[Bang Diddley]

whow . . i was brought up on this stuff. check any of the mastercuts 80's groove comps for a taster.

loads of memories of partying in the warehouse, nightmares on wax sessions at the phono and coconut grove in leeds, all dayers at rock city nottingham, legends manchester with greg wilson. happy days.

im at work so cant get into it too much, but here's some a couple

Thelma Houston


SOS Band


Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis productions

Loose Ends

Aside - Oh check this too, UK electro track whic used to mad up the dancefloor


I think 80 electro groove was one of the reasons why the North was so open minded to early techno and house (pre acid) which started to creep into the clubs around 86. then 'the great divide' happened.

[noel emits]

Is this too pop, too white, not electro enough? Whatever.

Nu Shooz - I Can't Wait

[noel emits]

Aside - Oh check this too, UK electro track whic used to mad up the dancefloor

That's really good. Wow, my memory for this stuff could really do with being better.
