Wikipedia: "Hip house, also known as house rap, is a musical genre that mixes elements of house music and hip-hop. The style rose to prominence during the 1980s in New York and Chicago."

All I can say is 1989 had some of the best house beats in the form of HIP HOUSE. The pure energy that was laid into the grooves and the vocals is incredible.

This mix showcases some of the best House tracks of the time. There is enough raw beats here to set you straight.

Please leave a comment if you like this mix.

"WAY BACK WHEN" - A Breaks Retrospective

Breaks and Electro goodness from the 80's and a few lesser known gems from the early 90's.

Let's go way back to when the music was new and paved the way for generations to come.

This is my latest show called "Pulse" from 90hz.org.

I started it with some classic X-Press2 on Junior Boys Own.

From there I did some bin diving and came up with a tasty show for you. More HOUSE for your listening enjoyment.

Dont forget to check out my other mixes. They are bangin' also!

CD 3:

Wow, a marathon set. It was fun! 3 hours seemed like an hour.

Looking back on this set I realize how important Disco has been to the "dance" music scene. It created the foundation for electronic music - especially early rap, which used much of Disco in its samples, garage and of course house.

Sure there are some really cheesy disco tracks and I am glad some of those got burned in stadiums years ago (lol), but where would we be today of disco never happened?

Still today there are a ton of tracks coming out that "borrow" from yesteryear. You can find disco samples all over the place.... and you know what? I don't ever seemed to get bored of it.
