Another classic? rediscovered by the Lab for your listening pleasure. Starring everyone's favorite hip hop cartoon character, Biz Mark digs through his crates for those forgotten but sometimes popping up on your parents' radio station late 70s dance classics. Biz Mark sets it off by declaring "This one is for the ladies of eighties... no nineties, with big hienies on WBIZ!" This ain't no break tape, so don't take it too seriously, in fact it's kinda cheesy. In fact, we can't stand half the shit on here, but the tape has a character that you won't get from any other tape: the scratched up records, Biz's random shouts, raw mixes, the selection?... Who knows you might get down to "Computer Love." Biz does a little tribute to Marvin Gaye with a "Sexual Healing, a Biz remix of What's Going On, and Mercy Mercy Me." Some cats we know love this shit, for example our friend Kenny bought a setup from us, went out and bought crate of these dance classics and now spins em out in bars. Love it. Hate it. You might hate it.
