As part of 6Music鈥檚 All Day Rave, Huey looks at the club scene in 1980s New York. In the very early part of the decade the city was a cheap place to live, it was a period that was post-disco, post-punk, and pre hip hop, and all of these scenes were mixing with one another, making it one of the most exciting places for new music on earth. At the same time you had the art scene exploding thanks to people like Jean Paul Basquiat, Keith Haring, Futura, and Fab Five Freddy.

In this episode, Huey takes us back to those days with a focus on Club Negril and The Roxy, which were the first clubs in New York to embrace the nascent rap movement. Huey will be playing tracks from the era and hearing from the likes of Tim Lawrence (author of Life And Death on the New York Dancefloor 1980-83), Bert Bevans (who DJ鈥檇 at Studio 54 and The Loft), and Cosmo Murphy.

As always Huey will be ending the show with a Block Party mix, this time out he's done from tracks played by Afrika Bambaataa, Afrika Islam, Jazzy Jay, Red Alert, Grandmixer DST, and Grand Wizard Theodore at the Roxy on a night in 1982.
