A Blast From The Past (16) – DJ Stefano
DJ Stefano returns with A Blast From The Past (16), another expertly blended session that rides the line between soul nostalgia and pure dancefloor heat. This mix is a love letter to ‘80s funk, electro boogie, and early hip-hop—music that moves with purpose and heart.
It opens with Earth, Wind & Fire’s Fall in Love with Me—a lush, horn-laced intro that glides into Tramaine Hawkins’ Fall Down (Spirit Of Love), giving the set early gospel-soul fire. Patrice Rushen’s Never Gonna Give You Up keeps the vibe elegant and groovy, while Kool & The Gang’s Fresh punches in with that signature pop-funk energy.
By the time Electric Mind’s Can We Go kicks in, you’re fully locked into the rhythm. Yarbrough & Peoples follow with Don’t Waste Your Time, and the tempo stays tight with You Made A Change In My Life by The Bar-Kays.
At 25 minutes in, Zapp & Roger’s More Bounce to the Ounce shows up—and doesn’t leave. It even sets the foundation for EPMD’s You Gots To Chill, a seamless blend of electro-funk and golden era rap. Stefano doubles back into More Bounce briefly, reinforcing that groove before sliding into Michael Wycoff’s soulful Looking Up to You.
From there, it’s a non-stop ride: Gayle Adams’ Love Fever, Shannon’s Sweet Somebody, and Jocelyn Brown’s Love’s Gonna Get You form a trio of club classics that still go off. Then it’s P.Y.T. by MJ, and Let’s Groove by Earth, Wind & Fire—straight bangers with zero skip potential.
The mix winds down with chilled smoothness: L.T.D.’s Kickin’ Back and Quincy Jones’ Ai No Corrida close things out with class.
Stefano nails it again. This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a masterclass in feel-good funk. Throw it on, turn it up, and let it ride.
