    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.

    FUNKY DRUMMER In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we unpack the story behind one of the most influential recordings in modern music: James Brown’s Funky Drummer. Recorded in 1969 and released in 1970, the track features Clyde Stubblefield’s legendary 20‑second improvised drum break — a groove that went on to be sampled in more than 2,000 songs across hip‑hop, pop, rock, dance, and electronic music. Across two hours, we trace how this single drum loop became hip‑hop’s heartbeat, powering tracks by Public Enemy, LL Cool J, and De La Soul, before crossing into pop and rock via artists like George Michael, Fine Young Cannibals and Kylie Minogue.
