Hot To The Touch 282 lands — and this one is personal history.
For episode 282 I went back to the place where my ears got wired: 1988 / 1989 — that unreal hinge-era when sampling suddenly meant you could cut up the world and when Italy went from Italo to proto-house revolutionizers almost overnight. I’ve pulled 10 of my absolute favourite records from those two years — as they sounded when they were fresh, fierce, and not yet heritage.
These are the tracks that built my DNA as a DJ and selector. A pre-rave blueprint. The moment right before the floodgates of the 90s.
Press play — and step back almost 40 years.
