Kicking off with one of my all time favourite tracks Hashim’s ‘Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)’ from 1983. Often imitated, never bested. Such an influence.
Wish Key’s ‘Orient Express’ also from 1983. Italo, ElectroPop, Euro gold.
From 1981, Depeche Mode’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’. The track that started it all. No matter how many adverts you’ve heard it in the original is still awesome.
