Sanny X - Electro '84 Megamix

Jesus, this takes me back.

When I was a nipper, my mates dad was a DJ. On saturdays I'd go up to his gaff and if his dad wasnt there, wed go into the front room where his 1200s and his old GLI were set up, along with tonnes of plastic.

So, whenever he was out we'd carefully record the D.M.C. subscription vinyl that would arrive in his door every month, trying not to leave fingerprints on the turntables...he would have killed us if he thought we were touching his stuff. And, it being 1984, none of this stuff was ever heard in the club he played in.

This mix by Swedish pioneer Sanny X was probably my favourite, and really introduced me to the concept of DJ'ing more than anything I'd ever heard. The blend between 'White Lines' and 'Breakdance Party' was a revelation then, and still gets my admiration every time. Genius.
