The Twelve Inch 123 : Are You My Baby : Funk/Hip-Hop/Old-School - 1989

The BPM is 103 and we are at the end of the eighties. This means : funk, R&B, world music, hip-hop & house.
This is my weekly mix that accompanies my newsletter on substack. If you want to read the story of Wendy & Lisa and their connection with Prince : https://thetwelveinch.substack.com/p/the-twelve-inch-123-are-you-my-baby

I start with the twelve inch version of “Are You My Baby”, followed by Sheena Easton’s funky “What Comes Naturally”. Prince '(Get Off) and his production “Martina’s Kitchen” by Martina are next.

The mix has world music by Les Rita Mitsouko and Les Negresses Vertes. Hip-hop by De La Soul and The Beastie Boys and House by William Orbit’s Bass-O-Matic, Madonna & Grace Jones.
