MANKIE ERIKSSON

It´s Friday and The Thorpe are almost healthy after my manflu, been totally off from now and then this week and with that, this weeks edition of VIBRANT SESSION have been delayed among writing on the blog among other stuff.

I will try to pay back lost time this weekend and especially today/tonight. 

Let´s Go!! 

The smooth sound from the 80´s in a fantastic mixtape by our favourite retro DJ of Mankie Eriksson, this is the perfect Pre-Party for you that love the classic sound. 

Pressrelease: 

It was not just the neon colors, New Romantic hairstyles and leg warmers that mattered in the 80s.It was also the decade when the modern soul and funk had it's breakthrough. With artists like Alexander O'Neal, Colonel Abrams, Kleer, Slave, Yarbrough & Peoples, Fatback, Time and many more. On this mixtape has DJ Mankie, who already was along then when this mix artists released their origal12inches of the 80s, tries to capture the beautiful, chill feeling of the 80 century's finest.
