Coco Bill “Evita” (1984, Gei-Ar Productions)

Is it a love song? Probably not. Is it a warning to a naive Evita to beware a corrupt


system? Depends. Whatever it is though, this slice of rolling synth drum
craftsmanship and canny chords sure is funky.

Cashmere “Inner Feelings” (1983, Philly World Records)

Rising from the ashes of soul group Heaven and Earth, Cashmere focused around
the octave-leaping vocals of singer Dwight Dukes, and had a string of club hits
between 1983 and 1985. But it’s this forgotten album cut that shows the group at
their heartfelt boogie best, as it twists its way across the room, all hi-hat triplets,
panned toms, electro bass, and eerie, blissed-out melodies.

Mr. Master “A Dog In The Night (Instrumental)” (1983, House of


Music)

Although songwriting credits are sketchy, the House Of Music label was in full flow
in 1983, firing out classic Italo cuts like this one all year long. The results are
undeniably nasty, with a determined bass line anchoring the chord progression,
and chunky drums keeping it all in check. Whether the vocal version of the song
nods to S&M is a call you’ll have to make for yourselves.

Apollonia 6 “Oooo She She Wa Wa” (1984, Warner Bros)

While the group’s finest moment might have been a performance of their track “Sex
Shooter” at The Taste club in the Purple Rain feature, it’s tracks like “Oooo She She
Wa Wa” that proved they were more than just sexed up eye-candy, and indeed
possessors of a fuzzed out, bass heavy, cosmic imagination.

Mike Francis “Survivor” (1984, Concorde)

Florence-born Mike Francis bolted out of the stable at an early age, and “Survivor”
sees the young musician busting out a mature ballad that belies his mid-twenties
age. The track’s poolside mallets soundtracked the summer of ’84 with a gentle but
positive message for those left standing on love’s battlefield.
