  STYLIN’ In this episode of Turn The Beat Around we celebrate one of the most distinctive dance genres born in 1980s America: Freestyle — an electronic, Latin‑infused, synth‑driven sound that emerged from the club scenes of New York, Philadelphia and Miami. The genre took shape in the early 1980s, blending post‑disco, electro and hip‑hop influences, with Shannon’s Let the Music Play (1983) widely considered the first true Freestyle record. Miami quickly became a major hub, developing a brighter, glossy production style that helped propel acts like Exposé into national chart success. TTBA’s tribute leaned into an all‑female playlist honouring the genre’s emotional vocals, Latin percussion and shimmering synth hooks.

  TTBA 13th BIRTHDAY TTBA first aired on JOY 94.9 back on Friday 5 July 2013, with Whitney Houston’s Love Will Save the Day opening that very first broadcast. In this episode we celebrate the show’s 13th anniversary — a month late, but with a proper celebration — with a 90‑minute joyride across 45 years of dance music. From Kylie, Madonna and the Pet Shop Boys to Grace Jones and Basement Jaxx, the anniversary mix stitched together disco foundations, club classics, queer anthems and modern floor‑fillers. Full Intention, Deborah Cox, Army of Lovers, Firefly, Alex Party, Brothers Macklovitch — all part of a set that celebrated the artists, producers and communities who’ve kept the beat alive since TTBA first hit the airwaves. It’s a time‑spanning tribute to 13 years of JOY and dance‑floor magic.

  1986… JUST FOR KICKS – THE TTBA DELUXE EDITION In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we celebrate forty years since the release of one the biggest compilation albums of the 1980s: 1986… Just For Kicks. Originally issued on 11 August 1986, the LP stormed the ARIA Albums Charts and spent a full month at No. 1, becoming the soundtrack of Spring ’86 across Australia. To mark the anniversary, this episode presents a complete track‑by‑track replay — but with a twist. Instead of the original running order, we rebuild the album from the ground up, correcting the sequencing quirks that have bothered fans for decades. And for the first time in forty years, we include the six additional tracks from the Megamix edition that never appeared on the standard release. This is the expanded, re‑sequenced, 40th‑anniversary edition of 1986… Just For Kicks — exclusively on Turn The Beat Around.

  MADONNA vs. PETER RAUHOFER In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we present the third instalment of our Peter Rauhofer / Club 69 trilogy — a special celebration of Madonna as she marks her 68th birthday. This hour dives into Rauhofer’s darker, tribal, underground remix style as he reimagined her catalogue from Ray of Light through to Hard Candy, transforming her late‑90s and 2000s hits into club‑floor epics. A tribute to two icons whose creative worlds collided in spectacular fashion.
