Every month The Land Speed Record Department explores sound and music exclusively from the year 1983. Unrestricted by style but frequently fetishising dub, post-punk, synth-pop, Italo, industrial, new beat, electro, boogie etc, their deep-diving research tackles specific concepts and juxtaposes unlikely musical matches in a blend which can veer from smooth and sumptuous to strange and spiky, depending on the situation. Exclusive edits, accidental new tracks, the odd massive banger - anything can and will happen, as long as it's 83.
