Strut x Trevor Jackson present: Metal Dance - Industrial, Post Punk, EBM Classics & Rarities 80-88
Former Output Recordings man behind the curtain, Trevor Jackson, was hired to curate the latest Strut compilation to be out soon entitled, Metal Dance. The compilation is of Jackson’s favorite Industrial, Post Punk, EBM tunes when things were still funky. I always found it interesting that a lot of early Industrial was more Hip Hop / Funk based than people would think. Listen to Ministry’s “Work For Love” as an example or give A Certain Ratio a spin and hear some of the funkiest un Funk music ever.
Though Jackson digs a little deeper than my two examples, I use them as really strong ideas of what was going on in the hybrid sound coming out of the early 80’s.
As a special bonus Jackson put together a mini mix of the upcoming release.

The Death of Output by DJ Food
Back at the end of 2006, when Trevor Jackson’s Output Recordings folded, I put together a 3 hour tribute mix of my favourite tracks. This went out as 3 separate mixes on Solid Steel and I even made a very limited number of facsimile Output CDRs of the mixes. I’ve recently had requests to upload it again so, by the miracle that is Soundcloud, it’s available. I’ve also edited it into one piece finally and the track list is embedded in the Lyrics section of the mp3.
