Reviews & Discussion
electro was on a resurgence. 808's were big in 1988. these records were being played by a lot of bass jocks in detroit. pitched up and mixed with detroit electro and miami bass. techno kut releases took from the likes of kraftwerk, cybotron and early electro, and put their own stamp on the genre. dj slip, unknown dj, and professor x released classic records such as basstronic and revenge of the x-men.
