Super Rarety Sureshot: Dupont - "Burn" From 1983's West Coast Documentary Film "Breakin "N" Enterin'
Now I came across this interesting joint a very good Digital copy of such (would still love to own the vinyl of this record, which I heard was reissued in 2008) so I immediately downloaded it, after hearing this several years ago watching the "Breakin "N" Enterin' Doc on You tube, and caught an in depth underground glimpse into the 1983 Hip Hop scene in Los Angeles without the commercialized BS of Hollywood movie productions. I heard this record and started my search for it. If you have been wondering who and what this cool Synth- pop R&B Record is by. The answer is: DUPONT progenator of the later 80's duo Milli &Vanilli. Dupont who started out in 1983 and released some records, an ablum as well, under his real name "Dupont randolph-Gray". Here is a quick History (Via Discogs): Signed to Total Experience Records and recorded three tracks for the film "Breakin' and Enterin'" in 1983. Moved to London, England in 1984 to look for another record label. Signed to Stone City Music in 1985. Started the International Musique Society in 1986 with Gloria Hann. Helped to form Milli Vanilli and signed to MCA in 1987. This record is definitely a cool Westcoast easly Electro Synth Pop representation in all its glory. Please note, This & two other songs by the artist does not appear on the final 5 track EP "Breakin "N" Enterin' only pressed in extreme limited quantites, however it intended to, as all three of the Dupont Tracks never made it on the final release. so this song as well as the other 2 were never officially released whatsoever (You may want to look those up too. I could not find good copies of the other two, only botched Youtube video-audio edited attempts). There is a 2008 release of the EP, which includes all three of the Dupont tracks in addition to the 5 Radio Crew Tracks. I believe that cna be purchased maybe, Look that up as well. Here is artwork for the Motion Picture release and the Dupont "Burn" track (downloadable) below
