  BREAKIN’… THE BEST OF In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we rewind to the breakdancing movie boom of the mid-1980s and celebrate the unforgettable music that powered the craze. From Beat Street and Breakdance to Electric Boogaloo and Body Rock, we explore the soundtrack hits, cult classics and hidden gems that leapt from the screen onto dancefloors around the world. Along the way, we revisit a unique moment when hip-hop, electro, freestyle and street culture collided with Hollywood. It’s a nostalgic journey through the films that inspired a generation to grab a piece of cardboard and hit the floor.

  THE ONLY WAY IS YAZZ In this episode of Turn The Beat Around, we celebrate the extraordinary career of Yazz, from her breakthrough with Doctorin’ The House and the global smash The Only Way Is Up to her evolution through soul, and reggae. We explore how a former model and England volleyball player became one of the defining voices of the late-’80s house music explosion, helping bring dance music into the mainstream. Along the way, we uncover the fascinating story behind her biggest hit, a reimagining of an overlooked 1980 soul recording by Otis Clay that went on to eclipse the original in the public consciousness. Plus, we revisit the hit-filled years, the lost albums, and the remarkable personal journey that made Yazz one of pop music’s most compelling and enduring figures.
