Well, forest fires, flash floods, and deadly heatwaves can only mean one thing: decades of inaction on climate change have doomed us to millennia of disastrous weather.

Also, time for some summer jams woooo!

Summer Hit Mix ’92
Mix 1

Mix 3
Mix 4
I fucking love the cover to this album, it’s like they had a $20 budget, 45 minutes, a moderately interested model and they were like “fuck it, buy a float, put her in it, and take a few pics. No, don’t worry about the lighting it’s not important let’s get this done.” There’s a Laura Branigan’s video for “Gloria” level of laziness here that I really respect.

The album itself is great though, four fantastic mixes featuring pop hits, euro-dance, house, and some hip-hop. You got some big numbers here that you probably know, two 2 Unlimited numbers, for example, but there are also some lesser-known jams that I never heard of. A club mix of the “Escape From New York” theme? Sign me up! A U 96 song that isn’t “Dos Boot?” Word! You can find the whole tracklist here if you’re curious.

These mixes were put together by DJ Torsetn Fenslau, who was a big name in the German techno scene in the early 90s before he sadly passed away in a tragic car accident in 1993. He also worked as a producer, and found huge mainstream success right before his untimely passing with the super-uber-huge house hit “Mr. Vain” by Culture Beat. And if you’re thinking, like I did before I went to YouTube to see the video, that you never heard that song, trust me, you have. In terms of insanely catchy 90s euro-house mainstream hits, it’s probably only second to “What Is Love.”

I was going to finish this post off by making a crack that the worst song on this mix is better than the best song that’s currently on the Billboard Dance Chart, but I did a quick look at the charts and found that both Donna Summer and Diana Ross remixes are currently in the top 10 so that’s just not true.

Everything on here is better than that Hasley song though because ugh fuck that thing.
