The music of my elementary school days was great because this music was so memorable to hear on the radio. There were great songs like Jump Around, by The House of Pain, or Gonna Make you Sweat (Every Dance Now). I will tell you the songs by Grade Number.
Grade II (1990 - 1991)
In Grade II, my brother moved in with my Grandfather in March 1991. Every night, he will sleep with the radio on and I hear very intersting music. I searched for the station until my brother put it on for me. The station was AM 640 The Hog. These are the songs of that year.
Crazy, Seal (You will never Know) Everybody Dance Now, C + C Music Factory
In 1991 - 1992, There was great music on AM 640 and this was the year that the station's name changed to The New Beat of Toronto.
3 AM Eternal, KLF, (1991)
B.I.N.G.O, The Movement, (1992)
Chorus, Erasure, (1991), I heard this song on AM 640 in the over the summer of 1991 after my grandfather bought me the video game Mega Man 3. The song Chorus reminded me of the Spark Man stage theme.
Get Ready For This, 2 Unlimited (1991)
I Don't Need Yo Kiss, Love and Sas (1991)
I Wanna Sex You Up, Color Me Badd, (1991) When I heard this song for the first time, I was dreaming about my trip to Nickelodeon Studios. During the dream, I was with my class in a room within Nickelodeon Studios and than we were supposed to stand for O Canada. Once the music started, than I woke up and realized it was my radio playing "I wanna Sex You Up"
Justified and Ancient / Mu Mu Land (Stand by the Jams), KLF (Tammy Yvnette) (1991)
Living in Ecstasy, BKS, (1992). There are two versions of this song. The version I heard for the first time on AM 640 was the CHR Rave Mix. The house Mix Version was released on the Much Dance Mix 1993.
Laid So Low, (Tears Roll Down), Tears for Fears (1992), This song was one of my favorites in the summer of 1992. I had an obsession with Dr. Willy from Mega Man after watching Captain N on the Family Channel.
Twlight Zone, 2 Unlimited (1992) What Time Is Love, KLF, (1991)
In the Summer of 1992, AM 640 the New Beat of Toronto had a Live to Air every Tuesday night in the summertime. I heard some interesting tracks during this live-to-air broadcast from some night club called The Factory.
Flyer for The Factory, AM 640 Live Broadcast, Tuesdays
Grade IV (1992 - 1993)
In the fall of 1992, AM 640 the New Beat of Toronto had a second Live to Air known as Mix Friday's at the Mix Nightclub. This nightclub was located at 1325 Eglington Ave. Some of the songs listed below were played at this club.
Get with U, Lidell Townsell & M.T.F (1992). In the summer of 1992, I heard this song on AM 640 and the sound of the cowbell reminded me of the movement of a conveyer belt. I also remember hearing this song while I was sleeping in by brother's room and I magically woke up in my own bedroom. Was I sleep walking?
On June 21,1993, Jessie and Gene took the airwaves of AM 640 between 5:30 - 9:00 AM every Monday - Friday. This was the first talk show that aired on AM 640. There was also a late-night talk show that took the airwaves too.
Grade V (1993 - 1994)
In the fall of 1993, another late-night talk show took the 11:00 - 1:00 AM time slot known as Telepersonal Radio. In the winter of 1994, another talk show took the airwaves known as Toronto Talks took the 9:00 AM - 12:00 timeslot and Touch Tone took the 1:00 - 3:00 timeslot. These talk shows took away the music during the day. These talk shows played during the daytime while the young listeners are at school.
Getaway, Maxx (1994) Got to Get it, Culture Beat (1993) Mortal Kombat Radio Ad (1993), Aired on AM 640 the New Beat of Toronto in September 1993
I recorded this radio ad because it has a great dance track. Mortal Monday is September 13, 1993
In Grade VI, AM 640 the New Beat of Toronto decided to produce more boring talk show in the place of during the morning hours before school. In November/December of 1994, I stumbled upon a better radio station on the FM Dial known as Energy 108 FM. At the same time there was another station that played the same music called Hot 103.5 FM
Fluxland, XL (1994), In 2000, KernKraft created Zombie Nation. Sometimes the DJs may mix Fluxland XL and Zombie Nation back to back.
Happy People, Sotto Voice (1994), I heard this song on Energy 108 FM during the 1994 Christmas Holidays. I rented the 1931 movie "Frankenstein" from Jumbo Video on December 24, 1994.
Higher State Of Consciousness, Josh Wink, (1995) This song featured a Time Stretch that freaked me out while I was in bed.
Headbone Connected, Daisy Dee (1994), When I heard this song for the first time, I rubbed my eyes to this song and saw people walking to the rhythm of this song in the mall. I nick named this song, The Mall Walking Song.
Hold On, Loft (1994)
I like to Move It, Reel 2 Reel (1994)
In My Dreams, Darkness (1995)
I'm Hot For You, Little Louie Vega, (1995)
It's a Rainy Day, Ice MC (1994)
La Cuccamarcha, TNN (The New Nation) (1993). I heard this song for the first time during the summer of 1995 during a live-to-Air on Energy 108 or Hot 103.5 FM. Let The Beat Go On, Dr. Alban (1994)
The Summer Is Magic, Playhitty/Corona (1994). Energy 108 and Hot 103.5 played this song very often between 1994 - 1995.
Think About the Way, Ice MC (1993) When I heard this song for the first time, Energy 108 FM played the noche de luna mix. I thought this was the original version to my ears. I heard the Radio version of Think About the Way later on 103.5 in 1995. I thought the radio verison was a remix.
Tonight it's Party Time, Outta Control AKA Killer Bunnies Dance Project, (1994)
Tonight is the Night, Le Click (1993) I heard it for the first time in 1994 after getting Bram Stoker's Dracula as a Belated Christmas gift.
The Way - VIP Shapdow Mix, DJ Taticx, (1994) This jungle track has lots of vocal time stretching and contains the word This Way. This was the first time I heard that freaky sound on the radio.
You Got Me, (Club Mix), Jefferson Project, 1995
Special shows in Energy FM and Hot 103.5 included the Dr Trance Show, The Street Mix and a Friday night Live to Air at Amnesia Night Club
