| + | ===Music=== | ||
| + | *The [[Roland TB-303]] was a synthesizer/sequencer produced by the [[Roland Corporation]] in 1982 and 1983 that had a crucial role in the development of contemporary electronic music, but most of all on the acid house that would follow a couple of years later. | ||

| + | |||
| + | *Disco and electro | ||
| + | **In 1982 NYC [[disco]] expanded its perimeters to include dub, electronics, jazz, Latin, afro, new wave - a [[cauldron]] capable of melting down any ingredient. Records by [[The Peech Boys]], [[Sinnamon]] and [[D Train]] allied the Black R&B tradition with high-tech mix/electronics. The emergence of labels Tommy Boy and Streetwise under Arthur Baker and John Robie pushed the hard electronic/beat box edge to the fore. To turn on one of me city's three dance radio stations and hear a DJ mixing three records together at once seemed like an impossible dream of the avant garde infiltrating the market place. -- [[Steven Harvey]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | *Compact disc launched | ||
| + | **The [[compact disc]] was launched in 1982. The advantage of the CD is that it was digital, which helped prepare the MP3-P2P (Napster et all) revolution of the late nineties. | ||

- Disco and electro
- In 1982 NYC disco expanded its perimeters to include dub, electronics, jazz, Latin, afro, new wave - a cauldron capable of melting down any ingredient.
