There's been a breakdance podcast rumbling about in the background for the last couple of months. It's finally upon us as we take a step back in time to 1983/1984. The heyday of body-poppin, moon-walking and some pretty naff clothing. I considered myself a bit of a fan and I've picked up a few records over the years. Most of the following are taken from their seven inch vinyl source but a few of them are longer 12" mixes. I've decided to dispense with the chat for this podcast episode so roll out the lino and get ready for a break-off. The tracklist is:
Hey You Rock Steady Crew - Rock Steady Crew
Street Dance - Break Machine
Buffalo Gals - Malcolm McLaren
Automatic - The Pointer Sisters
Din Daa Daa - George Kranz
Breakdance Party - Break Machine
Tour De France - Kraftwerk
Step Off - Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five
Rockit - Herbie Hancock
