Do It Again - That ElectroNuRock Sound!

For today's set, you will hear mostly the Roland TR-808 drum machine recognizable in almost all of the tracks used. The Roland TR-808 , a legendary drum machine created in the 1980s, also acts as the base of a specific track for broken, syncopated rhythms. The instrumentation for this type of updated retro sound is highly funk-style simulated bass lines, sequenced or appregiated synthetic guitar riffs and unheard sound effects, all created with synthesizers.

What started off in the 80s still continues up to now especially with the proliferation and revival of everything that is 80s, from music to movies to fashion to pop culture.

Expect the most prominent artists of this genre for today's set like A.R.E. Weapons, Para One, Felix da Housecat, Dirty South and Benny Benassi. Have also heavily utilized plenty of effects such as filters, delays, reverbs, phasers, flangers, samplers and scratches all incorporated in the mix.

Now for the tracklisting:
1) Walking Blues - A.R.E. Weapons (Thomas Troelsen Remix)
