Flashback #2: Another new beat mix

This is another mix on a new beat/new wave tip. It starts of with Snowy Red's Euroshima, another classic new wave/new beat crossover, and a number of electro classics like The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight & Man Parrish's Hip Hop Don't Stop, takes in some later new beat classics like Space 3000 (an early R&S release) and 808 State's mindblowing Cubik, some modern electro sounds like Soulwax's Lovelight remix and the Subs, to end with Maurice Fulton's The Fly. Enjoy...



Tracklist

Euroshima - Snowy Red (ESSENTIAL!)
The Dominatrix sleeps tonight - The Dominatrix (edit) (New York no wave CLASSIC!)
Coitus Interruptus - Fad Gadget (CLASSIC!)
Enjoy the Silence (12" mix - edit) - Depeche Mode (CLASSIC!)
Fade to grey - Visage (CLASSIC!)
Hip Hop Don't Stop - Man Parrish (CLASSIC!)
Pump up the volume - MARRS (one of the first house hits across the globe)
Space 3000 - The Project (an early R&S release by label boss Renaat Vandepaepeliere and CJ Bolland)
Join in the Chant (edit) - Nitzer Ebb (recently remixed by Blackstrobe, but the original still rocks the hardest)
Your only friend - Phortune (haunting chicago house by DJ Pierre)
Love can't turn around (Boys Noize acapella)
TV Treated - Neon Judgement (a couple of years ago Eskimo released two of the Judgement's seminal hits, backed by remixes)
Cubik (original) - 808 State (together with Frank Dewulf's Acid Rock it introduced a harder rock sound in dance music; later on they rereleased a disappointing remix, so everyone was searching for the gold sleeved Extended Pleasure of Dance EP)
Zdarlight (Paranoid Asteroid mix) - Digitalism
Kiss my trance - The Subs (one of my favourite electro groups at the moment; it's kitschy but it works)
Lovelight (Soulwax remix) - Robbie Williams (another classic Soulwax remix)
Cactus Rhythm (edit) - Plexus (a killer tune; I've probably listened to this one a zillion times when I was a teenager)
Flat Beat - Mr Oizo (simple but still effective after all these years)
The Fly - Syclops (originally released on Tirk, but now rereleased on the DFA label - amazing)
