I've been wanting to do a Freestyle mixtape for a while now. I have cool memories of this music booming out of little Suzuki Samurais and Honda Civics in the late '80s during family vacations to the East and West Coasts. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of archived radio DJ mixes from the late '80s and was inspired to pull together some tasty Rap, Freestyle, Electro, Post-Disco, and House for this tape. I only recently became aware of the original version of 'Show Me Love' and found an unopened copy on Discogs, so the version at the end of this set is a genuine needle drop. A brief introduction to the Freestyle genre: Emerging in the early 1980s in the United States and originating in the urban Latino communities of New York City and Miami, Freestyle was characterized by a blend of synthesizer and drum-heavy electronic beats, Latin percussion, and emotive, often dramatic singing. Notable artists include Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Stevie B, and Exposé. Internationally, the impact of Freestyle was more nuanced. In Europe, while synth-pop, new wave, and house music were more dominant, elements of Freestyle influenced the emerging Eurodance scene. Meanwhile, in Japan, Freestyle was overshadowed by genres like J-Pop and city pop, along with various other forms of Western music. While its core fanbase resided in cities like New York and Miami, Freestyle's popularity was embraced in club scenes nationwide and received considerable radio play, particularly on urban contemporary, dance, and R&B stations during its peak in the late 1980s. This era marked the height of Freestyle's run in the charts with songs like 'Fascinated' by Company B, 'Crush on You' by The Jets, 'Point of No Return' by Exposé, 'Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)' by Samantha Fox, and 'Tell It to My Heart' by Taylor Dayne. Freestyle's influence persisted into the early '90s, notably in Eurodance with international hit songs like 'Rhythm of the Night' by Corona and 'Be My Lover' by La Bouche, which exhibited similarly catchy choruses and uptempo rhythms, but with much denser and slicker production. While in the Latin music scene, especially in the early to mid-1990s, Latin Freestyle, a subgenre, saw artists like Selena infusing traditional Latin sounds with Freestyle's electronic beats and rhythms. Freestyle remains a distinctive and memorable part of 1980s music culture, representing a unique fusion of sounds that captured the energy and diversity of its era.

The short lived Disco area ended in the early 80s. We put together a great compilation of soul/dance music that came in the aftermath.
What happened after the fateful night, July 12th 1979, when DJ Steve Dahl literally Blew up disco and killed it? We discuss one of the most fun, unappreciated, and now newly budding genres of music...Post Disco Funk! Enjoy
We'll tell you for sure that one song got into the Hall of Songs from our recent election, the 32nd overall. But two? In the 1980s? Is it possible?Listen to get the full results of the latest vote. You'll hear what happens to songs like current smash hit "Running Up That Hill" and former smash hit "Bette Davis Eyes" ... and everything in between.
Some songs get lost and fall into the cracks. That's what the Veterans Committee is for. Join Tim and Chris as dig back into the years of 1983 to '86 and nominate four more songs for the Hall of Songs. Dance music? Yes. Americana music? Sure. An appearance by our (sort-of) independent ombudsman? Absolutely.Listen as Tim and Chris talk about the songs of 1983 to '86.Hosts: Tim Malcolm and Chris JonesGenre: Music Commentary, Music History
Will any songs join the 65 current members of the Hall of Songs, our prestigious academy of the greatest songs of all-time?Join Tim and Chris as they go over a huge ballot of 29 songs from between 1981 and '85. You've got records by Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Tears For Fears, Eurythmics, Phil Collins and many more big names. Will anything get through?
We have been dreaming of this moment since starting Hall of Songs. It's time to enter 1985, when the biggest names in pop music converge for charity spectacles like "We Are the World" and Live Aid, and when some of the most enduring songs of a generation hit pretty darn hard. Come along for the ride as we select our top-12 songs from 1985. After listening, head to hallofsongs.com to vote for the songs you think deserve to be in our hall of fame for songs called the Hall of Songs.
Time to reveal the results for the 30th election of Hall of Songs! Yes, 30!Currently we have 65 songs in the Hall. Do we get to 66? 67? 68? More? Listen as Tim and Chris go through the election results, featuring songs we've nominated that were released between 1981 and '84, and talk about the biggest surprises, the good, the bad, and a lot more.
OK, maybe we're guilty of using a little hyperbole. 1984 is, however, a year of huge stars, big sounds, and even bigger songs. In this episode of Hall of Songs, Tim and Chris select their top-12 from this year, and you'll get huge names like Bruce, the highest of NRG, and one dominant force whose fingerprints are all over this year.Listen, then vote for the best songs ever at hallofsongs.com.
Let's not waste time: Chris is back and joins Tim to induct the 65th song into our prestigious Hall of Songs. Which record will join the latest two, Prince's "Little Red Corvette" and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"? Take the time to find out. Also, we discuss songs that are now eliminated from our Hall of Songs ballot ... and the thing that all the remaining songs have in common.
The Hall of Songs is filling up! The 63rd and 64th members are announced in this episode, in which Tim goes it alone and offers thoughts on the election at large. Songs released between 1976 and '82 were on the ballot this time out -- what do you think got in? What do you think got taken off the ballot?
Selecting songs for Hall of Songs nomination is a hard job. Sometimes, while toiling over all the options, you decide that certain tunes that we now consider problematic still merit inclusion. At least that's what one co-host of Hall of Songs would argue. Join Tim and Chris as they put four more songs from 1979 to '82 onto the ballot. Luckily, they bring in a (sort-of) independent ombudsman to sort through the issues with them.In this episode, Tim and Chris talk about the four new nominees, then go deeper into '79-'82 with selections by artists like Split Enz and, naturally, the Grateful Dead.Hosts: Tim Malcolm and Chris JonesGenre: Music Commentary, Music History
Prepárate porque hoy sonarán las más asombrosas y bailables melodías de un estilo que es antecesor de la música electrónica de baile, hoy solo sonará Funk y sobre todo Boogie. Se inició a finales de los 70 en Estados Unidos, el sonido Boogie se define por el uso de instrumentos electrónicos más que acústicos, con énfasis en las melodías vocales y diversos efectos de sonido, que más tarde evolucionarían a lo que hoy es conocido como Electro y House. El Boogie siguiendo el ejemplo del Post-Disco, en Londres se usó para describir la forma de música Dance-Fank Afroamericana de los años 80, en esta década algunos formaciones empezaban a experimentar con los sonidos electrónicos, cambiando instrumentaciones tradicionales como el bajo electrónico por sintetizadores, y sobre todo por cajas de ritmo. A día de hoy se usa más de lo que parece, el Indie Pop, el Nu-Disco actual son géneros que usan estas instrumentaciones en sus composiciones.

