Blow Up

Dance Pop label Blow Up, hailing from Stuttgart, Germany, has been making waves in the music industry since its launch in 1981. With a rich history spanning over three decades, this influential label has left an indelible mark on the dance music scene.

Blow Up was initially marketed and distributed by renowned record company *Polydor* until 1995. Following that, it found a new home with *Universal Music Group* until 2000. Throughout its journey, Blow Up has consistently delivered groundbreaking dance pop hits that have captivated audiences worldwide.

With their finger on the pulse of contemporary music trends, Blow Up continues to discover and nurture talented artists who push boundaries and redefine the genre. Their commitment to innovation and excellence has earned them a reputation as one of the most respected labels in the industry.

When this was released in 1996, the idea of a compilation of 60s and 70s music library tracks never intended for commercial release seemed a little unusual. However, over a decade later the genre is still popular, vindicated by similar compilations from other labels, and a new wave of dedicated collectors and fans (including a cult following overseas, especially in Japan). This album has been continuously repressed, and to date has sold nearly 20,000 copies. It remains a ground-breaking introduction to the world of the music library, the first in a series reflecting the diverse music that can be heard at London's famous Blow Up club. Featuring the Cream of the KPM music library writers including Keith Mansfield, Alan Hawkshaw, Alan Parker and Johnny Pearson, Exclusive Blend Volume 1 sees Blow Up's founder and DJ Paul Tunkin taking us on a journey deep into the library's vaults. From the pounding up-tempo of Move, Move, Move through the hammond-heavy Beat Me 'til I'm Blue and Rocky Mountain Runabout (versions of both featuring on the legendary Mohawks The Champ album) to the sitar 60s club sound of Delhi Discotheque and Come Here Calcutta. Most of these tracks had never been commercially available before this release.
