Mix Time: Unacceptable in the 80s
16 09 2007
After an abortive attempt at an 80s mix early in the summer (quality control refused to allow me post it), I decided to have another go. Instead of using actual tracks from the 80s, I used remixes or tracks that sample 80s stuff instead. Much easier to mix and hopefully much funkier to dance to.
I still wish I could have got ZZ Top’s Legs in there though. I <3 that track.

I (heart) Simmons drums!
i cant wait to try this one at the gym tomorrow at 6am
although i kinda liked the futile attempt earlier this summer, but it has to be said that the quality was not up to par of earlier works
It’s downloading, expect a proper reply in 5 to 10 minutes or more…. hard to say…..
We all heart Simmons drums!
Poor Orn was the beta tester for my first attempt at an 80s mix. Poor boy! (You were in a gym at 6am? Why? Do you work there?)
Manuel, I’m looking forward to your feedback (but you can’t send it back…).
yes, i was the beta tester and no permanent damage there..i hope
6am is the only time i can bother to be there, and no i dont work there, im a proper worker at a bank
Great mix. Good stuff. i didn’y know you were into this kind of thing. I am going to watch your blog now ! Cheers, Ernst
Thanks Ernst!
I wish I could have sandwiched some Scritti in there too
