MAN RECORDINGS INSPIRATION SERIES #17: THOMAS DOLBY

June 22nd, 2009

Thomas Dolby is one of the few white faces of 1980s electro funk. His “Hyperactive” was a long term anthem amongst European B-Boys with its slap bass and vocoder line. Besides his solo works – “She Blinded Me With Sciene” is another forgotten Euro electro funk classic – Dolby was employed for another B-Boy anthem, Whodini´s “Magic´s Wand” for which Dolby played the main synth line. South Bronx: Hyperactivate!

I just grabbed the Magic’s Wand 12″ the other day for a buck! I love that track so much, I play it out all the time. If you can’t get down to that beat, I don’t want to know you.
