Mantronix--early 80's? I started listening to them in the late 80's. The
two album I could pull up on short notice are: "In Full Effect" which
has
the track "Mega-Mix '88"; and the album, "Music Madness" the title track
of which I believe was a hit. How to classify them? I would say a more
electronically influenced hip hop--and I can see now how their music
might
very well have influenced more recent mixers...
