Electronic Pop | House
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.
So let me set the scence, the first person to show up to the recording studio is Michael Mcdonald, then next through the door is Toto (you know the super group from the 80’s) and the last group through the door is Daft Punk. What does this all mean, well it means if that really did take place, I imagine the end result would sound very similar to Grum’s new release, “Through The Night”.
Grum lifts a sample from Toto’s single “We Can Make It Tonight“and pitches the vocals down to Michael Mcdonald land and then infuses enough 80’s energy to make one want to see another episode of Miama Vice and tops it off Daft Punk style. Listen and you’ll see what i’m talking about.
Since the first 80’s playlist went over so well with so many of you, I thought I would complie a new one for the 4th of July, enjoy!
