LOLLIPOP UNWRAPPED

Before drum machines, before MIDI, and before samplers there were beautiful records created by talented musicians.  During the period of ’78-’79, the foundation for the soon to emerge Hi-NRG, Boogie & House genres were being laid.  Lollipop’s Roller Disco Armageddon is a musical snapshot of this period - taken just barely before “cool” became cliché.  This mix perfectly captures the glossy, last gasps of a genre soon decimated by commercialization.Of course, no official roller disco soundtrack would be complete without soaring, symphonic strings, scratchy guitar, plucky bass and sexy, growling horns.  The unique experience of the amplified disco sound in the roller rink is also accurately re-created with the assistance of a custom-programmed acoustic reverb mirror.  This podcast mix faithfully highlights songs that packed the skating rink floor and raised the energy level through the roof.  With an incredible playlist mostly exiled from pop-disco radio programs, many of these “one hit wonders” and the rare 12 inch versions had to be lovingly transferred from my personal vinyl collection to authentically recreate a magical Saturday night at the legendary Hub Axle Roller Rink.I know you’ll enjoy this mix.  For some of you, it’ll bring back heart-warming memories and for those who missed it, here is your contextually-correct opportunity to experience it for the first time.  Lace 'em up tight – it’s an “All Skate Armageddon!”LOLLIPOP’S ROLLER DISCO ARMAGEDDONHub Axle Roller Rink IntroTuxedo Junction - Chattanooga Choo ChooBryan Adams - Let Me Take You DancingPeaches & Herb - Roller-Skatin' MateIsaac Hayes - Don't Let GoLipps, Inc. - Rock ItCheryl Lynn - Star LoveAmii Stewart - Knock On WoodLeon Heywood - Don't Push It Don't Force ItThe Brothers Johnson - StompThe Spinners - Working My Way Back To YouDan Hartman - VertigoDan Hartman ft Loleatta Holloway - Relight My FireDebbie Jacobs - High On Your LoveDeniece Williams - I've Got the Next DanceDon Ray - Got To Have LoveBonnie Pointer - I Can't Help MyselfBonnie Pointer - Heaven Must Have Sent YouVoyage - From East To WestMichael Jackson - Working Day And NightDebbie Jacobs - Hot Hot (Give It All You Got)Front Page ft Sharon Redd - Love InsuranceLa Flavour - MandolayEvelyn Champagne King - ShameThe Isley Brothers - It's A Disco NightEdwin Starr - H.A.P.P.Y.

