The Unknown Dj - Let's Jam 1985

[@tweek9Arts]

If you grew up around Djs like I did..You know tracks like this exist..

[@antonraphael70]

Early electro was part of the foundations of Hip Hop. More than just a trend.

[@MaxMustermann]

Techno Hop/Oldschool Electro. Throwback into the year 1991 for me.

[@samuelspoons3553]

I love finding rare Electro tunes from 1985-1988 from places like L.A., Miami and Detroit5

[@kwez211]

You have uncle jamms army yes yes ,yes?

[@djkingarthur1079]

Let’s Jam takes me back to KDAY Radio Mix Master Jamin Gemini. Techno Hop Music at its finest

[@deejaydfc]

I have this on Vinyl. I'm from the VERY old school of Hip Hop = 1983.

[@bleedinant]

You should have your own KZbin channel

[@bonydox9]

I love this stuff from back in the days. No hate just skills.

[@djjonmaby3995]

nothing like today hip hop if you can call it that

[@ElGUIRRILLERO1]

THIS IS OLD SCHOOL THE REAL HIP HOP !!!

[@CeeDust]

Incredible still after 30 years.

[@TheGrifys]

mant thanks Mike Allen Capitol Radio 1st time I heard this track

[@bonydox9]

But he never played it all the way to the end.

[@antonraphael70]

Electro! All day long - part of the fundamentals of 80's Hip Hop, especially when B-Boying.. 'breaking' came to prominence in the early to mid 80's.

[@remostar3500]

Miss that West Coast hip hop sound, I remember when this came out we were jamming this beat

[@archieamsterdam9993]

i love hearing these old tracks, i was always in search of the electric boogie , hip hop and so on , in holland, but it was very hard to get these records in the 80's , they were very expensive, and hard or not to get. bless the internet so i can still hear them after all this time, THX for putting this on the tube

[@kwez211]

I can give you suggestions that's all I would listen to

[@TheTankUK]

First bought this from Groove Records in Soho London. Those were the days!

[@maccagrabme]

Me too, same place.

[@krschanserokOnE]

classic lyrics and beats it don't get any better yo'

[@BF3Fan4life]

No, Oldschool Electro... Man back in the days in the beginning of the 90's I was breakdancing to this stuff... Great music!

[@dherbster48]

Dang, I have been searching for this song for 20 years or more

[@rob191270]

Just a BEAST of a track!!!!!

[@antonraphael70]

Hip Hop is an entire culture - Electro music as a style is part of Hip Hop for sure, just as is breaking and graffiti... it's all street level art (Hip Hop).

[@cosmicjayofficial]

Whatever dude your over thinking

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

I.first brought this from Fresno California from a brother on a fly bike I love to mix with Paul hardcastle

[@user-tr4ly6ub6v]

The best music of my life I heard in Fresno growing up. I learned to pop hard, too, I couldn't break because of a bum knee I had, so I had to develop poppin' skills. We had battles at the Dickey Center, I remember the attention and the camaraderie, me and my friends even "camped" in the alley near Belmont & Blackstone. Right next to the building where the doctor was tortured and murdered, in fact. That was my neighborhood, sadly.

[@MaxMustermann]

Back in '91 we called that "Electro Hop".

[@TheCocoaDaddy]

The roach, the roach, the roach is on the wall..... :D Thanks for posting!!!!

[@tnt90s]

@3:33 You know it's time to place down the lino! When that beat starts rolling, bam! My favourite part. One of the most underrated electro tracks of the '80s I reckon.

[@mrmanuelinla]

Thanks 😊

[@rudytormento9753]

@@mrmanuelinla Answer from the man himself! Wow!

[@adan2017]

The best and always freshest!

[@volatilemolotov]

the lyrical flow sounds curiously like Ice T's in that Breakin soundtrack cut "Wreckless". Damn i love Techno Hop!

[@AgeofMachines]

If I had 3 wishes I would give away 2..... Aaaaaah the memories! Good looking out with this post!

[@macdogq]

Used to mix this with Egyptian lover, and "Lady's and Gentleman".

