What a fun way to end a week of New Wave obscure records than with an obscure New wave Medley.

Mark ‘Hot Rod’ Trollan, DJ’ed at Medusa’s in Chicago in the 1980s and produced and remixed various singles in the mid-eighties.
He passed away on December 19, 1986, after contracting the AIDS virus.

Hi Paul, Let me praise you again for ripping this monster of a mix. This is music I love the best, music that’s on the edge, provocative and tough as nails. I really hope that others will seek out these artists and become new fans. Also I want the world to appreciate the talents of disc jockeys across the globe and to relish the memories of great, past remix services. I can’t thank you enough for these and other presents over the years. They are amazing musical time capsules that need to be cracked wide open to experience their ferocity… Read more »
Thank you so much, Jeff 🙂
Brilliant as always.
YOU ARE THE FUNKMEISTER, PAUL 🙂 Great Hot Tracks megamix. As you know, I am a nut for megamixes. Have listened to, recorded, collected and re-edited Ben Liebrand Grand Mixes and “In The Mix”es for more than 30 years now and I also love Hot Tracks and Razormaid and everyone else out there doing their own private remixes and megamixes. Such craft, such dedication and originality. Love it. Re-editing (I won´t say “remixing”) is one of my hobbies. When I listening to some 12inch version and I think that some parts should have been done differently or in a different… Read more »
You’re very welcome, Song And Dance 🙂
Paul, it’s always amazing that you share these really amazing megamixes with us. I’ve been collecting them since the 80’s and just love the whole concept behind a “megamix”. There are so many obscure ones that many don’t get the spotlight thrown on them. Thanks to you, this wonderful mix made it into our ears! Thanks so much for doing these wonderful megamix rips and I look forward to the many more megamixes you will share in the future. Stay well and stay safe! Greetings from Sri Lanka.
You’re very welcome I have always loved Megamixes so I do enjoy posting them. Satay well 🙂
Very cool Paul I really appreciate this.
You’re welcome 🙂
where are the other tracks? you put the disc halfway friend paul?
I only ripped the medley.
TRUTH
Ear-gasmic Paul!!!! Like you said, this is a fun way to end the week of obscure records with a mega-mix of, mostly obscure and/or forgotten musical gems. I had shivers of excitement to see this come up. You are an “audio angel” (or digital demon!) to bring this out as it is something I’ve always wanted to hear but never got the chance. Seeing the track listing, it almost reminds me of something Razormaid! would have turned out. So many cool songs are here, ones that I have heard of and some new surprises. Gosh, Foetus Art-Terrorism is here, along… Read more »
Thank you, Jeff I knew this had you written all over it! I love these Hot Tracks medley’s so much hard work and talent went into each and every one of them. I love when people like you really understand and care about what it took to create these masterpieces that are now pretty much lost. I hope others will enjoy them as much as you. Have a great weekend. 🙂