DJ LOLLIPOP (American DJ & Producer):"Wow!!! I can't believe how many years have gone by since this landmark medley was created.  This was the second vinyl bootleg that I released.  It was released in January 1983.At the time, I was spinning in Chicago at three different clubs… a straight hipster club, an elite gay club and an urban downtown club.  I loved it!  Each club had it’s own format/hits and very few tunes crossed over.  I loved playing down-tempo funk and R&B at a huge straight/urban club on Michigan Ave, pop and disco at an intimate straight/white club on Division Street and high energy and new wave at a chic, trendy gay club on Oak Street. Back in the early 80's, the nightclubs in Chicago did not cater to mixed groups of clientele yet… but the music did start to bring diverse groups of people together.  Some tunes would cross-over from one crowd to another like The Message by Grandmaster Flash which I played for months in the black club before it crossed over to white clubs, or Native Love by Divine which was a smash at the gay club before it crossed over to the straight clubs. In hindsight, the black clubs and gay clubs helped make songs pop crossovers.  I kept this in mind when arranging the song order.I tried something new in this production – I used every dance hit that came out in 1982 –every single one of them. Black, white, straight, gay – any tune that made a crowd dance – regardless of it’s makeup, was included.  This led to some very eclectic (and surprisingly fun) song transitions.  Like the 1981 & 1987 medleys, this was all done with a pair of Technics 1200’s, a TEAC two track recorder, a razor blade and miles and miles of magnetic recording tape. When originally released on vinyl, the medley was broken up into two sections for a twelve inch record “A” and “B” side.  Here they have been edited together for your non- stop enjoyment.  Many of the songs in this production still pack a dance floor today – while others have faded almost into oblivion.  It's a good thing they are represented here and their place in dance music history accounted for. I know you will love listening to this and I hope it bring back some great memories! For those of you too young to have experienced this in the clubs... too bad - it was an naive, adventurous, awesome time for music and probably the most memorable and magical time in my life."LOLLIPOP'S 1982 TOP TUNE MEDLEY (Side 1):Intro: Barb Walsh & Larry AndersenSexual Healing – Marvin GayeLet’s Go Dancing – Kool & The GangGenius Of Love – Tom Tom ClubThe Message – Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5Mirror Mirror – Diana RossThat Girl – Stevie WonderIllusion - ImaginationA Night To Remember – ShalamarMama Used To Say – JuniorI Can’t Go For That – Hall & OatesLoves Coming At Ya – Melba MooreDo I Do – Stevie WonderWalking On Sunshine – Rockers RevengeBody Slam – Bootsy CollinsDon’t Make Me Wait – Peech BoysTry Jah Love – Third WorldInside Out - OdysseyCircles – Atlantic StarrThis Beat Is Mine – Vicki DWork That Sucker To Death – XavierSo Fine – Howard JohnsonBoogie In Your Butt – Eddie MurphyIt’s Alright – Gino SoccioIn The Raw – WhispersShould've Been You – Gwen GuthrieCalling All Boys – The FlirtsSooner Or Later – Larry GrahamI’ll Do My Best For You Baby – Ritchie FamilyForget-Me-Nots – Patrice RushenI Specialize In Love – Sharon BrownKeep On – D TrainGlad To Know You – Chas JenkelIn The Name Of Love – Thompson TwinsSituation – YazooYou’re The One For Me – D TrainThanks To You – SinnamonThe Look Of Love – ABCLove Come Down – Evelyn KingDon’t You Want Me – Human LeagueMurphy’s Law – CheriCall Me – Skyy1999 – PrinceYou’ve Got The Power - WarCan’t Believe – Nancy MartinezLive It Up – Time BanditsTell Me That I’m Dreaming – Was (Not Was)Loopzilla – George ClintonDance Or Die – Sweet Pea AtkinsonShake It Up – Rick JamesFall Into A Trance – Jimmy RossEverybody – MadonnaKnock Me Out – Gary’s GangLove Is A Drug – Ronnie GriffithEarly In The Morning – Gap BandTime – StonePassion – The FlirtsDirty Talk – Klein & MBOFlame Thrower – J.

"This is it, look no further. This single is going to change the sound of club music for the next 15 years" - Brian Eno to David Bowie in 1977 after hearing "I Feel Love".Indeed, Eno was quick to recognize the ingenuity and potential of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", with its clinical, pulsating bass line, hypnotically vocal, and entirely synthesized rhythm that dispensed with the lush orchestral sound which, until then, had been an integral part of the disco sound.  History has proven that the slick, sequencer-driven recording produced by Giorgio Moroder & Pete Bellotte was a pioneering masterpiece of EDM that didn't just revolutionize disco, but change the blueprint for dance music forever.That one song with its thick beats, soaring synths, hypnotic rhythms and dreamy vocals is still the blueprint for electronic dance music (some 35 years later!)  Explore the music that is blurring lines between artist, DJ and producer with Volume 1 of Lollipop's EDM 2012.  See how far we've come.VOL1:  LOLLIPOP’S EDM MIXScissor Sisters - Only the Horses (Calvin Harris Mix)Tulisa - We Are Young (Alias Mix)Jason Derulo - Breathing (Mike Rizzo Mix) Paul Oakenfold ft J Hart - Surrender (Flesh & Bone Mix)Rihanna - Where Have You Been (Cosmic Dawn Mix)Morgan Page ft Nadia Ali - Carry Me (Original Mix)Rebecca Ferguson - Glitter and Gold (Fever Pitch Mix)Afrojack & Shermanology - Can't Stop Me (Afrojack Mix)Ferry Corsten ft Ben Hague - Ain't No Stoppin' (Original Mix)Inna - Endless (Snatt & Vix Mix)Katy Perry - Part Of Me (Freemasons Mix)Tiesto & Wolfgang Gartner ft Luciana - We Own the Night (Original Mix)Demi Lovato - Give Your Heart a Break (Alias Mix)Alexandra Burke ft Erick Morillo - Elephant (Original Mix)

