Description:Electro compiles the best from the 1980s birth of hip hop when it burst on to the world music scene from a head spinning, ghetto blasting, graffiti spraying New York City. These early electro beats and looped breaks produced classics like Planet Rock, White Lines and artists like Run DMC and the Beastie Boys as well as providing the template for today’s urban sound. This is an essential purchase.
