The New Dance Show: Detroit's delightfully lo-fi house and techno time capsule
Bet you can't dance like this
'Revenge Of The X-Men' Unknown DJ & DJ Slip
This sparse nature of this jammin' and primitive 1988 drum-machine track at the start of this video perfectly blends into the pumping display of scratchy Miami bass rap and intergalactic funk. Fantastic stuff.
The show plunges deeper into some '80s nostalgia that might be better off staying hidden, but the first seven minutes is a treasure of the highest quality.
'Bounce Your Body to the Box' Kevin Saunderson
This mix has it all! Techno, acid, house, hip-hop and some top-notch coordinated dances from The New Dance Show dance crew. Released in 1988, 'Bounce Your Body to the Box' (3:50) was Kevin Saunderson's debut single. It is safe to say that this video is some of the first documented evidence of people tearing up the dance floor to the now legendary techno artist.
Other notable tracks in the mix are 'Definition of a Track' (From Back To Basic) by Precious and 'We Got Our Own Thang' by Heavy D & The Boyz.