School is in session... old skool that is.The legendary DJ Lollipop invites you to reminisce in the distinct sound of the Post-Disco era.If these joints are new to you, here are the original club jams that ushered in a new era - the DNA of hip-hop. If you know these artists, press play on Lollipop's Post-Disco Funk Explosion and fall in love with these favorite classic rare funk gems all over again.Post-Disco is the significant period in popular music history that followed the "death" of commercial disco during late 1970s. The anti-disco sentiment that proliferated at the time was partially due to the over-saturation and the big-business mainstreaming of disco. As a result of the "Disco Sucks" movement and the July 12th 1979 “Disco Demolition Night”, disco records & artists were rejected from airplay and their promotions dropped literally overnight. The face of pop radio changed following this backlash which social critics have described as “a bigoted, macho, attack on non-white and non-heterosexual cultures”. Top 40 radio stations avoided playing music by black artists in an effort to prevent their stations from being labeled with the dreaded "disco" tag.It was the dawn of a new decade and a sonically edited, more stripped-down sound was emerging as a reaction against what was seen as the over-indulgence of disco. Thanks in part to advances in technology, the over produced, melodically complicated "disco sound" was passé, and a simplified sound driven by synthesizers accompanied by rhythm guitar moved dance music toward ever splintering genres. This drift from the original disco sound has been labeled “Post-Disco”. In this music scene are the roots of dance music sub-genres that evolved into Italo-Disco, Boogie, Hi-NRG, Electro, New Wave and early Alternative.Funk music is sometimes overlooked and usually lumped with disco music. However, Funk has its own style, culture and was here before disco's birth. It was born in the mid-'60s by the legendary James Brown. Funk de-emphasizes melody and harmony and brings a strong rhythmic groove of electric bass and drums to the foreground. It usually is heavily syncopated with polyrhythmic rhythms, horn and percussive sections featuring rhythm guitar. Brown had the most outspoken voice in soul music and a groove that would prove to be the future of Funk music.Many of James Brown’s band members such as Bootsy Collins would go on to funk with many other bands like Parliament and Funkadelic which were both created and lead by George Clinton. Parliament had emphasis on horns while Funkadelic had emphasis on psychedelic guitars. Both had a deep, rhythm filled groove that had elements of several genres of music all rolled into one. Clinton had successfully fused together these types of music to create what he called “P-Funk”. The success of Parliament’s "Flashlight" would greatly influence not only funk music, but also New Wave and Hip-Hop.Lollipop’s Post-Disco Funk Explosion celebrates this exact time in musical history when horn sections were replaced by synthesizers and the horns that remained were given simplified arrangements. The classic keyboards of funk, like the Hammond B3 organ and Fender Rhodes piano began to be replaced by new analog synthesizers like the MiniMoog and Yamaha DX7.Join Lollipop and the legions of counterculture groove disciples in enjoying this sonic slice of historic funk cake. In the Post–Disco era between 1979 and 1981, bands that began during the P-Funk era incorporated technological developments to continue to craft funk hits. The magical formula of classic funk guitar and rhythmic horn hits combined with thumping synthesized bass lines became a club phenomenon. Groups such as Cameo, Zapp, Lakeside, The Gap Band, the Bar-Kays, all found their biggest hits during this period, but as styles evolved, funk had lost its commercial impact by the latter half of the 1980’s. This time period witnessed many jazz funk artists like Tom Browne, Lenny White, Don Blackman (Twennynine) and Harvey Mason dip their toes into the post-disco funk pool to create their most successful hits.To quote George Clinton – “Free your mind and your ass will follow.”LOLLIPOP’S POST-DISCO FUNK EXPLOSIONDJ Lollipop IntroZapp - More Bounce to the OunceCameo - Keep It HotYarbrough & Peoples - Don't Stop the MusicThe Bar-Kays - Move Your Boogie BodyVaughn Mason & Crew - Bounce Rock Skate RollTom Browne - Funkin' For JamaicaOne Way ft Al Hudson - Pop ItRay Parker Jr. & Raydio - It's Your NightRaydio ft Ray Parker Jr. - For Those Who Like To GrooveLakeside - Fantastic VoyageGap Band - Burn Rubber on MeTwennynine ft Lenny White - Peanut ButterPrince - ControversyFrankie Smith - Double Dutch BusRick James - Give It to Me BabyHarvey Mason - Groovin' YouThe Jacksons - Can You Feel ItLatoya Jackson - If You Feel the FunkFunkadelic - One Nation Under a GrooveParliament - Flashlight

