BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989
As 2019 comes to a close and we begin a new year I thought it would be fun to post a medley from a great remix service Rhythm Stick. This particular medley closed out the year 1988 and features thirteen plus minutes of some of that year’s biggest dance hits. It is taken from Rhythm Stick 1-1 the services first ever release. The track was mixed by legendary remixer Steve Bourasa who also worked for Hot Tracks, Direct Hit, and Ultimix just to name a few. Steve created this medley using practically every CD Rhyth Stick had in the house according to the releases insert. I hope you enjoy this record as we party into 2020.
Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year!
