The 80's Groove Mastermiks Dance Party Volume 2

OK, so you get the idea then, I take a full measure of good quality 80's Groove, add a big pinch of cheesey 80's chart soul, stick it through my virtual 'blender' and end up with a 80's Groove 'Smoothie'

Don't worry about the 'lumpy bits' though, just swallow them, It's all good.... even when it's bad?

So here's Volume 2, more of the same. Not as smooth as Vol. 1 but more inspired at times. Check out New York Eyes, Trapped & Big Mouth (Tom Browne has not yet threatened legal action although one of his fans threatened physical violence).

Anybody wishing to hear the original tracks used in this mix, let me know and I'll dig them out.

The 80's Groove Mastermiks Dance Party

This is an 80's Soul & Dance mix that I made myself that you'll either love or hate.

As a DJ, I can't mix and I'm not about to pretend that I can however... I have Sound Forge! It also helps that this is an 80's Groove mix. Back in the day it wasn't about perfect seamless mixing, it was about being adventurous and different?

I lived in South London in the 80's and Pirate's ruled the airwaves. My favourite station featured the 'Mastermix Dance Party' hosted by a guy called Barry B. He wasn't the greatest mix DJ in the world but he sure as hell knew how to make a mix interesting. (I always suspected he used a studio to pre-record his mixes so maybe I'm not cheating?)

Please stick with the first track for the first listen (at least) coz it sets the scene for the mix. It's impossible to comprehend how important that song was back in the day, kinda like the Pussycat Dolls of 1986. Played everywhere by everyone for soooo long. Here, I've recreated the 'Good Groove' remix done by Derek B on LWR (probably in 1985).

So, here we go... ripped off from LWR 92.5 fm, in the mid 80's.