Seriously… the release of the lo-fi leader Andrew Sonics’ JAZZY CHILL CLASSICS is no less monumental than the release of any other landmark that sets the bar for a genre that others are compared to over time. It is simply brilliant. More than a collection of classic tunes – there is the positive mood and energy that is created when in its presence. Take note rookie DJ’s – exemplified here is the foundation art for programming music, the creation of an aural experience that bravely spans generations and genres in a way that is rarely experienced. It’s plain brilliant. These mixes provide an incredible soundtrack for your next dinner party, festive gathering or special celebration. The roots of this collection began as a substitute for an special event Andrew was unable to attend – but programming by any other DJ was unthinkable, thus the beginning of a project to entertain a wide age range of guests and create a one-of-a-kind ultimate cocktail music mix.

No matter what your political leanings are, the eyes of the world are focusing on the historic political changes in America and Inauguration celebrations mean pageantry, parties and stars everywhere.  In Washington D.C. alone, there will be no less than 58 Inauguration Day Balls, parties and events; ten of which will be attended by the president and first lady.  But "the premier event of inauguration evening," organizers say, will be the Neighborhood Ball at the Washington Convention Center.  Hosted by the Obamas and geared toward D.C. residents. If you are not planning on attending any of the events, don't feel left out! Join me in honoring Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, with Lollipop's Official 2009 Inaugural Mix.  It's a musical celebration featuring some of the hottest of-the-moment dance jams (and a classic or two) that I guarantee will make you feel patriotic (and a little funky!)LOLLIPOP'S OFFICIAL INAUGURAL BALL MIXPresident Barack Obama - Change Has ComeDavid Bowie - Changes (Dub Edit)US Marine Corps Band - Hail 2 Da Chief (Sonic Mix)Rihanna - Live Your Life (Changes In America Acapella)Justin Timberlake - Love, Sex, Magic (Disco Funk Mix)Gino Soccio - Try It Out (Rock Barack Mix)Maroon 5 - This Love (Cut Copy Sonic Dub Mix)Eric Prydz - Pjanoo (We Are The USA Mix)Sugababes - No Can Do (Bimbo Jones Mix)Pink - Sober (Bimbo Jones Mix)Jennifer Hudson - If This Isn't Love (Stonebridge Mix)Beyonce - If I Were A Boy (Karmatronic Mix)Kerli - Walking On Air (Josh Harris Mix)Britney Spears - Circus (Edison Pride Mix)President Barack Obama - We Are And Always Will BeQuincy Jones - Brand New Day (Edit)

When the temperature drops - you'll be able to warm yourself with the blazing beats and sizzling hot vocals of my latest mix - Lollipop's Winter Solstice: Equinoctial Dance Mix 2.009. This continuous dance mix honors the winter solstice which occurs at the instant when the Sun's position in the sky is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equatorial plane from the observer.  Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied from culture to culture, but most cultures hold recognition of rebirth, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations.  Celebrating the winter solstice is an ancient idea older than written history.  The harvest was in yet it was not yet time to plant again.  People were stuck indoors with each other between two seasons of heavy work - the timing seemed perfect for a festival!  Early Egyptian and Persian traditions merged in ancient Rome into a festival for the god of seed-time, Saturn.  The people gave themselves up to wild joy - feasting, giving gifts and decorating their homes with greenery (sound familiar?)  As the old year died, rules of ordinary living were relaxed. During the winter solstice festivals the usual order of the year was suspended: businesses, courts and schools were closed; grudges/quarrels forgotten; and even wars were interrupted or postponed while cross-dressing, masquerades and merriment of all kinds prevailed.  As Roman culture became more licentious, so did the celebrations. It is in this joyous spirit that I created this mix which has all the hottest tunes that will be packing dance floors this winter.  Included are the season's essential remixers turning out some new pop flavors with absolutely ALL the dancefloor divas in attendance, seamlessly mixed into a frothy concoction to take you on a mystical musical journey.

