Review by Matt Villeneuve

Spinning Back to 1990: Hold The Front Page’s Radio Station Alright, buckle up because we’re diving into a slice of Euro House heaven that’s equal parts nostalgic and fresh. Hold The Front Page dropped their album Radio Station in 1990, and it’s one of those hidden gems that feels like a secret handshake between dance music lovers. Released under High Fashion and Beaver Records Ltd., this Dutch-Australian collab hits all the right notes for fans of electronic beats with a punch. Now, let’s talk tracks. The title track, “Radio Station,” is an absolute vibe machine. It kicks off with this hypnotic synth loop that just grabs you by the ears and doesn’t let go. There’s something about how the beat builds—like climbing stairs in a dream—and then BAM, it drops, and suddenly you’re not just listening anymore; you’re living it. I remember hearing this one late at night on some random FM dial years ago (yeah, actual radio back in the day), and it felt like the station itself was alive, pulsing through my headphones. Weirdly magical? Absolutely. Then there’s “Stop The World.” Man, this one still gets me every time. It’s got this slow-burn intro that lures you in like a siren song, but when the bassline kicks in? Forget about it—you’re hooked. What sticks with me most is how effortlessly it blends melancholy and euphoria. Like, you could be sitting alone in your room feeling all introspective, but two minutes later, you’re ready to take over the world. Or at least the dance floor. Here’s the thing about Radio Station: it’s not trying too hard to impress anyone. Instead, it lets its raw energy do the talking. This isn’t some overly polished studio creation—it’s real, gritty, and unapologetically fun. You can practically hear the late-night studio sessions, the cups of coffee gone cold, and the sheer joy of making music that moves people. Looking back now, it’s wild to think this album came out over three decades ago. In a way, Radio Station feels frozen in time, yet somehow timeless too. Maybe that’s why it still resonates today. Or maybe it’s just proof that good music doesn’t need a fancy algorithm or TikTok trend to make waves. Either way, if you haven’t spun this record yet, do yourself a favor and hit play. Who knows? You might even find yourself wishing life had a rewind button so you could relive those first few seconds of “Radio Station” again and again. Oh, and hey—one last thought. If aliens ever land and ask us humans to explain our obsession with soundwaves, I’m handing them this album. No questions asked.
