Tha Non-80s Mixtape!

Welcome back!  This is a 40+ minute mix I crafted using primitive computer software.  The concept for this mix was to create an 80s mix sans songs that were actually produced in the 80s:

1. Jaimie Fanatic & Party Squad - Krush Groove
2. Justin Timberlake - Sexy Ladies
3. M.I.A. - Paper Planes (DFA Remix)
4. Snoop Dogg - Sexual Eruption
5. Kelis ft. Too Short - Bossy (Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Remix)
6. Michael Gray - Borderline (Neon Wave Vocal Mix)
7. Tiga - You Gonna Want Me
8. DJ Mehdi ft. Chromeo - I Am Somebody
9. Eric Prydz - Voices (Steve Angello Remix)
10. Eric Prydz - Call On Me 
11. Hollertronix - The Almighty Unruly Simon Joint
12. Kanye West ft. Dwele - Flashing Lights (Diplo Remix)
13. Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Remix)
14. Gwen Stefani - Crash

True, it has Call On Me, but it also has the Diplo Remix of Flashing Lights, not to mention two, yes two Alan Braxe and Fred Falke Rerubs.  Did you know that they are officially no longer working together?  That means that those two tracks are practically history. Practically 80s.

Tha Non-80s Mixtape

Rocker

A song with alot of bells and whistles. And other noises. If you like organized noise for the sake of organized noise, then you should try groups like Blackstrobe, Alter Ego, Para One, Surkin, and Boys Noize (surely you wouldn't have guessed by their name).

My comments on 'Rocker.'

Alter Ego. “Rocker.” Rocker LP. Klang Elektronik, 2004.

Push Me.

Don't act like you don't know this one. It's still, production-wise, a marvel. If you put on your DJ ears, can hear what I'm talking about in my...

commentary on 'Satisfaction'.

Benny Benassi. “Satisfaction (Isak Original).” Satisfaction LP. ZYX, 2003.

Enjoy the Silence

Mike Shinoda did a good job of reinterpreting Enjoy the Silence. Although he made more rock-oriented, it still rests in its electronic roots.

My thought's on Enjoy the Silence (2004).


Depeche Mode. “Enjoy The Silence (Reinterpreted by Mike Shinoda).” Enjoy The Silence-04. Mute, 2004.

Drop the Pressure

It's crazy how a song so simple can take a man from the middle of nowhere so far.

Drop the Pressure.

Mylo. “Drop The Pressure.” Destroy Rock & Roll. Breastfed, 2005.

Forgot those Credits!

Eric Prydz. “Call On Me (Radio Edit).” Call On Me LP. Spinnin’, 2004.

-PrimeTime

Call On Me

The ultimate ode to Steve Winwood and the 80's, the track that made Erik Prydz a (semi) household name, and let us not forget the video.

Here are my comments on Call On Me.
