Tribute to WAX TRAX!!!!!

No mix today since I DJ'd last night. Today I'm going to post a CD box set that I found the other day and forgot that I had this. It's the 3 disc box set of Wax Trax Records from 1994 called "BLACK BOX".

Black Box commemorates Wax Trax!'s output as an independent record label prior to its purchase by TVT Records. In particular, Black Box celebrates Wax Trax!'s place as the seminal American industrial label, featuring acts such as Ministry (and its numerous side projects), KMFDM, Meat Beat Manifesto, Coil, Laibach, and many others.

Black Box is notable for containing the Trent Reznor Vocal Version of 1000 Homo DJs' "Supernaut." Reznor's vocal recording was not used on the original Wax Trax! release because of pressure from his then-current record label — coincidentally, TVT Records. Absent from Black Box is the work of Front 242, whose releases on Wax Trax! (originally licensed from Play It Again Sam) are not represented because of disputes with Epic Records, which had recently obtained the rights to Front 242's catalogue.

How Slow Can You Go

The first mix on this blog was a downtempo mix. This time I want to slow it down again. All these songs are in the 99-101 BPM range. With this mix, I am also returning to more of a retro, new wave sound. Granted some may not be considered "NEW WAVE" but all would be played on a retro new wave night at any club. Hope you enjoy todays mix.

1. Smiths - How Soon Is Now (Long Version) 6:45
2. Soho - Hippychick (Original 12" Version) 4:31
3. Spandau Ballet - True (Funkymix Version) 10:15 (second part of the PM Dawn/Spandau Ballet Medley)

Number One Club Hits Of 1980

This is a theme I thought up while at work the other day. I thought it might be fun to try to create a mix of all the Number One songs that was played in the clubs in the year 1980. So, I pulled out my copy of "Hot Dance/Disco 1974-2003" by Joel Whitburn, turned to the back of the book to the Number 1 Hits section, found the year 1980, and started to create. This is what I came up with. Its my longest mix to date, running over 1 hour.

Hope you like it.
