    Good Luck find a definitive comp. There really should be one covering the entire era.

    Essential



    Roll Bounce. Lee did did a very good job trying to capture that 77-79 vibe. Check the DVD.

    There's a gang of music that was "geared" towards RollerSkating, but I remeber cats just skating to whatever was hot at the moment.



    Essential.

    that comp is fire

  • Of course -- Dave Lee never touches a bad tune.

    Anything from that era should work in the BPM range of Bounce Skate Roll. Especially stuff rooted in Moog bass. Also early disco rap should work.

    I used to skate to electro in my day.

    There were many different re-edits of this track that are way better than the OG on the PI LP. e.g. Danny Krivit (JVC?). I also have a private reel to reel edit 12 that is more jazzy, but might work for rollerating.

    I apologize for all the silly drops all over the place, I did this mix over a year and a half ago. I'm now working on Volume 2, less drops, more FUNK!

    Body Work right? I like the drops! Real intricate production on that one, one of my favorite mixes from the last year or so.
