SEPTEMBER FUNK
Barry Jones on London pirate Horizon Radio 94.5 FM presented the drivetime show for ages on the station, and each weeknight at 6pm he played the Mix at Six. A mastermix every day! This one is a Les Adams creation for the DMC September 1985 mixes LP, and it comes complete with dog bark sample. If you had a digital sampler in the eighties it was de rigueur to grab a dog off the street and record it barking. That, and making your sampler burp. Oh man, sample a burp and play it two octaves lower – you’ll sound like a drain.
UPDATE: Read the Radio Horizon story at their website (new for 2018!) . Heaps of interesting reading there, plus a growing archive of shows and jingles. Great to see the station’s history being kept alive. 33 years they’ve been off-air… wouldn’t it be just the loveliest thing to have Horizon back on the FM dial?
Tracklist: Royale Delight – (I’ll Be A) Freak For You, Pointer Sisters – Dare Me, Total Contrast – Takes A Little Time, SOS Band – Break Up, Shannon – Stronger Together, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force – I Wonder If I Take You Home, Dog – Bark.
