Hello and welcome back (a 1 2, a 1 2) to The Mix Machine.
Turning this week over to DAVO who shares with us...
Back in the day, when we were all babies, we were FRESH!!!!!! With no years of laurel to fall back on, we still had something to prove - we were hungry and always crying for food...
This slice of the DJ Red Alert pie is from a time early in his radio career on NYC's KISS-FM when he was growing and pulsating in ways that....WHOAA!!!!! Muthafukka could play the shit out of a record - no, really - PLAY THE SHIT OUT OF A RECORD like no one else on the NY airwaves - all to rokk the greater metro block party. If you smirk at the "pulsating" analogy, wait till Kool Keith's spit starts spinning around your ears like..... well - I'd better stop now...
Enjoy my scrappy old cassette recording, slightly enhanced - dated from early mid 80zzzz.

DJ Red Alert - Goes Bazerk! (63:44)
Thanks for the post. I think still have a few similar tapes from the 1980s I recorded from KISS-FM and Mr. Magic's Rap Attack on WBLS. One tape has L.L. Cool J segued into Kraftwerk's "Trans Euro Express."
