For this episode, I wanted to pull together music that was separate
(stupid racism) at the time of their airplay in the 80s. My hope is to show how
the music - no matter White, Black, or Latino - were actually quite similar in
their search for outer-worldly escapist vibes… Clean funky synths mixed up with
drum machines and vocodoers to make the music as plastic and out there as
possible. Much of it was still playing with pop styles, which made it quite
digestible and danceable. As you see, I stuck mostly on the NYC Downtown Electro/New
Wave/Hip Hop vibe, so my dream is Jean-Michel Basquiat would groove to this! Enjoy and check the soundcloud player for download or stream!
