Burning The Ground Exclusive 1988
I love Hot Tracks Remix Service and their exclusive single artists medley’s so I thought it would be a blast to spotlight this medley that the Hot Tracks team put together for one of my favorite female artists “The Queen Of Cool’ Jody Watley who was a force to be reckoned with in the mid-eighties and nineties garnering 6 Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten Singles, 13 Number 1 Dance Singles, 2 R&B Number 1’s, 15 Top 40 Singles, This medley spotlights some of the hits from her debut self-titled LP.
In addition, I also created front and back sleeve art for this one.
From the issue linear Notes:
Teaming up with Hot Track’s editor/contributor, Glenn Cattanach, Louisville area DJ’s Mike Runge and Glenn Bennison worked over a month mixing “Looking For A New Medley.” Combining the mixing skills of Mike and Glenn Bennison, with the production and editing talents of Glenn Cattanach, they produced this medley exclusively for Hot Tracks subscribers. The team used the “Kentucky Multi-Track” technique throughout and the result is 9:11 pure R & B dance floor excitement. Mike Runge, from Jeffersonville, Indiana (Louisville area) is the on-air DJ for 99.7 WDJX’s Saturday Night Hot Mix and works various clubs in the area. Glenn Bennison spins at Louisville’s hottest nightclub, “Splash.” Special thanks to Michael Lewis and Joseph Watt.
DJ’s note: No VCR is required to play this Jody Watley medley. Just drop the needle and party!!
