Galaxxy - Where's The Beat

[@hardcorehouse]

One of the CLASSIC underground street east coast labels from back in the day; completely under-rated, off the radar. Lots of play in NYC.

There's 2 versions of this song by Galaxxy. One is version A and the other version B... both sound dope!

[@Damon_Fall-Guy_Mitchell]

Hey! Shante' was on Pop Art. I've never seen or heard from another artist on that label.

[@ToneAkahuero]

DOPE!!!!!

[@TASKHCS1]

THIS WAS UNDERGROUND PHILLY HIP HOP-NO AIRPLAY FROM HIP HOP ARTIST-BUT THIS WAS MADE FAMOUS BY STREET DJ'S & THE CLUBS. DJ TONEY B.

[@hardcorehouse]

Great underground Philly label remembered in NYC...NYC/Philly/NJ area the center of hip hop, rap, electro, house where it all started..

[@Khultan]

Wow, this one I never heard of but I certainly am familiar with the Pop Art Label.

[@jamesweston8226]

Love the synth work..wonder if the sh01 and the tr808 were in there...

[@SmashinAdams]

@jemiedub - Most of your picks were played in House mixes in the 80's in chicago & its vicinity. Was this song also?

[@MrRonadd]

Nice!

[@maxifighter_]

a bit like : ''Steps ahead''(Radio Active), from the 4th ''ELECTRO'' Album...

[@tommymc9791]

super beat

[@zzzdogutube]

thumbs^ thanks

[@daillmeskin]

Dana & Lawrence Goodman put on DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. I believe their first album Rock The House was put out on the Pop Art label before it got picked up by Jive Records.

[@hrmsmk]

i have this vinyl

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

this sounds like some west coast or Florida electro but I like it

[@hardcorehouse]

Actually, this is the ORIGINAL from the NYC/Philly area, whence came all the other Florida/west coast tunes.

[@Ultimatewarrior78]

If you like this track, please say your city and country

[@Underhills]

Sounds like Galaxxy have been listening to Paul Hardcastle who breaked into the charts earlier that same year. Or was this track released prior to 19"?

[@souporsonic]

ventende recalling Hardcastle was no earlier than '85

[@Underhills]

Bill Hunter Hardcastle released Daybreak (First Light) in 1984. This record was published same year. Roland had a drum machine that was made the same year, so I guess that's where the resembling is. He later released Zero One with Universal funk that also really utilized the same drum sound that's used here, it was popular with oldskool hiphop acts as well. Like Bambaata and more, around the same period in 1984/85. Renegades of funk for instance. It was very inspired from that electro style that was adopted from Kraftwerk in the 70's, they had a similar drum sound going on way earlier but sound like they also switched to this exact drum characteristic with Music Non Stop and all that stuff.

[@souporsonic]

thx 4 that, i wasn't aware of anything he did b4 rainforest

[@hardcorehouse]

NYC/Philly/Nj area was the center of the world for hip hop, rap, electro, house; all the Euros and everyone else went there for inspiration..the 808 and Memorymoog/Prophet synth sound all over those records started in the early 80s with tracks like Planet Rock, that also went on to inspire Detroit techno.

[@memeagain4106]

hardcastle was in 1985.. his first tune was "19" NUNUNU... NINETEEN

[@tic920]
