May 30, 2019

This week on the program, Jake Rudh is turning up the beats more than the guitars as he features tracks and artists from the late '80s and early '90s electronic dance scene. The movement has come a long way in the 30-plus years it's been around, and EDM certainly has become its own massive genre in itself, but this Thursday night, we're going way back to the beginning: back to the First Avenue Sunday-night dance parties; the old-school Minneapolis warehouse raves; and the days when fans and DJs went crate-digging. 808 State, Meat Beat Manifesto, Orbital, Utah Saints, the KLF and manby others are going to keep your feet moving and your brow sweaty. Join Jake Rudh this week on the dance floor.
