Description
Back in 1982 and ’83, when we dropped Last Night a DJ Saved My Life into a set, it opened the door to either mid-tempo Italo disco or that smooth, rubbery groove of early synth-funk. For this week’s mix, I’ve leaned into the latter.
It’s a curated snapshot of early ’80s mid-tempo synth-funk, featuring heavyweights from both sides of the Atlantic. Expect grooves from Luther Vandross, René & Angela, Cheryl Lynn, Shalamar, and Kool & The Gang, with a tasteful touch of UK flavor courtesy of Junior and Heatwave.
