My mate made this Electro mix tonight in lieu of our upcoming party as a promo teaser - will really get you poppin and lockin!

A few modern-ish ones!

Also if you like it on the dirty end of Electro into Techno this mix is still brilliant

Our paths may have crossed. Got to know STN through Steve Kerr (RIP) when he moved to Stevenage, through Steve met Jon, Tony, Nick, Darryl etc when we went to Bournemouth and stayed round Jon’s.

Discovered this one on Electro 12 and picked it up on 12" a few years ago. Not full on electro but one of those tracks that came out in a small window around 85-86 with a bit of that Freestyle sound that was so big in NYC. The label was an offshoot of Cutting Records so you can see how that happened.
Still love this now, not least for the line “my name is Mighty Mike, some people call me Steve” :smile:
Sounds like great rapping (for 86) right at the end too, which makes me wonder why its obscured by a beatbox and the announcers voice.

a couple more classics, starting with Blackpool’s finest - Section 25 ‘Looking From a Hilltop’, which ended up inspiring some US producers, and is beloved by Cut Chemist (see his IG post, which is an update on an old Wax Poetics article he did many moons ago)
