This track takes me back to school ground break dancing sessions. In middle school, this really amounted to kids spinning on their head or pop locking at lunch break but was always a highlight to my day in school. You Dropped A Bomb on Me was released back in 1982 and reached reached #2 on the Billboard R&B charts. This is classic example of merging funk with electro.
Year of the Tiger – Electric
Named after the 2010 Chinese New Year, Year of The Tiger sent a sultry electro track that reminds me of one of my beloved Goldfrapp’s tracks, “Strict Machine” but with more of a rock edge to it.
Year of The Tiger is Sable & Henry who appear to have only started producing music together since December of 09. In a word, “WOW”. Excellent production adorns all their tracks, and Sable’s voice has that bit of edge that I always love from a vocalist. You don’t know if she wants to beat you up or wants to seduce you, but either way it’s going to be exciting.
“Electric” comes off Year of the Tiger’s recently finish five track EP.

Mustard Pimp – Cherry (ft Kali) Mustard Pimp Dark Remix
Here’s a banger for the electro crowd. Love the old school “rave” influence on this track, reminds me of the rave parties of the 90’s.
