80’s Rap Radio – Electro Funk Premijera w/ Slavin Balen (1986) (T La Rock, UTFO…)

Phat Phillie:

(1986.) Early Hip-Hop show from Zagreb, Croatia (then Yugoslavia) station Radio 101. Hosted by Slavin Balen, the man responsible for introducing Hip-Hop to Zagreb. I started following his show back in late 1984 after hearing him play UTFO’s ‘Roxanne Roxanne’. This is a valuable piece of history, more tapes to come… In this show Slavin plays dope tracks from T La Rock & Mantronix, Egyptian Lover (his fav artist at the time), Vicious Rumor Club, UTFO, Beastie Boys, Latin Rascalz and goes a little back with Man Parrish’s ‘Boogie Down (Bronx)’. Dope tape!
