I don’t know if was the Beatmasters or Tyree who invented it but it’s one of the best sub-genres ever.

KOOL ROCK STEADY - LET’S GET HYPED (LP MIX)

FAST EDDIE FEAT SUNDANCE - GIT ON UP

TYREE COOPER - TURN UP THE BASS (FAST EDDIE MIX)

REBEL MC - STREET TUFF (CLUB RADIO MIX)

BEATMASTERS FEAT BETTY BOO - HEY DJ/ I CAN’T DANCE TO THE MUSIC YOU’RE PLAYING

Producers had electronic dance music nailed over twenty years ago. It is depressing to think when Bomb The Bass and co were laying down tracks with their Atari ST and Roland D50 it was closer in time to The Beatles than it is to Drop The Lime!

Yo party people get ready for this!

Maybe it was the scars of Victoria Bernstein’s eighth birthday party but until recently I had real dancing issues. I was very self-conscious and awkward. In recent weeks that fear has all but disappeared - I don’t give a damn! I’ve been shaking my uncoordinated frame and getting a sweat on to all sorts of things. I’m particularly looking forward to spazzing out during Mr Charisma’s Chicago house set on Friday. I hope he plays some Fast Eddie tracks.

There are many versions and remixes of both of these but the two here are among the best and were found on the same double A sided Borehamwood charity shop 12”.

FAST EDDIE – I CAN DANCE (THE RAPTURE MIX)

FAST EDDIE - HIP HOUSE (THE ANNIHILATION MIX)