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

I believe the unknown DJ is the Egyptian lover in his 808 magic beat machine

[@mrmanuelinla]

Not true. Greg is no where near as handsome as Andre Manuel 🤣

[@petermeichan3160]

two completely different artists mn

[@RajaArumugasamy]

80s electro classic label. 😊😊😊

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Good explanation, really. Electro Funk was one of the first categories of Hip Hop music, after Disco Rap.

[@BF6ct]

Whatever happened to days like this?

[@BF3Fan4life]

Brings me back to 1991...

[@giodcmon7279]

excellent . .

[@palomino13]

i had a mixtape from LA that cut this the hell up for a long time. then blended in jamie jupiter.with that bell, damn. i wish i could here that again.

[@mrmanuelinla]

[@Tayo39]

[@Tayo39]

[@rgb404]

BPM on the label...Classic!!

[@dabig25]

I think I still have this record

[@TheDoctorCrack]

one of the best!!!

[@daillmeskin]

Always loved how these labels like Techno Hop, Kru Cut and Strong Arm looked. Just ghetto & homemade lookin, nothing fancy!!! That's what hip hop is supposed to be!!!!

[@mrmanuelinla]

Darryl Davis is the graphic artist.

[@georgehorn1970]

This is Andre Manuel for those who think otherwise. Call the number on the label. I dare you lol-GSH

[@raymondgomez824]

A true West Coast jam

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

I bet that they used to BLAST this wax at the Zodiac club that used to exist in Columbus, Georgia back in the day....😂

[@hamansutra]

“Cause i am the Master of the 808 so beat this!”

[@nettoobe]

3 people know they're not ready.

[@blackpower6037]

I wish Dj Unknown would have released the real hip hop songs on the first artist he signed to techno hop records Jazzy Dee was Dope

[@MattPurser]

her clothes fit her body like white on rice....best line ever

[@birdy369]

i miss when raps actually told stories like this. painted a picture.

[@codychavarria6088]

[@nettoobe]

@rtwow to quote the X-Men "we have heard techno attempted and yet sadly you have failed - let's just stick to vice miami, leave the techno to LA".. (also, you should fix your shift-key, it seems to be stuck)

[@155DJJ]

OLDSCHOOL ELECTRO FUCK YA!!!!!

[@blaqjoker253]

DopeNess

[@csang618]

nah its called HIP HOP

[@rtwow]

@zodogy THE ROACH IS ON THE WALL......WTF

[@OlSkOul]

people post really stupid comments!!, I know very well that its old school, look at my channel you will see other "OLD SCHOOL"electro sound from the 80´s

[@bedlumproductions]

This was NEVER Techno. Just pure Electro Funk.

[@GoodVibesOnly207]

the start of freestyle

[@milkee798]

West Covina

[@antonraphael70]

I wouldn't class Jean Michel Jarre as electro. Yes it's electronic music just as The Human League is but it's not classed as Electro. The Electro sound should have elements such as funk/break orientated drum pattern - example 'Tour de France' by Kraftwerk or 'Rock It' by Herbie Hancock. This is what gives it the sound that breakers can dance to. Thus becoming part of Hip Hop culture.

[@OlSkOul]

No it´s called ELECTRO!!!!

[@Brakersify]

is that a quote from Simon Pegg in "Shaun of the Dead"? LOL if so

[@user-ik7mg8th8r]

Oldschool Electro or Techno Hop.

[@mrmanuelinla]

I say both but hey I'm just one DJ. BOSSANGELES Y'ALL😎

[@HypnoticHollywood]

[@morealvesalbes5761]

[@marcelilic6833]

[@shotguntwan217]

[@georgehorn1970]

Morealves Albes this was recorded in LA. But, it does have a Miami bass sound. Music has no borders.-GSH

[@raygomez8808]

This is an L.A. jam West Coast style

[@TheKevzero1]

YEP..

[@lindablouin5530]

[@pking1981]

linda blouin lol maybe to people like you.... Compton's Most Wanted

[@MrBiglove67]

@rtwow YET YOU CANT PRODUCE NOTHING. L.A. WILL ALWAYS BE HOT.

[@rtwow]

@rob191270 IT IS WORSE THAN WACKED

[@silasch11]

I must disagree with electro-hip-hop connection, adverting to Jean Michel Jarre :) or was his music not electro? enlighten me, please..

[@wagsouza3459]

BAD !!!

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]