As a very, very special treat - I'm proud to be able to debut and share this new classic in Chill compilations, Andrew Sonic's Global Grooves.   I have to confess, this is one of Andrew Sonic's most comprehensive mixes I've heard to date.  He scoured the globe to gather the planet's finest down-tempo music (I didn't even know Greece produced such tracks). The end result is one of those rare "more than the sum of it's parts" creation.  I've had the beta version of this mix in my CD player for 6 weeks already and I still love it, finding nuances like trippy Arabic percussion patterns, Chinese and Polynesian instrumentation, and Indian and Brazilian vocal parts intertwined into one of the most creative mixes I've ever heard.  Enjoy the finest Global Grooves - dubbed out, jazzy, broken beats to relax and stimulate.  Perfect for internationally creative moments.  I know that this will very soon put you in a zen-like state.DIRECTIONS: Press play - bliss out.

Part of the enjoyment of my blog is to be able to share things about myself and my career in music.  Here is something you probably did not know about me… I am a sound/color synesthete.  In the psychological phenomenon known as synesthesia, individuals' sensory systems are a bit more intertwined than usual.  Some people, for example, report seeing colors when musical notes are played.  Like most synesthetes, I consider it a gift - an additional "hidden" sense. Without being fully aware of it, I apply this gift when enjoying music and creating mixes.  Besides using a songs’ tempo, key and energy level, I sequence and mix individual music tracks together based on color harmony.  This “visualization” of sound is why I might prefer a particular remix of a song over another for the context of what I’m trying to create.  "We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege & our adventure to discover our own special light." Colorfully assembled here for your entertainment is an amazing set of the hottest new club bangers.  Play this one loud! I know you'll enjoy this mix.  I hope it inspires you in whatever you do!  As for me… I am Lollipop, the NEON DJ.

Andy WarholIt's finally here!  Lollipop's Sexy Lazy Pool Mix is the perfect soundtrack for enjoying the sunny summer weather.  Inspired by a recent, too-much-fun Palm Springs weekend (and a sexy blond from Montreal).  This mix is cued up and ready to entertain you poolside, at the beach, or while you imagine yourself soaking up the warm golden sun.While creating this set, I tried to include toe-tapping, sing-along favorites, new and old... put in a slightly twisted context to keep them all sounding fresh and uniquely "Lollipop".  I transferred several of these masterpieces direct from my own original vinyl copies just to include in this mix.  I hope listening to my Sexy Lazy Pool Mix brings a big smile to your face as your summer unfolds and that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.  Download, turn up and enjoy (just remember the sunscreen!)LOLLIPOP'S SEXY LAZY POOL MIXDonna Summer - Stamp Your Feet (Jason Nevins Mix)Yaz - Situation (Hercules & Love Affair Mix)David Bowie - Fame (Baker's House Mix)Daft Punk - Around the World (12" Mix)Grandmaster & Melle Mel - White Lines (12" Mix)Hercules & Love Affair - Blind (Frankie Knuckles Mix)Elektrik Funk - On a Journey (12" Mix)Toto - Africa (Nikko Club Mix)The Script - We Cry (Bimbo Jones Mix)Nightcrawlers - Push the Feeling On (Soul Avengerz Mix)Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Freemasons Mix)Peter, Bjorn & John ft Victoria Bergsman - Young Folks (Punks Mix)Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl (Jason Nevins Mix)Amber - Sexual (Li Da Di) (Afterlife Chillout Mix)B.T. ft J.C.

