Music
- Todd Terry
- After an initial success with "Can You Party", Todd Terry secures a position in the 1988 charts with no less than four classics. The focus re-shifts to New York. [...]
- New Dance Sound from Detroit
- Virgin 10 release a compilation of music by Detroit artists including Juan Atkins and Derrick May, called 'Techno: The New Dance Sound from Detroit'. Compiled by Neil Rushton, the release was the first real taste of Detroit techno taken to Europe. It is less successful than expected, however, manages to coin the term "techno".
- Balearic, Ibiza
- In 1988, there was the 'Balearic' business, an eclectic style of DJing which at the time encompassed dance mixes of pop artists like Mandy Smith and quasi-industrial music like Nitzer Ebb's 'Join In The Chant' Championed by Danny Rampling, Nicky Holloway, Paul Oakenfold and Johnny Walker who'd all been to Ibiza in the summer of 1987, Balearic was an integral part of the club scene at the time, but after the gushing media overkill it all became a little farcical as people attempted to make Balearic records. There was, of course no such thing. --Phil Cheeseman
