From the land of 'horny computers', space age vocoders, tough dudes and even tougher women comes this collection of prime Miami Bass/Booty/Electro. This stuff is like my golden age of music and the moment someone devotes a whole night to this shit is the moment I get very excited and go to that night and dance all night long (whilst maintaining my B-Boy stance of course). Coming soon....a special one off post on the madness that is Clarence 'Blowfly' Reid (author of such greats as: 'Electronic Pussy Sucker' and 'Fuck the Devil').

j.j. fad - blame it on the muzick

afro rican - get loose do the nasty

miami boys - miami boys gettin off

boyz from the bottom - boom i got your girlfriend

Its been a while since we had any Miami Bass on here. Here is the time the 2 Live Crew met Fidel Castro and made a 'tame' (for Luke's standards) love song. Perfect for your lunch break!

Its miami bass wednesday! Today we kick off with a video....



Freestyle - Automatic

Dope track with a mean basslines, spooky singalong lyrics about a robot forcefully taking another robot girl....are those fucked up dystopian visions or am I taking life a little too seriously?

Next up is a video from Afrika Bambaata's cousin MC Shy D. Shake It is a straight up party track in the vein of Run DMC, the video features a lot of hoop earrings and dookie ropes (for those that havent guessed yet, this is like my perfect party ever).



And here is the track itself....

MC Shy D - Shake It

Heres something more on the electro tip (and by electro I don't mean Ed Banger/MSTRKRFT 'electro', I mean head spinning, high fiving, 808 beating, high topping ELECTRO), heres a track that every music fan should have in their collection...

Al-Naafiyash - Hashim

Bonus! Disco Rick presents the Getto Neuz (just check those backgrounds out)..

Part two of 'I wish I was Black and Gay in 1985' is currently under construction, in the mean time here's a bit of Chicago to tide you over.....

Kevin Irving - Children of the Night

Robert Owens- I'll be your friend

Maurice - This is acid


Oh, and while I'm on the subject of the 80's here is the Miami bass mix I promised ages ago....

Gamma Ray Mix

1.Mc Ade-bass rock Express
2.Computer Rockers- Bass takes control
3.Afro Rican- Get my Freak on (funky mix)
4.BlowFly- E.P.S

What is there NOT to like about Miami Bass?

Dug up a lot of my old Miami bass for a mix I've just done (watch this space)- two tracks for you:

1: Ring my phone Shantell and Dwayne- two kids rapping over a heavy 808 beat with crazy TV samples - can't go wrong-

ring my phone shantell dwayne




Sleeze Boyz - Z.O.I.D.S. A bit of drum machine sexy space bass- macho, sexist and amazing



Sleeze Boyz - Z.O.I.D.S.
