Every single one of these Sparkle Motion mixes have been absolute money. This mix is certainly no exception.
Sparkle Motion are back with another speaker smasher for ya boomin' systems: 'Night Hype' takes it back to the days of stonewashed jean-jacket combos, doorknocker earrings, hi-top fades, 8-Ball jackets and customized Dapper Dan leathers.
During the late 80s/early 90s, R&B music was only just starting to flirt with a harder hip hop sound. Getting rappers to feature on R&B tracks was something very new at the time. Producers started moving away from polished record production to drum machine-backed rhythms that included hip hop influences.
This mix is dedicated to that era, and intended to seriously cold rock the hypest house or block party. Once you hit play, prepare for fly honeys and bass devastation everywhere. Word to ya muthaaa.

Gawd I love this stuff!
I just can't understand the current fascination with this style of 80s music. As a person who lived this era, I couldn't wait for it to be over. This type of synth-heavy, soulless black music was the nadir of all black musical expression.
Pure dopeness!!!
