THE 80's MIXED SET

FEXY'S 80'S FUNK BOMB
PAR EXCELLENCE MIX

Here's something for all you 80's funk lovers. I've been listening to quite a bit of funk recently, not just from the 80's but also from the 70's, and with all that groovin' it inspired me to create this mix. This is kind of a companion mix to Tristan Dee's Hot! 80's Funk Mix. Two tracks, Zapp's It Doesn't Really Matter and Vanity 6's Nasty Girl, which were featured in Tristan's mix also make an appearance here although Zapp's track is the extended version and Nasty Girl is a different remix. There are also a couple of fantastic rare mixes. The Datashat Mix of Grand Master Flash's The Message is a great rework which puts the vocoder to great work. One track of particular interest is the Jimmy M Mix of Johnny Harris' Odyssey. Those of you who are up on their 80's television may recognise this funky instrumental from a 1980 episode of Buck Rogers In The 21st Century entitled Space Rockers. It is also featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. All in all it's a brilliant hidden 80's funk gem. Hope this mix keeps you dancing over the weekend!

MURRAY HEAD

ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK
(ORIGINAL EXTENDED 12" VERSION)
(VINYLSHAKERZ XXL MIX)
(MARCUS LEVIN MIX)

One Night in Bangkok was released in 1984 by Murray Head. It was one of the main tracks in the 1984 concept album for the musical Chess, and was written by former ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with lyrics by Tim Rice. The release was a million-selling smash across the globe, topping the charts in many countries, including West Germany, Switzerland and Australia.

A dance version of the song was recorded by Robey in 1984, which peaked at #5 on the US Billboard Dance Chart later that year. However, Head's version went on to become one of the biggest sellers of 1985 in the United States, where it peaked at #3 in May of that year. In the context of its worldwide popularity, the song was a relatively minor hit in Murray Head's native UK, where it peaked at #12.
