Run-DMC had the,... not-so....,Bright idea of fusing Hip Hop with white Rock.
At the time (1983) I was blissfully innocent of Aerosmith's existence and the pure liquid evil of their frankly Fucking awful sub-Zep rip off of Led Zep.Who the fuck was that dick breaking through the wall on the set of the "Walk This Way" video. This Cunt was allegedly exceedingly famous on American FM (stands for Fuck me!) radio.Nestling, all cosey-like,in the sweaty armpits of Page and Plant.In between shagging under-age girls,and bumming a few easily impressed male American idiots.
I Humbly apologize to America that four English sex abusers were allowed to come over to your fine land and wreak such unforgivable havoc......er...well....on second thoughts, i'm not sorry at all actually.They can all go Fuck themselves,which they probably do.
Remember this is the land of Harvey Wankstain and Geoffrey Underpant Stain after all.Not forgetting Human Trafficker and honorary american idiotesse Jisslaine Max Swell.....most of whom were arrested for....wait for it....handling Swollen Goods;-)
So RUN-DMC are indeed the inspiration, if inspiration is the appropriate word for the downright blight on humanity for such unholy Hybrids as Funky Metal,Rap Metal,Limp Biscuit and the Bestiality Boys early years...Just think, no Fred Durst!..(sigh)...I hear no apology,or invoking of the fifth amendment right to silence on the grounds that Donald Trump may incriminate himself.. I wish someone had invoked the Right To Silence when Aerosmith came through that cardboard wall back in '86.
Apart from the unfortunate influence of RUN-DMC.....what are they doing on this comp anyway?.....we get three of yer DJ's standard stunts, three times,....yes the MEGAMIX! One of 'em done for us by none other than the godfather's cousin's best mate of Electro himself...Herbie Handoncock.
This one,Electro 4, sounds a tad more charty than the others in the series,but certainly still gets those toes-a-tapping.....if you're drunk enough.

How many volumes did this series run?
Yeah, I saw Run DMC somewhere in the middle 90's, in Rotterdam in a place called Nightown which, at that time was one of the biggest discotheques and concert venues in Holland. Saw many, many concerts there. And it was weird. They, Run DMC, were still performing in football stadiums back home in the States but at that concert almost nobody showed up... There were maybe 40, 50 people there, the place was just empty... They did their show and they weren't bad, had they performed there say, 5 years earlier the place would've been packed.... Things had shifted already around that time, around '95... Where you would see maybe 5 whites at fully packed concerts in the late 80's, early 90's, you would now maybe see 5 blacks in the whole place... Shit, they didn't want to sell me a ticket when I went to my very first hip hop concert (Public Enemy, EPMD, The Afro's, Young Black Teenagers and Inteligent Hoodlum) saying that I was white and I would get killed out there, must've been '89, '90 maybe, and I had a great time there... We had a club in Rotterdam back then, called the Imperium and they had hip hop concerts and there would be almost no whites there, people telling me I was insane going there by myself, pretty heavy place, you'd see guys giving their guns to the bouncers, then getting their guns back once passed though the metal detectors, never had a problem there and I saw some great, great concerts there, Eric B & Rakim, Das Efx, Lords of the Underground, Tim Dog and other stuff.... Good ol' days :)
You mentioned Dalek in an earlier post. They were from New York, I hung out with a few of them some 10 years ago or so, when they did a show here in Bandung, nice guys...
The stuff you're posting now, I wasn't really touched by it back then, it wasn't until PE came out with their It Takes a Nation album that I got fully into it, that album just hit me in the face so hard when I first heard it, it felt like early punk all over again (their first album didn't do much for me) and I was into it for quite a few years until it started to disgust me with all the Jay Z's, Eminem's etc. and I got out of it completely around 2006 or so.... Sure, there were still plenty good acts around back then, Company Flow etc. but overall it felt like how punk died around '81, '82, to me anyways....
Funny thing, there was a short lived genre here, around 1985, where some groups started experimenting with the electro/early hip hop stuff, jaipong groups, and they called their style break-pong, they would also mix traditional dance moves with break-dancing :)
I've seen a vol. 21 before, but that was from a time when old skool electro was rather old hat,ino the 90's
Yeah, Nation of Millions era Public Enemy still stands up today,but a lot of the other acts are rather lame. I listened to NWA straight outta compton the other day,and to think it used to frightene the shit out of yer white collar conservative is fankly...laughable. But it is charming in its way........personally I wouldn't miss any Rap act if they drowned tomorrow.
I've never been in a 'White Man In Hammersmith Palais" situation. We were always very integrated in my town, Leicvester.....it being 51% non-white. 'Twas especially good around the DRum'n'Bass epoch, and Detroit Techno...everyone was luvved up anyway.....this was when Football Hooliganism Stopped too......on the way back though.
Lots of good English stuff too back then, Overlord X comes to mind.... MC Duke....
DJ Screw is pretty DIY if y'ask me, if y'all ain't heard of him. Selling his tapes out of the front room of his house until demand got so high he had to open up a storefront on the south side of Houston. Never tried PCP or Codeine me but I do like my music druggy from time to time.

Can't seem to download all 7 tracks. Tracks 5 and 6 not showing? SP
A thousand thanks for the ongoing posts of this series; it's like you knew I'd been craving some early 80s hip hop recently.
Point of order, tho: the download is missing the Keymatic & VHB tracks. Any chance of reupping those?
