Various – Hot Tracks 1989 Year End Medley (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

As 2018 comes to a close and we begin a new year I thought it would be fun to post a set of medley’s that closed out the decade of generation X also known as the 1980’s. Hot Tracks was was an influential remix service that was  known for putting together great medley’s, the two featured here are no exception with Chris Cox and J.R. Clements at the mixing helm. Both megamixes feature some of the biggest club hits of 1989.

Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year!
