HIP HOP MIX – SANNY-X
Late one 1986 Monday evening in the box room of a three-bed semi, an FM tuner is locked into 94.9 BBC Radio London. Dave Pearce broadcasts his ‘Fresh Start to the Week’ show. Tonight, a treat for the pause-button pushers – an electro / hip hop competion mix. ID all the tunes, call 01 486-7744 and win… something. Play and Record and Pause are down… release the pause, cassette whirrs… Now, 32 years later, this super happy b-boy mix has been re-discovered, digitised and shared. Shout out and respect to Dangerous Dave Pearce.
Unable to credit the mixer – no namecheck on the tape. If you know who created this, please share your wisdom.
UPDATE: Yes it’s a DMC mix, from the January 1986 Mixes LP. Simply titled ‘Hip Hop Mix’ it was expertly crafted by the sensational Sanny-X. It’s a real goody goody!
