STYLIN’ In this episode of Turn The Beat Around we celebrate one of the most distinctive dance genres born in 1980s America: Freestyle — an electronic, Latin‑infused, synth‑driven sound that emerged from the club scenes of New York, Philadelphia and Miami. The genre took shape in the early 1980s, blending post‑disco, electro and hip‑hop influences, with Shannon's Let the Music Play (1983) widely considered the first true Freestyle record. Miami quickly became a major hub, developing a brighter, glossy production style that helped propel acts like Exposé into national chart success. TTBA's tribute leaned into an all‑female playlist honouring the genre's emotional vocals, Latin percussion and shimmering synth hooks.

Full Intention, Deborah Cox, Army of Lovers, Firefly, Alex Party, Brothers Macklovitch — all part of a set that celebrated the artists, producers and communities who've kept the beat alive since TTBA first hit the airwaves.

1986… JUST FOR KICKS – THE TTBA DELUXE EDITION In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we celebrate forty years since the release of one the biggest compilation albums of the 1980s: 1986… Just For Kicks. Originally issued on 11 August 1986, the LP stormed the ARIA Albums Charts and spent a full month at No. 1, becoming the soundtrack of Spring '86 across Australia. To mark the anniversary, this episode presents a complete track‑by‑track replay — but with a twist. Instead of the original running order, we rebuild the album from the ground up, correcting the sequencing quirks that have bothered fans for decades. And for the first time in forty years, we include the six additional tracks from the Megamix edition that never appeared on the standard release. This is the expanded, re‑sequenced, 40th‑anniversary edition of 1986… Just For Kicks — exclusively on Turn The Beat Around.

FUNKY DRUMMER In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we unpack the story behind one of the most influential recordings in modern music: James Brown's Funky Drummer. Recorded in 1969 and released in 1970, the track features Clyde Stubblefield's legendary 20‑second improvised drum break — a groove that went on to be sampled in more than 2,000 songs across hip‑hop, pop, rock, dance, and electronic music. Across two hours, we trace how this single drum loop became hip‑hop's heartbeat, powering tracks by Public Enemy, LL Cool J, and De La Soul, before crossing into pop and rock via artists like George Michael, Fine Young Cannibals and Kylie Minogue.

A DIVA, A PIANO, A HOUSE TRACK – Pt. 1 In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we dive into the golden age of 90s piano house — a decade when soaring vocals and bright piano riffs shaped the sound of the clubs. Across the hour, we revisit the anthems that lit up queer nightlife, the producers who pushed house music into the mainstream, and the stories behind classics like “Finally,” “Everybody Everybody,” and Lulu's triumphant “Independence.” It's a celebration of empowerment and the unmistakable sound of 90s piano house, delivered by the divas who brought the energy and sparkle.

A DIVA, A PIANO, A HOUSE TRACK – Pt. 2  In the second part of our 90s piano‑house celebration, we continue our tribute to the divas who powered the genre — the women whose vocals, emotion and sheer presence turned bright piano riffs into dance‑floor anthems. This episode moves into the more soulful, emotional side of the genre, revisiting Sabrina Johnston's powerful “Peace (In the Valley),” Kylie Minogue's shimmering “Where Is the Feeling,” Alison Limerick's timeless classic “Where Love Lives,” and Juliet Roberts' fierce “Caught in the Middle.” These are the tracks that carried the spirit of house music into the mainstream while keeping its heart firmly on the dancefloor. It's a continuation of the sound that defined the decade: big chords, bigger vocals, and the unmistakable energy of the 90s piano‑house queens who made every track feel like liberation.

FRANCE JOLI  In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we dive into the extraordinary rise of France Joli — the French‑Canadian prodigy who became a disco legend at just sixteen. From her early days performing across Montreal to the night that changed everything on Fire Island, we trace the story behind Come To Me, the song that crowned her a queer‑club icon overnight.  It’s a celebration of the teen who became a global dancefloor queen — and a tribute to one of disco's most magical origin stories.

69 RAUHOFER STYLE PT.2 Last month we kicked off our three‑part Peter Rauhofer / Club 69 special by tracing his journey from Vienna's underground clubs to the New York dance floors he would ultimately command — The Roxy, WORK!, and the pop‑diva remixes that cemented his place in queer nightlife.

LOCOMOTION – 39th ANNIVERSARY In this episode, we rewind to the moment Kylie Minogue's recording career truly began — a charity gig, a chance encounter, and a demo that changed everything. We trace the rise of Locomotion from an off‑the‑cuff performance to a decade‑defining No. 1, and peek into the two Melbourne‑made B‑sides that quietly shaped her earliest sound. It's the story of how a Neighbours star became a pop phenomenon… long before the world realised what was coming.

PRETTY IN PINK – 40 YEARS LATER In this episode of Turn The Beat Around we celebrate one of the most beloved teen films — and one of the most influential alt‑pop soundtracks — of the 1980s: Pretty in Pink (1986). John Hughes' suburban‑romance classic starred Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy, Jon Cryer and James Spader, but it was the music that turned the film into a generational touchstone. We explored how the soundtrack became an even bigger success than the movie itself, climbing to No. 6 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 1986 and introducing Australian audiences to a wave of British new‑wave and post‑punk acts. From the Psychedelic Furs' title track to OMD's era‑defining “If You Leave,” this episode revisits the songs that shaped the emotional architecture of the film and helped define teen culture in the mid‑80s. A soundtrack that inspired a generation, and still stands as one of the decade's most enduring alt‑pop compilations.

THE BEATMASTERS – WHO’S IN THE ACID HOUSE This episode of Turn The Beat Around paid tribute to one of the most inventive production teams to emerge from late‑80s London: The Beatmasters. Across the hour, we explored how Manda Glanfield, Paul Carter and Richard Walmsley stepped out of the commercial jingle world and helped shape the sound of early British house and hip‑house. The special traced their rise from underground club innovators to chart‑breaking hitmakers, revisiting genre‑defining singles including “Rok Da House,” “Burn It Up,” “Hey DJ / I Can't Dance…” and “Who's In The House.” We also spotlighted their transition into one of the UK's most in‑demand production teams, contributing to major releases for Pet Shop Boys, Tina Turner, Yazz and their chart‑topping work with The Shamen. Across the hour, we celebrated the trio's fearless fusion of rap, house, pop and rave energy — a sound that cracked open the UK charts and left a permanent mark on club culture.
