a few ‘awesome’ 80ies favourites

time and again i catch myself playing a few of my 80ies favourites, that just go so well with cheesy high school movies and long haired dudes, that do awesome things in epic 80ies movies, and that spirit transfers right to the dancefloor. a few random tunes that do not need a remix or anything else, they just go great in any mix, especially if you are in the middle of playing brand spanking new music with a cutting edge feel, this just evens the geekiness out and gives it a funny contrast.

the djs (the ones that put on a show) know what i am talking about

The Knack – My Sharona

And thats the right tshirt to wear when listening to these type of tunes / when dancing of your frustration because your parents just dont understand you / when you are polishing your Trans Am Firebird /  and when you have to fight the school bully in order to a) win the heart of your sweethert or b) travel back to the future

Higher & Higher – Jackie Wilson (YUM YUM edit)

Your Love keeps lifting me higher & higher. Summers back, and while being in the mood for some sunny music i came across this Jackie Wilson classic, so i did this little re-edit this morning. will surely play it out the next time i hit the tables, but this weekend we all djs here at chromemusic have off, so have fun with this track and its summery, positive vibes, especially if your gf is called mary jane. Too bad stuff like this is not being played on the radio anymore these days. …hmm, not really, who cares about radio anyway? And thats exactly the reason why

Stop Me – Chocomang (The Smiths vs the Rootical record Crew mashup)

One of the few bearable Mashup tunes these days.. naw i’m kidding there are still brilliant ones out there, as long as they don’t use the same old same old overheard Jacko, Daft Punk etc . This is one of these tunes that sound so elegantly perfect that you do not even recognize it as a mashup. We all remember “the song” it from 4 years back when Mark Ronsons Smith meets Motown cover version of ‘Stop Me’ went to the top of the charts. Here is the original Smiths vocal from the 80ies mixed in a Roots manner. Enjoy
