{"product_id":"cd-various-soul-jazz-records-electro-throwdown-cd","title":"Electro Throwdown","description":"Soul Jazz Records’ new collection, ‘Electro Throwdown - Sci-Fi Inter-Planetary Electro Attack on Planet Earth 1982-89’, is a journey into the outer reaches of electro, a galactic roller-coaster ride of turbo-charged sci-fi grooveology.\u003cbr\u003eThe album is comprised of mainly private-press and independent label electro jams of the highest calibre (with some as rare as space ships landing on Mars) all created in the 1980s, at a time when a vocoder, a Roland TR-808 drum machine and a groove was all that was needed to get the party started.\u003cbr\u003eWith a few notable exceptions (Michael Jonzun’s Jonzun Crew and The Packman) the album features mainly under-the-radar killer tracks from a host of one-off artists and back-room electronic pioneers – including Pretty Tony, Planet Detroit (James McCauley, aka Maggotron) and Rich Cason – who together helped shape the sound of electro across the USA from Miami to New York, Los Angeles and beyond during the 1980s.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40422195495113,"sku":"447104","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/447104-Product-0-I-638917030756820865.jpg?v=1756111601","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/cd-various-soul-jazz-records-electro-throwdown-cd","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
