Radio Personality : WCEV 1450 AM Chicago
First of all, I'd like to thank JackG for upgrading my status to "writer" here at Clubfreestyle.com. It's a great opportunity to let others know what I'm doing here in Chicago to promote the Freestyle movement. I'd also like to thank The Santana Twins, Ashley, Willie Valentin, Andrea Martin and the other artists and producers who have expressed interest in getting me their material and/or be interviewed for the program.
"Wake Up Dancing" is broadcast live from Chicago on WLUW (88.7 FM) from 6am-9am CST Friday mornings. The program is webcast on www.wluw.org and wwwshoutcast.com. If you go to shoutcast.com, conduct a search for WLUW, then click on the "tune in live" icon. I also take calls at 1-312-591-8870 and requests here at Clubfreestyle.com or my personal e-mail address. Here's this week's recap...
At 6:00am, I played the second half of Kid Heartbreak's "Bronx Tale" CD. The nice thing about this CD is that it showcases both new and old school Freestyle cuts. For the old school lovers, I'll go back to Tony "Boom Boom" Badea's classic Freestyle mixes this coming Friday.
At 6:30am, I went into Joey Kidd with "One and Only' off of the Dance Trip 2000 compilation, Shana..."I Want You" ( for Rookie in Philly), "Cosita Linda" by the MP Boyz (Georgie Porgie & Tony "Boom Boom" Badea), and India..."Dancing On the Fire".
The 7am hour started off with Cynthia's Medley. Afterwards I commented on the Mic Mac situations in which Cynthia and Johnny O wound up leaving the label due to differences with the label. I also spoke of how the label continued to make money off of the artists with remix CDs, etc. without giving the artists proper compensation. The information I used was gathered from previous Johnny O and Cynthia interviews.
After the medley, I played Safire's "Don't Break My Heart" and spoke of the upcoming duet with Cynthia which I found out about here. I promised listeners that I would do what I could to get my hands on the new Safire material (I'm going to need help). After Safire, it was Elissa..."Back To Me", George Lamond..."Lately", and a cut off of the GL CD..."Como Loco". Brenda K. Starr's salsa version of "I Still Believe" followed along with The Force..."Promise Me", First Class..."My Sweet Rose" and Willie Creso with "Where Have You Gone To".
At 8am, it was time for "Words and Music" with Alez Zuniga of Latin Nation speaking of the state of Freestyle, his future plans and his early Chicago connections. We also talked about the goofball promoter who ripped everyone off this past summer with a phantom freestyle event. I expect to post a transcript of my interviews here...soon.
During the interview I played: "No Puedes Mas"..."Nunca"...Eres Mi Vida" and "Time Has Shown" by Latin Nation.
The final half hour featured Rockell..."What U Did 2 Me", Marisa Lopez..."I Can't Promise You Love", Cynthia..."Save Your Love For Me" and Angel Clivilles with "Show Me-2000".
The show was a nice interactive effort thanks to Paresh, Freestylegoddes, Bassy555, Makeyadance, FreestyleKitty, exgroove, Law2k1, GregK, rookie, er the FS child, Andrea, JackG, and lilitaliana, who I heard from through the phones, e-mail and postings here Clubfreestyle.com.
This Friday, I expect to air an interview with actor John Leguizamo to mark the release of his latest film with Martin Lawrence and Danny Devito. Post your requests, comments and criticisims here, or in the "Shoutouts,etc." page.
Thanks again to JackG for the upgrade.
Respectfully,
Harv Roman
