Same! I was 13 when this song was recorded on cassette and blaring outta my boom box. In New Orleans we called them jam boxes. Speaking of boxes, I can still feel the smoothness of that cardboard laid out on the concrete! Parachute pants, bandanas EVERYWHERE, in all kinds of colors, yet not one of those colors signified anything. The only thing we were affiliated with was the music, the breakin, the graffiti writing, the fashion, the culture. I'd give up every modern technology and "comfort" if I could go back to 1984
I used to breakdance to this in my teens. Pop City Breakers was the name of my crew. Those were the days. Loving life and feeling free, no worries in the world 😊😉
kidding me,, i have been listing to this shit since it can out,,, i grew up to dance, rap, and the free style genre, this bumped in 1984,,, i graduated in 86,, was bumping NWA,,,Beastie Boyz and 2 live Crew be4 most ppl knew who they were,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,almost 56 and I still ROCK this shit
The very first piece of music that made a lasting impression and has never been forgotten after all these years. Since 1985 Thank you for being a part of growing up❤❤
I've been thinking about the lyrics a lot, "So you believe everything you see, cause you're watching the world on a color tv" This is so true, the lyrics is actually very deep 🤔
This, along with ‘Computer Age/Push The Button’ by Newcleus have my on the verge of TEARS whenever I listen to them, totally unable to contain my ecstasy!!!
1984 jammin / practicing with our crew in my friend's dad's garage, doing tuts and glides because of the tune,.... patent leather converse hightops ....ya ya people. 30+ years and still poppin, once a popper always a popper.
Free style electric funk is better than any of that trash that they play today,its in a class by itself,unequalled and unparalleled and un challenged to date,It has its own entity,And 30 years of listening to this type of music,I've yet to find anyone that can duplicate it,equal it,or anything imaginable.
Man! I use to breakdance off this here song and radio active all of them and for some reason my son started break dancin... Thank God he was exposed to the music I rocked through out his and my life! Go TURBO shrimp who was my mentor... and Ozone... lol!
Thankyou Twilight 22 for making music so good that I still play it.. Wonderful. I played this track when it first came out in London and mixed it with Siberian Nights and I`ve never seen a dancefloor erupt so much. I`m still mixing them. Fantastic!!!!!!
@@0001BIGBROTHERseesyo I remember breakdancing in brooklyn ny , when it first hit the streets, literally. The kids were fantastic and were having so much fun breaking on cardboard or paneled wood, spinning their asses off. It was great back then.
@Gaylord Cohen;I used kill Missile Command on my Atari 2600!! Speaking of the Cold War;do you remember the frightening 1983 TV movie:"The Day After"?!?"
1984, 7th grade in Saginaw, MI, breakin' with my crew in the back hallway at the CAS every single morning. This joint, Electric Kingdom, and Newcleus' Computer Age (Push The Button) would be blasting out of my little Panasonic cassette deck. Good times.
@@TravelerStratus there's a style in Brazil called '90's funk', wich is based in this beat-types. Search for "rap do solitário" ir "rap do Silva" and you Will understand what Anderson os talking about
@@joaopaulodarosa1048 When Electro was introduced in Brazil, mainly the North American style that was a mixture of 70's funk with Kraftwerk's German Electro, mainly the classics Trans-Europa Express and Nummers served as sound percussion to materialize the Electro genre. With the North American merger, Electro became known as Electro-Funk or Electro-Boogie. In different countries the name changes, and in Brazil Electro-Funk was abbreviated just as Funk, serving as the name for the later strands of Electro. Abroad, this style is not recognized with the single term of Funk, especially in the countries that gave rise to Electro.
I Remember This Song Back In The Early 80s During The Cold War Between The US And Russia And All I Could Think About Was Nuclear War Breaking Out And Having To Go Fight In Siberia
Shit..i think i was 11..this.. electric kingdom..Egyptian lover.. it all had us trying drill our way through the concrete. In 6th grade we'd have break battles using the painted 3rd base on the kickball court to spin on. ...any1 remember that crazy song "einstein EINSTEIN" ?
twilight 22, true pioneers along with bambataa and before them kraftwerk. i wore this tape out back in 83. this is the type of electro that will never sound dated to me. it's all built on basic 808 beats, but the production and the dope ass synths are timeless.
Thanks my friend! I miss them dance of Break dance battles, the energy and adrenalin running through my veins before the battle, our crew all pumped up and believing we are the best. The rivalry towards the other crews who stood before us, the focus of our minds, our masking of our excitement looking and being serious as fuck, waiting, waiting for the music to kick off, everyone twitching wanting to release this ever increasing energy and adrenalin and determination to bust the floor. ....Then the music kicks in big style and I burst into the circle with Top Rock and attitude, mocking the other side, to then bust my aerobic signature moves and burn around the floor like a lose firework!! Loved them special and unique times and the vibes created with music like this tune! Respect to you and peace my friend!!
Big respect Corey!! I can still break and have run break dancing workshops for disadvantaged kids. To see them learn a move after you have showed then gives me so much satisfaction.
The Egyptian-Lover's influence, along with Kraftwerk and Grandmaster = dope-ass old-school beats that i grew up with. (and throw-down your cardboard, bitches, back then...). I was white, then,as I am now, and I still suck, but I remember, and give props to that era...jonzon-crew too. Al-naafish and sir-mixx, too.. Capitol Hill, Sea-town,by way of San Fran!
This is so Great Gordon. I´m feeling so young now. You know that your Sound was running all over Europe. I have to know that. I was German DJ Champion 1987 and played your Records everywere I was spinning :-) What about a 2010 Version of it? Would like to do a remix.
Thank you guys for still listening to our music! Gordon Bahary (a/k/a Twilight 22)
