Various – NRG-MIXXX Volume One Issue Four (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

NRG-MIXXX was a Pro DJ Only Remix Service based in Dallas Texas, produced by Tony Nunes & Wayne West. Each single record issue featured tracks, which were all digitally edited and remixed. As always, remixes found on these issues were original and never issued elsewhere.

With this issue you get a fun 16 minute Dead Or Alive “Nude Medley” as well as a great freestyle track from Alta Dustin and a housed up Taylor Dayne Medley.

NRG-MIXXX remix service which was active during the late 1980’s and early 90’s is now like many others no longer in operation.
