Laserdance was started in 1981 by Erik van Vliet, the owner and founder of the Hotsound Records label, who also owned one of the most respected recordstores, located at the Pleinweg in Rotterdam. The first release, also the first and biggest release of the Hotsound Records label, was "Laserdance", which Erik produced with the help of Fonny De Wulf.

31 of 64 tracks fall inside the mix-friendly 119 - 129 BPM band, with Galactic Dream (89.0 BPM) at the slow end and Party For The Home-Coming Warriors (142.3 BPM) at the fast end. That places them within reach of the station's ±3 BPM beat-matching window, so they mix together comfortably in the non-stop mix.
