Whitney Houston's new 12", "So Emotional", on Arista Records, ignites Disconet's New Year Blastoff '88. Once again Whitney does have it all; a number one record, a super remix, and a hot video to match. Mike Carroll's, Disconet version of "Love Will Save The Day" (Volume 9 Program 12) has become an instant classic. Now Mike has given us an exciting Megamix of "So Emotional" that will have them going crazy. "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" by Belinda Carlisle on MCA Records is next. Shep Pettibone, the Heaven sent Mixmaster, did the original commercial remix and now Dennis Muyet has created an edit for Disconet, that will have your floor high above the clouds.

The Mad, Bad, and Dangerous, Mark Styles returns with "Midnight Express". Mark and The Sunshine Crew, have once again created an exciting instrumental with a mean cutting edge bass line, electrifying keyboards, and driving percussion. So put the needle to the record and, as they say, "pump up the volume". Angelica Chaplin keeps things groovin' with "Sweet Talk", her new Polygram Records 12". "Sweet Talk" is a catchy R&B dance tune and a strong follow up to "Anyone Else" (Volume 9 Program 9), also on Polygram Records. Erotic Exotic keeps up the sweet talk, and promises "(I Can) Give You What You Need". This power driven percussive dance tune on Sutra Records should easily make it on the radio and in the clubs.
SIDE B RUNS: 5:29 at 126 BPM, 5:45 at 121 BPM, and 6:04 at 126 BPM.
