter (Remix Instrumental)

I’ve recently rediscovered this track from Newcleus from their LP Space is the Place

Newcleus - Teknology (1985)

No Spaced Out Disco Session this Friday on the webradio. Even hard workers like The Robot Scientists can take a break too.

But fear not: a musical retrospective of their first “Musica Da Batticuore” mixes will be scheduled instead. It starts at 8pm UTC  and features the cosmic grooves of volume 1 through 6, which means it will be a whole night dedicated to the electronic sound of the duo. Non stop.

Have a nice new year’s eve!

Fri. Jan. 1, 20:00 UTC - Webradio special programme : Musica Da Batticuore Retrospective - Volume 1 To 6.

The Hasbeens - You And Me (2009)

New release from the dutch electro disco stars Alden Tyrell & DJ Overdose for the Clone West Coast Series in october 2009. Kinda insane, nasty and very efficient !

Stupid trivia: the counting voice one can hear in the song actually indicates the pattern index (bar number) from the music score sequence.

Chaz Jankel - 3,000,000 Synths (1981)

Novamen - Bubblegum (2001) Dutch electro

Novamen - Bubblegum

I’ve been trying to identify this 1984 track of the classic break dance era for over 20 yrs or so, until I came across it somewhere on the web. Rare, but surprisingly was still available on eBay.

Gunsmoke breakout of Jive records company is definitely one of my favorite Electro.

Willesden Dodgers - Gunsmoke breakout (mix 1)

Willesden Dodgers - Breakin’ out (mix 1)

This one appears to be the original version then remade one year later by Stacey Q. Thank you kundalini.

Sue Gatlin - Two of Hearts (1985)
