Felix & Jarvis - Flamethrower Rap (1982) [starts at 1:45]

i don't know much about felix and jarvis other than they started out as either dancers or producers for the scene. the scene was a mid seventies to mid eighties detroit dance show that everybody in detroit watched in order to know all the latest dances and styles. this rap song is a cover of "flamethrower" by j giles band. felix wrote the line "are you ready to throw down" which was incorporated in to the nat morris open just before the record was released and remained part of the script until the show ended in 1987. call felix and jarvis' music electro-funk or rap or proto-house or rock-n-roll or new-wave or whatever you wanted. it was always danceable though no matter what you called it.
