T La Rock "the Breakdown"
yes
one of my favorite producers from that era.
Bassline =
not too much in to his later stuff though.
King Of Beat is dope as hell. What totaly freacked me out was that I knew "The Power" by Snap before I heard "King of Beats". So I knew the drumbreak but I never knew thad the cowbelish hihat sound that is triggered in 16th is the fucking cowbell from "Mardi Gras" He is a genius.
And yes, "come into my life" is also one of my most favourites song of 80s R'n'B.

One of the tunes that gotme thinking maybe hiphop wasn't that bad!
Don't front on:
-"Get Stupid, Fresh"-Mantronix.
-"Bass Machine"-T La Rock.
-"Put that Record Back On"-Just-Ice.
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
T La Rock - Back to Burn
Antoinette - Take it from the Top
"Come Into My Life", "All N All", "Lifetime Love"... those were all Mantronik productions, weren't they? Man, I loved all that schitt. Especially "Come Into My Life". Joyce was one of those singers that really didn't have much of a voice, but she complimented those tracks well.
Oh memories... 14, moving to the states with fam and leaving my girl. She was 15 and hot. That was our tape!
I love this.
I don't have my twelve inch at hand but I remember Hungry For Your Love actually being a Kurt Mantronik WRITTEN sond, but surprisingly neither produced nor mixed by him.
Am I wrong?
