binar - 80s classic vinyl house mixtape 150922
I've seen a fair bit of online chatter of late - about how Drake and Beyoncé have discovered House music - so I thought I would put this together for a bit of 'old skool' context.
Ever since 1986, as a 17 year old - I came across an article in The Face magazine about some DJs in Chicago - and how they used bits of other people's records to make new ones in a 4:4 disco style - but beefed up with 808 and 909 drum machines - I was totally hooked on the whole concept.
When I found the 'House Sound of Chicago' compilation album, put the needle on and heard 'Love Can't Turn Around' for the first time - wow, this is huge I thought. I then bought all these tunes over the next 3-4 years, all before my 21st birthday.
People say 'House is a feeling' - it's a whole way of life.
These tracks for me were part of the birth of rave culture in the UK - dance music in the 80's really was something special, and I consider myself extremely privileged to have been able to buy/mix all these tunes - and hear them at raves and clubs in the late 80s.
To all the older heads that lived through it all and know most/all of these - to the relative youngsters that are bossing it across all genres of dance music now - I hope you all find something to enjoy here.
The 'acid section' starts at 3:03 (hours and mins) lolz...
Those with decent listening gear - which sounds 'best produced' to you? That's the sound you're going to emulate.
Please DL - and share with your mates.
