Bros — I Quit (The Acidic Mix) (320k)

Back in late 80s they used to have acid house remixes of boy pop band tunes in Britain. That’s some­thing I didn’t know back then but Bros as a phe­nom­e­non was famil­iar to me because of this Finnish pop­u­lar cul­ture mag­a­zine (not talk­ing about that par­tic­u­lar issue).

Jack­sons feat Mick Jag­ger — State Of Shock (320k)

I’ll be DJing today for 5 hours in a local Jack & Jones clothes shop. Heard some­one there wanted it to be ALL MICHAEL JACKSON MUSIC. Rea­sons unknown. Think it ain’t gonna be only Michael. Any­ways, I’ll try my best to keep it in the Jackson’s fam­ily. Some other bits and pieces thrown in for some change of tone, though.

Below is what they was gonna release orig­i­nally but for some rea­sons it was Mick who ended up being on the record.

Pebbles — Love/Hate (1987)

October 30th, 2009

Love/Hate is from Bev­erly Hills Cop II sound­track, pro­duced by Andre Cymone. I’ve just recently “grown” to love 80s new jack swing and R&B and this track is prob­a­bly one of my favorites. Mech­a­nized R&B.

Peb­bles is also known as the for­mer man­ager of 90s R&B super­group TLC. Nowa­days she has aban­doned enter­tain­ment indus­try as she became a born again Chris­t­ian in 1997 and is now known as Sis­ter Perri. Gotta look for the 12″ even though in this case the sound is slightly more bland com­pared to the album version.

Ray Parker Jr. — Jamie (1984)

Ray+Parker+Jr+other01

First thing that comes in mind when some­one men­tions Ray Parker Jr.? Kinda obvi­ous but hey, maybe I’ll call Jamie! In an inter­view he was asked…

Judy: I wouldn’t be so rude as to ask just how much money you made from the Ghost­busters song. But can you tell us — was it more than a hun­dred pounds?

Ray Parker Jr.: Yes.

Richard: Con­sid­er­ably more?

Ray Parker Jr.: More than a hun­dred pounds a minute, forever.

Judy: You mean for the rest of time? For eternity?

Ray Parker Jr.: Prob­a­bly, yes.

Make it sound like “I Want a New Drug” the films pro­duc­ers said. And Ray did.

Track #6 from the Kyny­Nasty Vol. 1. Released only as 7″ and as a part of Chart­busters LP. I had to loop it a bit for the mix. Worry not, here is the original.
