Say what you like, but Mechanical Animals is the one Manson album you actually need. Melodic, conceptual, cohesive — and the visuals stay slick, album art to videos. Pure pastel nihilism and alien‑pop swagger. #marilynmanson

Ray of Light hit like a shift in the air. Frozen set the tone with that stunning Cunningham visual, and decades later the album still hasn’t aged — maybe it’s that blend of electronic textures and live instruments. #madonna #rayoflight

First track is the whole reason I pulled up, if you know, you know… But Say You Love Me goes crazy. Big vocals, big feelings, no playing cute. Jennifer Holliday belts like she’s shaking the paint off the walls. #jenniferholliday #sayyouloveme

Proper floaty business from Orbit — all warm synths, soft pulses and that early‑90s glow. Strange Cargo III still glides like a late‑night wander when the world feels lighter. Pure magic. #williamorbit #strangecargoiii

Nina Hagen’s 𝙉𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙭𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙠𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙠 is straight‑up cosmic mayhem — punk, opera, and Berlin weirdness smashing together at full speed. One minute cartoon demon, next alien diva over post‑punk rubble. Messy, theatrical, mad original. Pure avant‑madness. #ninahagen #nunsexmonkrock

Some Police to start the day. 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙚 might be rinsed but still a classic — the real gem is 𝙒𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝘼𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧, all cold groove and quiet power flex. #thepolice

Cyndi storms the dancefloor on Bring Ya to the Brink, teaming with Basement Jaxx, Axwell, Kleerup, and The Scumfrog for a late‑00s electro glow‑up. Wild, joyful, and still hitting hard. #cyndilauper

Roger Rabbit dropped like a bomb — too spicy for Disney, too wild to tame. Silvestri’s score still slaps harder than anything the Mouse cooked since the 90s. #whoframedrogerrabbit #alansilvestri #soundtrack

30 years of All Eyez on Me and it still moves like a fresh flex. “California Love” stalked me everywhere, but the deeper cuts stayed breathing room. Wild how nowadays folks rock 2Pac tees without knowing five songs. Headache material. #2pac #alleyezonme

Still buzzing that I saw Diana Ross live last summer — was hyped the moment Paris was announced. Celebrating 50 years of her ’76 album: classy cover, iconic switch‑up on “Love Hangover,” still the blueprint. Japan press = pure sound pleasure. #dianaross

With the shitty weather lately, I needed some sunshine in the house, and this album delivers. Warm horns, rolling percussion, and pure joy. No trends, just culture and groove. Decades later, it still hits. #gloriaestefan

40 years on and Control still feels futuristic. Jam & Lewis built a whole universe. Pleasure Principle stays my fave, never skipping Let’s Wait Awhile. Time really flies. #janetjackson #control #control40

In ’91 the Chili Peppers bottled sweat, funk & chaos into Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Everyone knows Give It Away & Under the Bridge, but I ride with If You Have to Ask & Funky Monks. Still untamed, still burning. #RHCP

Dodged that sloppy vinyl rollout — not dropping 40€ for mid audio. CDs play clean. Hit n Run Phase One is Prince in mad‑scientist mode, bending funk and pop like rules don’t apply. #prince #hitnrunphaseone

The first three albums are essential for any trip‑hop/electro head — you’ve heard their sound in films and ads without realising. This one’s pure after‑hours haze: London grit, dusty Western vibes, a slow grip you can’t shake. Start here. #deathinvegas

Michael mid‑glow‑up on the J5’s first live album — reaching for those sky‑high notes, fighting some, flipping others, always winning. Pure evolution in real time, with classic cuts, early MJ gems, and killer covers. #jackson5

From Japanese surf‑rock to Morricone heartbreakers, these albums still hit like a katana to the chest. A killer soundtrack for a killer movie — pure cinematic chaos, stylish as hell, and cooler than any playlist has business being. #killbill #soundtrack #quentintarantino

Could be the best electronic drop of ’97, who knows — but it’s firmly in my top five. Pure chaos, pure charge. Still hits like a riot. Their peak, no contest. #theprodigy #thefatoftheland

Happy birthday to the one and only Jody Watley — iconic and inspiring. Her music moves me, but her spirit even more. In the winter chill, I’m honouring her with the glow of Winter Nights. Longevity and soul, always. #jodywatley

Dropped a classic in 2004, vanished, teased comebacks… still nothing. But this album? Fresh electro with that 80s shimmer and zero ego. Still hits harder than half today’s playlists. #mylo #destroyrockandroll

Sat in a Paris theatre on Sept 8th 2003 for that wild global Bowie promo gig — first interactive show I ever saw. “Reality” still hits: cracked, sharp, and miles ahead. Still need to snag Ready, Set, Go for the memories. #davidbowie

Talk about some iconic duo — and I hate that word. Everything gets called iconic now: mid snacks, dusty socks, TikTok bare-minimums. But Tracey & Ben? They’re the real deal. Temperamental is late‑night elegance for when the lights come up and you’re still in the vibe. #ebtg

Aaahhh the French touch years… pure magic. Cassius 1999 still brings that slick late‑night Paris energy — shiny house grooves, cheeky samples, and that effortless ’90s cool. “Feeling for You” hits and the whole vibe lifts. #cassius

“A just machine to make big decisions / Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision.”
Kinda funny to hear that nowadays.

Told you there’d be some Duran Duran on your feed — I’m a person of my word. This time I’m spinning Seven and the Ragged Tiger, so brace yourself for another round of classics. #duranduran

Before the EDM circus, SMD were in London crafting their own wonky universe — modular chaos, metallic funk, pure voltage. First‑press still hits raw and unpolished. I battered this back then and it still feels fresh today. #simianmobiledisco

Keeping the day’s soundtrack rolling with some MJ remix heat — not the most known, but pure fire. Spinning the This Time Around 12” promo: Dallas Austin on the big punchy flip, Maurice Joshua with that raw hip‑hop edge. Underrated MJ energy. #michaeljackson

Perfect way to start a Saturday morning — George in full smoky‑bar mode, velvet vocals and zero‑stress vibes. Songs From The Last Century is pure weekend reset energy. #georgemichael

Homework is two Paris kids with busted gear flipping the whole scene. ‘Da Funk’ struts, ‘Rollin & Scratchin’ is chaos, ‘Around the World’ never dies. Add the visuals and it’s pure 90s myth. Paris built them. Homework made them untouchable. #daftpunk

2010 needed a real disruptor. While R&B was chasing that corny dance wave and losing their day‑ones, Janelle pulled up bold like Prince, fearless like Bowie—a breath of fresh air that still hits. #janellemonae
