Yeah Buddy!
Back in the day after I had finished the Sunday paper round I used to get home, sometimes with a mate and we'd watch recorded highlights of the previous nights Hitman and Her usually taped on our top-loading VHS VCR with wire connecting remote control. The show was a late night clubbing show which toured various nightclub establishments around the country it was a really cheesey show as I think this video shows, but fun to watch at the time.
- please be aware no mullets were harmed during this live recording:
Anyway it was on this show that I first heard the classic 'Yeah Buddy by Royal House', I promptly bought the 12", one of my first and then this purchase also introduced me to Todd Terry who was responsible for lots of great records at the time. The music became more popular and was known as Hip-house. The following video playlist I've made contains a selection of Essential Hip-House from the era so Turn Up the Bass and enjoy...
