LOLLIPOP'S INAUGURAL BALL MIX

 

No matter what your political leanings are, the eyes of the world are focusing on the historic political changes in America and Inauguration celebrations mean pageantry, parties and stars everywhere. In Washington D.C. alone, there will be no less than 58 Inauguration Day Balls, parties and events; ten of which will be attended by the president and first lady. But “the premier event of inauguration evening,” organizers say, will be the Neighborhood Ball at the Washington Convention Center. Hosted by the Obamas and geared toward D.C. residents.

If you are not planning on attending any of the events, don’t feel left out! Join me in honoring Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, with Lollipop’s Official 2009 Inaugural Mix. It’s a musical celebration featuring some of the hottest of-the-moment dance jams (and a classic or two) that I guarantee will make you feel patriotic (and a little funky!)

LOLLIPOP'S 1981 TOP TUNE MEDLEY

The 1981 Top Tune Medley is the first record I ever made. It is a collection of all the big dancefloor filling hits from my first nightclub in Chicago called "POETS" on 5 West Division Street.

When I produced this first medley, I was still learning all the tricks of editing. Also, all the songs used were hits during 1981. Some were released at the end of 1980, but my production was a sonic snapshot of what was packing dancefloors in Chicago that year.

I was 17 years old at the time and working with a fake ID that said I was 22 - I still can't believe I got away with it. lol. What fun. I was so niave. I just wanted to spin records for a packed dancefloor. I hope this brings back lots of great memories for you. I bet it will!

LOLLIPOP'S 1982 TOP TUNE MEDLEY

DJ LOLLIPOP (American DJ & Producer):

"Wow!!! I can't believe how many years have gone by since this landmark medley was created.  This was the second vinyl bootleg that I released.  It was released in January 1983.

At the time, I was spinning in Chicago at three different clubs… a straight hipster club, an elite gay club and an urban downtown club.  I loved it!  Each club had it’s own format/hits and very few tunes crossed over.  I loved playing down-tempo funk and R&B at a huge straight/urban club on Michigan Ave, pop and disco at an intimate straight/white club on Division Street and high energy and new wave at a chic, trendy gay club on Oak Street. 

Back in the early 80's, the nightclubs in Chicago did not cater to mixed groups of clientele yet… but the music did start to bring diverse groups of people together.  Some tunes would cross-over from one crowd to another like The Message by Grandmaster Flash which I played for months in the black club before it crossed over to white clubs, or Native Love by Divine which was a smash at the gay club before it crossed over to the straight clubs. In hindsight, the black clubs and gay clubs helped make songs pop crossovers.  I kept this in mind when arranging the song order.

I tried something new in this production – I used every dance hit that came out in 1982 –every single one of them. Black, white, straight, gay – any tune that made a crowd dance – regardless of it’s makeup, was included.  This led to some very eclectic (and surprisingly fun) song transitions.  Like the 1981 & 1987 medleys, this was all done with a pair of Technics 1200’s, a TEAC two track recorder, a razor blade and miles and miles of magnetic recording tape. 

When originally released on vinyl, the medley was broken up into two sections for a twelve inch record “A” and “B” side.  Here they have been edited together for your non- stop enjoyment.  Many of the songs in this production still pack a dance floor today – while others have faded almost into oblivion.  It's a good thing they are represented here and their place in dance music history accounted for.

I know you will love listening to this and I hope it bring back some great memories! For those of you too young to have experienced this in the clubs... too bad - it was an naive, adventurous, awesome time for music and probably the most memorable and magical time in my life."
