Miss Kitten and the Hacker’s “1982” may be a reference to the early days of techno, before it exploded on the European dance scene and the music and culture launched stars like Miss Kitten and her long-time collaborator The Hacker. “1982” helped springboard the electro-euro-pop scene in Europe and throughout the world.

Sex and Dancing and Drugs, Oh My! Yes, I AM all about electronic dance music on New Years Eve. Must be ’cause I spent most of my early 20′s in San Francisco and Oakland nightclubs, warehouse parties and raves til all hours. It’s been a gr8 year of music here! Thank you all for hanging, hope you have enjoyed my selections. Dj Hero, take us out.

Time to step it up toward New Years Eve. Here’s a funky electro-sexy pop ditty from Small Sins, AKA former Carnations singer Thomas D’Arcy. I love the production – it has some brilliant unexpected turns and the guest vocal by K-OS is gr8. Fans of Beck will agree. Hawt.

This little ditty is seriously makin’ me shake my stuff. Over an upbeat, poppy sound similar to Blur, the vocals and lyrics hit you like a stun gun. Echos of “Radio Clash” and other 80′s wonderfulness. It’s class war as dance party! And Hey! Brontosaurus is winning.
