of the most pioneering and influential tracks in Hip Hop
history. Widely recognised as one of the founding fathers of
rap, Afrika Bambaataa was a revolutionary force in the South
Bronx, known for throwing legendary block parties that
shaped the early Hip Hop movement. With the release of
<I>Planet Rock</I> in 1982, assisted by Soulsonic Force,
Bambaataa fused Hip Hop and electronic music in
groundbreaking style, leaving an enduring mark on popular
music and dance culture. Originally compiled in 1986 from a
string of singles, the record features era-defining cuts such
as "Looking For The Perfect Beat" and "Renegades of Funk,"
alongside further collaborations with figures like <B>Melle
Mel</B> and <B>Trouble Funk</B>. A long-time favourite
among DJs, breakers, and collectors, this reissue restores a
crucial piece of Hip Hop heritage to vinyl shelves. Picture