The legend continues...It has been two decades since I produced my last "Top Tune Medley". My previous medleys have traveled the world and are even featured in a full color, printed, historical reference book "The Bootleg Guide to Disco Acetates , Funk, Rap & Disco Medleys".It is sure an honor to have my work immortalized in the American Library of Congress!  Many things have changed in the club/music scene.  It is my opinion that the iconic medley is gone forever.  Back in the day, there was usually only one club version of a song released.  When you were in a club and heard a few familiar notes of your favorite jam - you became euphoric!  All it took was a few recognizable notes and you knew you were about to enjoy a favorite club anthem.  Nowadays crowds aren't really sure what they are dancing to until the vocals start.  At last count, Britney Spears' "Gimme More" had no less than 38+ remixes!  The iconic version of a song is dead. RIP. With the fracturing of the dance music market into so many sub-genres, it was a challenge to select what I felt was either the most recognizable dance mix of a song or the version that was able to retain the same vibe as the one I usually spin.The other big challenge for this production was the current use of extended no-beat breakdowns. In the context of a medley that moves along so quickly, breaks are a real energy killer.  Unfortunately another popular trend is to place most of the recognizable vocals in this beat-less break then follow that with some instrumental "electrified" beats (you know who you are!).  For these reasons, a majority of tracks used had additional studio production added so they'd be suitable in the context of my medley.  Most of the versions of these songs only exist in DJ Lollipop's world, which of course only adds more interest and is another reason to listen louder and more intently!Since I am so blessed to have "Lollipop" fans literally all over the world, I took a global approach to this musical production.  Great dance music transcends language & cultural barriers.  Get ready to shake that thang!  I worked hard to create a classic mix that accurately represents 2007, & will stay relevant, lasting as long as the first medley I did in my bedroom studio way back in 1981.  I'm sure "Lollipop's 2007 Top Tune Medley" will be one of your new favorite mixes.LOLLIPOP'S 2007 TOP TUNE MEDLEYLollipop's 2007 Top Tune Medley IntroGwen Stefani -YummyEric Prydz - Proper EducationRihanna - UmbrellaBeyonce & Shakira - Beautiful LiarChris Lake ft Emma Hewitt - Carry Me AwayHellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms)Nelly Fertado - All Good ThingsMark Ronson - Stop MeTimbaland ft One Republic - ApologizeTimberlake - LoveStoned / I Think She KnowsEnur - Calabria 2007Kanye West - StrongerDJ Antoine - This TimeFergie - GlamorousDavid Guetta - Love Is GoneGabriel & Dresden - Dangerous PowerBritney Spears - Gimme MoreRihanna - Don't Stop The MusicPlumb - In My ArmsDavid Guetta - The World Is MineTimbaland ft Nelly & Justin - Give It To MeBob Sinclar ft Dollar Man & Big Ali - Rock This PartyJustice - D.A.N.C.E.Nelly Furtado - Say It RightHilary Duff - With LoveIda Corr vs Fedde LeGrand - Let Me Think About ItThe Killers - Read My MindPink - U + Ur HandKelly Rowlandf ft Eve - Like ThisEdun - Put 'Em UpFergie - Big Girls Don't CryBob Sinclar - World Hold OnHilary Duff - StrangerTimbaland ft Keri Hilson - The Way I AreSeptember - Cry For YouGwen Stefani - The Sweet EscapeTony Moran ft Kristine W - Walk AwayKat DeLuna - Whine UpMaroon 5 - Makes Me WonderLady Sovereign - Love Me Or Hate MeJody Watley - I Want Your LoveAmy Winehouse - RehabJustin Timberlake - What Goes AroundJennifer Hudson - And I Am Telling YouLollipop's 2007 Top Tune Medley Outro

Banned by YouTube in the USA!  (view here)  This is the official soundtrack to the amazing video production "Decade of Dance" that featured the best the 80's had to offer!  This audio/video mix was originally designed as to be the New Years Eve 1990 video countdown for the Clubland nightclub chain.  It was an incredible sensation to be in a huge, packed club and watching people lose their shit when this was debuted.  The reason why?  It features only the biggest dance hits from a decade that introduced us to technological innovations like MTV, the Walkman, and personal computers.  Hear them all, year-by-year, in the neatly-packaged Lollipop's 80's Decade of Dance.  "Like 'fer shure!"LOLLIPOP'S 80's DECADE OF DANCEBlondie - Call Me (1980)Kool & the Gang - Celebration (1981)Human League – Don't You Want Me Baby (1982)Michael Jackson – Billie Jean (1983)Prince – Let’s Go Crazy (1984)Madonna – Into The Groove (1985)New Order – Bizarre Love Triangle (1986)Company B – Fascinated (1987)Salt N’ Pepper – Push It (1988)Tone Loc – Wild Thing (1989)

