DEAD OR ALIVE - SPECIAL MIX (Nonstop Version) (Soundz80s)

 Wicked, Love This.. Play Loud, like Insanely Loud

 

Following its 12" release exclusively in Japan in 1985, the 'Special Mix' quickly became one of the most highly sought after Dead or Alive remixes. Remixed by Kiyoto Araseki (荒関清人), whom at the time was the resident DJ at Shakamandara in Sapporo, Japan, 'Special Mix' features the newly-released single 'My Heart Goes Bang', as well as three cuts from 'Youthquake': 'DJ Hit That Button' and previous singles 'Lover Come Back to Me' and 'You Spin Me Round'. Araseki also provided liner notes for the Japanese 12" release of 'Brand New Lover', released November 6th, 1986.

Using the original mix, 'Special Mix' was digitally remastered by Ben., marking this as the first time the mix has been released online in HQ. The most popular upload of this particular mix on YT is another digital reconstruction, however it is not correct and does not follow the original mix, particular in the 'My Heart Goes Bang' section.

SO, WHERE TO FROM HERE?

 Hello and Welcome Back... So, Ive had a think over the weekend of what to do..

I'm NOT shutting down this site, If it does shut down it won't be from me..

I'm still going to do Soundz80s compilations and 80s compilations. I think Compilations are safe from being taken down than full artist albums... So I will still post these..

Compilations can sometimes take more than a day to complete so I may not post every day but something will be on its way shortly...

See how we go..

Back to the music shortly..

Michael xxx

THE SAD END

Hello and Welcome Back... Sadly, after 13 + years of posting music on this site Electronic80s / Soundz80s.. The time has come.

Overnight I got 38 Take-down notices for copyright from Google..

(one of the take-down copyright notice above)

I have noticed that there are albums I swear I have posted before on this site and they seem to have gone missing, now I know why.. I feel this might be the only the start of the large copyright snowball.

Its no use posting albums only to have them disappear overnight and if I keep doing it, they (google) will shut down the site.. I don't want the site to close, i've worked too hard to have that happen..

If you come across a album where the link no longer works, this would be why

So, where to from here?.. 

I have an idea and will work on it over the weekend and see if anyone is interested.. So, for now, enjoy what this site has to offer.. 

Stay Tuned

Michael
