‘Planet Rock’
Tommy Boy – 1982
*Video: Africa [sic] Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force – “Planet Rock” (Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDiSgeGCAq0 // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Rock_(song) // “Planet Rock” is a song by the American hip hop artists Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force. The song was produced by Arthur Baker and released by Tommy Boy Records in 1982. The recording came together after DJ and producer Baker met with Bambaataa and the two bonded over the idea of creating a song about their mutual appreciation for the band Kraftwerk, along with inspiration from Yellow Magic Orchestra, Gary Numan and George Clinton. Baker and Bambaataa had worked together previously on the song “Jazzy Sensation” and decided to compose a more electronic based version of the hip hop song with Roland TR-808 beats, as opposed to the more disco-oriented work popular at the time. Along with musician John Robie, the group recorded the single at Intergalactic Studios in New York. Robie duplicated the sound on the record and had Bambaataa’s rappers in the Soul Sonic Force rap over it.*

However, due to recent events come to light – it turns out that the elite are very much actually the devil incarnate, baby-eating pedos. What a fucking surprise! They had no souls to sell in the first place.” Also they just canceled their entire world tour due to a misdiagnosed brain injury lol. The single is available now via City Slang.*
