PART 1 : Live radio from money-making Manhattan. The three big 80s stations are here : WBLS, WKTU and KISS FM featuring the best DJs in NYC bringing you master-mixes, traffic reports and phone-ins. These mixes were put together before samplers were invented using tape-decks and razor-blades . Starting with the brilliant Tony Humphries ’Traffic Jam’ followed by DJ Twix ’Devastate Your Ear’ (listen for the vinyl looping half-way through, done by hand!). Next, a stripped-down dub of ’Planet Rock’ mixing into Kraftwerk ’Numbers’ followed by the excellent “Channel J Sex Therapy” phone-in.
Next, WBLS, the undisputed king of the airwaves, brings you the Mister Magic ’Rap Attack’. The Marley Marl remix of Craig G ‘Shout’ (Tears for Fears) is here - a total annihilation of the original. Finally, the 80s wouldn’t be complete without Newkleus ’Jam on it’ mixing into Talking Heads ’Slippery People’.