I have a very special posting to share.Like many people - I love rain.  I look forward to rainy days the way some people look forward to vacations.  When the dark clouds gather and the muffled sound of thunder can be heard in the distance, I anxiously await the plink... drip... plink... sounds of raindrops as they begin to fall.  Life slows down.  The rain cleanses, refreshes, and nurtures the Earth.We don't get much rain in Southern California but according to my midWestern upbringing, now is the time when “April showers bring May flowers”.  When we do get some precipitation here in the O.C., it creates a moody, magical, almost spiritual feeling.  It is a global experience everyone can relate to.  This mix was created specifically for that rainy day.NOTE: Something all great disc jockeys have in common is the skill to play just the right song at just the right time.  The programming is in your hands now.  Save this mix for a rainy day and experience how transforming it can be.  If the rainy season has past already where you live, this special mix will remind you of one of those wet days.  I know you'll enjoy this.  PS: Stay dry!LOLLIPOP'S ULTIMATE RAINY DAY MIXSWV - RainMadonna - RainOran "Juice" Jones - The RainAstrud Gilberto - Here's That Rainy DayEruption - I Can't Stand The RainB.J.

My husband Allan and I traveled to New York where we were invited to PETER MAX's office for a private reception.  There we enjoyed seeing the inner sanctum of one of America's cultural legends.  I was absolutely thrilled to see so many large pieces of his work.  His collection of eclectic souvenirs included President Clinton's saxaphone, a full-sized fiberglass cow, a 6' tall soda pop bottle and the signed piano from 'Ringo Starr' all glowing in psychedelic colors painted by the man himself. The best part of this experience was being invited into PETER MAX's personal painting studio by Peter himself.  He was warm and genuine as he welcomed me by shaking my hand and showing me where he creates his art.  He showed me his painting easels, brushes, paints and the DJ booth he has set up in the corner of the room.  TURNTABLES!  lol - apparently he likes to paint accompanied by a musical muse and has someone come in and keep the tunes going for him while other members of the entourage jam on bongos and other percussion instruments.

'The local teenage haunt in Norridge Village, Illinois was the Hub Axle. Known by most as the BEST ROLLERSKATING RINK EVER!  To this day, I've never seen a rink that could compare to it's size.  It was twice as big as it's closest competitor (Chicago's Rainbow Roller Rink on Clark Street) and it is missed and mourned by everyone who was a regular. This mix reflects the most magical time in my life. This was when the seeds of the realization that I could mix records for a crowd were planted.  Weekdays existed to only fill the void between my next visit to the rink for a speedy whip around it's glorious wood floor.  We waited in long lines in 3 feet of snow to get into the Hub's disco roller skating on Friday nights and Saturday nights.  What a thrill!  The energy and heat that radiated from that place literally steamed up all the windows.  The fantastic lighting - awesome sound system.  Brilliant!!

I recently rented a DAT machine (very 80's) and transferred some old DAT's that had studio production on them from when I also did production.  I found a glorious medley I thought you would enjoy.  This one is all 1987 club hits that I was spinning at the time.  I now do digital editing and it's funny to think that I originally put this together on a Tascam 4 track by just overlaying vinyl records and using a razor blade and tape to physically cut and edit it together!  Oh my did it take a lot of time!!!!!  It's so much easier now.  I hope you enjoy it!

The 1981 Top Tune Medley is the first of my productions to be released as a vinyl record.It is a collection of all the big dancefloor filling hits from my first nightclub in Chicago called "POETS" on 9 West Division Street.  When I produced this first medley, I was still learning all the tricks of editing. Also, all the songs used were hits during 1981. Some were released at the end of 1980, but my production was a sonic snapshot of what was packing dance floors in Chicago that year.  I was 17 years old at the time and working with a fake ID that said I was 22 - I still can't believe I got away with it. lol.  What fun. I was so naive.  I just wanted to spin records for a packed dancefloor.  I hope this brings back lots of great memories for you. I bet it will!
