****FLASHBACK FRIDAY****

Talk Talk

“It’s My Life”

This is one of those Pandora/Sirius radio jams that pop up during an 80’s mix that your like oh damn…this is rad.  It’s a bona fide roller skating jam.

Rising from the English new romantic/synthpop scene of the early 80’s, Talk Talk scored two big singles in 1984 with their second LP It’s My Life.  The title cut was Talk Talk’s most successful US single reaching number one on the Hot Dance Play charts…it’s still pretty slick.

No Doubt did a cover of “It’s My Life” for their greatest hits in 2003…it also does not suck.

*****FLASHBACK FRIDAY*****

Company B

“Fascinated”

Emerging out of NYC Latino neighborhoods in the early 80’s, freestyle music rode the wave of breakdancing and hip hop to solidify itself as electronic music force.  

Commonly remembered as roller skating music, freestyle combined syncopated percussion and electronic elements to create rhythms that could be danced to fast or slow.

Freestyle quickly spread and soon Miami was an epicenter of the movement, Company B’s classic “Fascinated” is a great example of Miami freestyle.

Wann hear more?  Come hang out at Duck Duck in Brooklyn tomorrow night as I spin some NYC freestyle and my homeboy Microphone Mike drops that Miami sound.  Roller jams all night.
