This is a reworked version of the "Like A Prayer"30th Anniversary, by Fans, DJs, queens & whores π
The official 30th Anniversary corporate official release was a bit "out-of-touch" and excluded DJ remixes and tracks, appreciated and wanted by fans. So, the internet underground fans (deviants) "re-worked it" π for the ballroom!
"“⑩s! “⑩s! “⑩s! “⑩s! “⑩s! Across the board!"πππ₯π πππ
"Strike A Pose" Vogue is added here for the first time, recorded in 1989, same year as "Like A Prayer", but for commercial reasons, released only on the "I'm Breathless" soundtrack album.
An anthem for the Ballroom scene (POSE), and a dance anthem worldwide.
"Special Deluxe "Strike A Pose" Edition available here for a very, very limited time!
New! POSE (FX TV SERIES) SEASON 2
FX is striking a Pose on a new night: The networks acclaimed drama’s Season 2 US premiere is Tuesday, June 11 2019, at 10/9c.
Set in New York City’s underground ball culture, where gay and transgender “houses” faced off in makeshift fashion competitions, the upcoming episodes jump forward to the year 1990. “On the heels of the ballroom community establishing itself in pop culture and going mainstream, the House of Evangelista is forced to reevaluate their goals,” per the official synopsis. “Meanwhile, the AIDS crisis worsens and the reaction from a group of activists reaches a fever pitch.”
He’s a legend who’s recognised the world over and across the generations as the pioneer of electronic dance music. And here singer, songwriter and producer Giorgio Moroder invites us into his home in the Italian Alps to talk to us about his amazing career, demonstrate his art on his home studio keyboard and remember decades at the top of groundbreaking music production.
This year he turns 79 and is embarking on a world tour. His impact on popular music is huge and this programme attempts to work out what’s so special about his creations.
We hear about his musical roots and experimentation before examining what the Giorgio ‘magic’ brought to Donna Summer hits like Love to Love You Baby and I Feel Love. Her widower Bruce Sudano, who also worked with Georgio speaks about their relationship and the music.
Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Britney Spiers, Cher, Janet Jackson, Bonnie Tyler and Kylie Minogue are among the artistes who have worked with Giorgio. He’s produced many famous hits we all know - Together in Electric Dreams with Phil Oakley, Take My Breath Away with Berlin, Call Me by Debbie Harry - and for Flashdance - What a Feeling. And his talents are all over other film music too – most notably Midnight Express and Scarface.
Meanwhile a musical about the life of Donna Summer recently played Broadway. Kaleigh Cronin who took the role of Giorgio tells us what she drew from the music master’s personality in her bid to do him justice on stage.

Various – Dancing Under The Covers 4 Label: RPM – CDRPM 1357 Format: CD, Compilation Country: South Africa Released: 1993
"In the early 90s, the dance cover re-make was super popular with the CD buying public.
People wanted their favourite pop/dance songs which they previously owned on Cassette and LP on CD format, and welcomed newer sounding 90s dance productions.
A mountain of CD dance compilations were released, with tracks licenced around the world.
You would usually find a few "stand out" playable tracks on each of these compilations, and they sold in well.
I few years ago, I posted VOLUMES 1 - 2 & 3 in this Series
Thank you to Disco Lover for sending in this one - Volume 4!

VERY RARE UNDERGROUND KINKY ELECTRO ALBUM from 1982
Roy Garrett born Roy Samber in Newark, New Jersey arrived in New York City hungry to explore the sex and porn scenes he’d seen advertised in the Village Voice’s classified section. He danced in Times Square theaters The Gaiety, Ramrod, and Big Top before moving into adult film. From 1979 through 1983 Garret starred in ten films, five of them for Joe Gage, including his lead role in ‘Heatstroke’. Throughout this period of self-discovery, he wrote the suite of 48 poems that became ‘Hot Rod to Hell’. In 1982 he recorded and self-released the poems on cassette with haunting, atmospheric score by Man Parrish, who also did several soundtracks for Gage. The project was produced for the stage by Manhattan illu strator Robert W. Richards who calls ‘Hot Rod’, “a searing voyage through the labyrinths of modern male sexuality; its geography ranging from porn theaters to back room bars to the intimacy of shared beds. Only a man born at exactly the moment in gay history that Garrett was could have lived through and conceived this work.” Roy Garrett tells his stories of sex, violence, truth, and illusion, as visceral and personal a record as any of that moment in gay history pre-AIDS. Joe Gage, describes ‘Hot Rod’ as, “…sweet danger. This is a perceptive look at the underside of love. It is funny, scary, surprisingly moving and best of all, extremely acute in observing the specifics of the human condition.” By April 1992, Garrett would succumb to AIDS-related illness, aged just 37. All poems have been carefully remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The records come housed in a jacket designed by Gwenael Rattke and includes an 44-page full color magazine with all 48 ‘Hot Rod’ poems plus 44 previously unpublished poems from Garrett’s archive. All proceeds from ‘Hot Rod’ will be donated to Housing Works, a New York City based non-profit fighting the twin crises of AIDS and homelessness.
