One of my alltime Favourites. On the first Inner City Album "Paradise" (1989) was also the other Smash-Hit "Good Life", and some other great Dance Tracks.

Four Random Picks from my 80s Collection

Yello - Desire (Extended) 1985

Two Of Us - Blue Night Shadow (1985)

Tony Esposito - Calimba de Luna (1984)

Oliver Cheatham - Get Down Saturday Night (1983)

 

beware : strings !
1981

 

This is one of those songs which still sounds fresh regardless of the time that has passed since its release. one of the few downtempo songs that always found a spot in my HI NRG club sets.

 

Empress.. Found it! Yet another one I had on cassette that I didn't know the name of.
1981, mixed by Francois Kevorkian, written by members of the Crown Heights affair, bass played by the great Sandy Anderson. First, set your level to 11, put your dancing shoes on. Then hit play..

If someone has it in good quality, preferably the 8 minute 12", please!

 

Edwin Birdsong, keyboard player and producer
Various collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Roy Ayers, he was lightyears ahead

Edwin Birdsong - Rapper Dapper Snapper (1980)

It is impossible for me to listen to this song in the car: it happens that I get sucked into the vibe and I can risk the accident..
Mr Birdsong is no longer with us today, but still his music continues to play for the new generations: the backbone of "Stronger faster" by Daft Punk is one of his songs.

This:

Edwin Birdsong - Cola Bottle Baby (1979)

 

Prelude Records: you can’t go wrong with that label
The legend tells that Kevorkian had his own recording studio inside the Studio 54 building and captured its essence for the productions

We are now connecting live with @The Pirate who will tell us more details about the story
All this and more ...after the break: stay with us

 

I have the 6,24min Version as 320kbs mp3.

 

Thanks a lot Flex, Recycle just sent them!

 

When searching I found this 7 hour (!) long 'radioshow' by Francois where he plays his greatest Prelude tracks,
and tells stories about them. Lol, he doesn't show to be the greatest beatmixer, his mixing was of a different kind..

 

FK did not start as a DJ. He was a drummer who became a DJ after successfully remixing records for Prelude. Indeed, FK did not even care about beat-mixing. He was inspired by David Mancusso from The Loft who hated beat matching. Anyone that visited The Loft can tell you that there was not even a mixer. David played one record, letting it run out,and replacing it on the same turntable by the next one. FK opted for a similar approach at his "Body and Soul" parties on Sundays. There was no beat-mixing.

True as to the first part. The second part is pure BS. Dy the time FK opened his recording studio in 1988, Axis Studios, Studio 54 was history. Indeed, the "real" Studio 54 closed its doors in February of 1980. The second Studio 54 owned by mark Fleischman was sold in 1984 and closed its door in 1986.

 

At The End of the 80s and early 90s we got Hip House.

Beatmasters feat. Cookie Crew - Rock Da House (1987)

The Adventures Of Stevie V. - Dirty Cash (1989)

Mr.Lee - Get Busy (1989)

Double Trouble feat. Rebel MC - Street Tuff (1989)

Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam (1989)

Fax Yourself - Sunshine `89 (1989)

Tyree Cooper - Let The Music Take Control (1989)

Precious - Definition Of A Track (1989)

Jungle Brothers - I`ll House You (1988)

Fast Eddie - Hip House (Tyree`s Mix) 1989

Fast Eddie feat. Sundance - Git On Up (1989)

Hi Tek 3 feat. Yakid D- Spin That Wheel (1989)

This could belong to the 80's or played yesterday, no idea...
but it is irresistible!
