Throw the D
1986 · Luke Skyywalker
Ranked No. 1 in Miami Bass
The record that set the template and started the call-and-response tradition of answer records. Crude by design, and the 808 is mixed louder than the vocal on purpose.

Throw the D
1986 · Luke Skyywalker
Picked by Miami
The template every record below is a variation on: an instruction, a call-and-response, and the 808 louder than the voice giving it. Luke Campbell put it out on his own label because no one else in the country was going to.

Throw the D
1986 · Luke Skyywalker
Picked by The Eighties
Luke Campbell named the label after himself because there was no other way to release it, and later took its obscenity case to a federal appeals court. The most literal instance here of a scene having to build its own way out.