Andy Sells is the mastermind behind our most recent vinyl release, Select Level.

From Afrobeat to Thrash Metal, Downtempo to Jazz and even his most recent adventure into Punk Funk and Post Disco with his Select Level project, his love of music is all encompassing and clearly insatiable.

Ce cinquième épisode s'intéresse à l'électronisation du disco dans les années 80, quand, dans la communauté noire et gay de Chicago naît un dérivé du disco, artisanal et synthétique, qui deviendra la forme de dance music la plus populaire dans les années 90 : la house music.

First emerging in the late '70s as part of the Philly sound, this week's artist quickly grew into her chops as a singer-songwriter in the fabulous world of disco and Hi NRG.
The latest episode of the podcast which asks: why didn't Top Of The Pops do a Bonfire Night special instead, the traitorous, British-way-of-life-hating bastards? Yeah yeah, we know: another early Eighties one. But if you thought we were going to wait another year before we got stuck into this particular episode, you don't know Chart Music. The Pops is entombed in its rah-rah-rah flags-and-balloons Zoo-wanker phase and has pulled out all the stops (i.e., gone through the BBC props cupboard) decided to do a Halloween special, even though Halloween means next to arse all in the UK in pre-ET 1982. And who else to guide us through this realm of piss-poor joke-shop terror than the Dark Lord Simon Bates? Musicwise, it's a pic n' mix of razor blade-tainted apples and cat shit in shiny wrappers, with a diamond or two lurking at the bottom. The tang of Pebble Mill is strong in this one: Dionne Warwick glares at us in a Margo Leadbetter rig-out. Barry Manilow is DTF. The Beatles arise from the grave. Blue Zoo demonstrate why they're not going to be the next Duran Duran. Raw Silk pointedly ignore that they're performing to a room full of simpletons with net curtains over their heads and waving a cat on a stick. Eddy Grant gets round his horrible missus. Boy George has balloons thrown at him in an aggressive manner. Simon Bates rides a broomstick dressed as Ali Bongo. The Zoo Wankerage is jacked up to the absolute maximum. Meanwhile, in Newcastle, the crew of The Tube are rubbing their hands together with glee. Taylor Parkes and Neil Kulkarni join Al Needham to suckle upon the throat early-Eighties Pop Mankiness, veering off on such tangents as the rubbishness of a British Halloween, being barred out of pubs in Nottingham for looking like Jimmy Savile, the truth about George Martin and the Mopfabs, Rambo Pumpkins, Cilla Back ramming chocolate into people's gobs, BBC4 butchering the only programme they run that anyone's interested in, having 40 Romantic Moments in one week, why we people never talk about Post-Disco, and an astonishing appearance on 3-2-1 by two Chart Music favourites.

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
