You mean "Jungle DJ", not the other way around... ;) I have it, but it seemed to me to be a fairly ordinary Disco record of its time. Maybe I should have another listen.
Anyone have "Techno Talk" by Overdrive from 1980, I believe? It was popular in Chicago, in its day (at least so I've been told, I'm from New York). I think it might be the first use of "Techno" in a song title. They explicitly refer to "Techno music" Just a thought. e Scatalogics 3240 46th ST #2B Astoria, NY 11103 www.scatalogics.com > From: Placid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2002 09:52:16 -0700 > To: <313@hyperreal.org> > Subject: Re: (313) first techno record > > Anyone got kikrokos dj jungle.....
