Before drum machines, before MIDI, and before samplers there were beautiful records created by talented musicians.  During the period of ’78-’79, the foundation for the soon to emerge Hi-NRG, Boogie & House genres were being laid.  Lollipop’s Roller Disco Armageddon is a musical snapshot of this period - taken just barely before “cool” became cliché.  This mix perfectly captures the glossy, last gasps of a genre soon decimated by commercialization.
Of course, no official roller disco soundtrack would be complete without soaring, symphonic strings, scratchy guitar, plucky bass and sexy, growling horns.  The unique experience of the amplified disco sound in the roller rink is also accurately re-created with the assistance of a custom-programmed acoustic reverb mirror.  This podcast mix faithfully highlights songs that packed the skating rink floor and raised the energy level through the roof.  
With an incredible playlist mostly exiled from pop-disco radio programs, many of these “one hit wonders” and the rare 12 inch versions had to be lovingly transferred from my personal vinyl collection to authentically recreate a magical Saturday night at the legendary Hub Axle Roller Rink.
I know you’ll enjoy this mix.  For some of you, it’ll bring back heart-warming memories and for those who missed it, here is your contextually-correct opportunity to experience it for the first time.  Lace 'em up tight – it’s an “All Skate Armageddon!”
