I'd heard of "STUDIO 54" - who hasn't? Bianca Jagger riding a white horse through the dancefloor while Andy W sucked off Lou in the VIP room?

but STUDIO 57?

I bought this dubbel LP for 10p from the legendary YANKS Mafia cutout tax fiddle emporium in Manchester decades ago

no one I knew liked it even though the snares hit hard and the cowbell presets clang

I feel like HI-NRG is a forgotten genre that has been written out of history even though it contributed to the PROTO 'NUUM, but that's probably the fault of Sinitta ( I'm not even going to explain that )



BOBBY O - I'M SO HOT FOR YOU

for some reason I dug this dubbel LP off the shelves tonight and suddenly according to the YouTube comments it appears this is a hit with the kids due to something called ERIC on NETFLIX

View attachment 20222

am I validated / vindicated decades later?

I have no idea what ERIC is - is it worth a watch?

but I'm getting strong ripping off the league unlimited orchestra vibes...



LEAGUE UNLIMITED ORCHESTRA - DON'T YOU WANT ME

AND... now I'm listening to the LEAGUE UNLIMITED ORCHESTRA LP in its entirety

AND

THIS MIGHT BE MY REAL TUNE OF THE DAY!



DO OR DIE!

fucking huge! drum machines with "latin" presets fed through digital delays! psycho panning! reverb! one finger runs on out of tune synths! off key female vocals! everything I love!

I used to trip so hard to the LEAGUE UNLIMITED ORCHESTRA LP, I'm not sure it has gained the LEGENDARY status it is entitled to, it was so far ahead of its time! THIS WAS THE BIRTH OF "REMIX" CULTURE IN THE UK! #ACID_DREAMS. yawn did I ever mention about my mate's dad having a freezer full of confiscated Operation Julie microdots yawn he runs a fish and chip shop now true stories

in the early 1980s Thatcher era Britain there was a media driven phenomenon known as VIDEO NASTIES and one of the films we were not allowed to see was Nightmares in a Damaged Brain but I have saved you the trouble of watching it by just posting random thoughts on early 80s cutting edge electronic dance music

cheekily dubbed out ‘things that dreams…’ also kills much

Martin Rushent indulging himself in the studio basically, brilliant audacities of early 80s uk pop

pairs nicely with Imagination ‘Night Dubbing’ remix album, another longtime bargain bin great, which inc this fine Larry Levan mix:

I've haven't ever been in such a state as I have been in the last couple of months.
I can't concentrate on anything that I actually should be doing including normal day-to-day life stuff, or even the smallest amount of taking care of myself.
I'm also living with my parents now and one of them is a drunk, and the other is a zombie.
I can't even bother to open records I get in the mail...

^ I chainsmoked through multiple packs of cigarettes listening to that on repeat last night.
I feel completely paralyzed.

fun fact: Silence of the Lambs was released on Valentine's Day in February 1991.
I've got a story about going to see that with my girlfriend that could maybe even make @IdleRich blush.
