very good one!!!!!

I don't remember ever hearing "On The Loose". Perhaps one night at a night/dance club - but I've never had that song in any way, shape or form. Good song - but new to me. It's interesting how after all these years, I can still hear a classic Freestyle song for the first time...

 

[rnbastos]

Ahhh... trust me, there's always something "new"...

That's good to know. What I DON'T know is WHY Freestyle hasn't gone mainstream again. It's great music. I guess we have a lot of work to do...

 

[XaXon]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I would take a guess and say for the same reasons as to why it never reached the heights it should’ve back in the day...Racism...in the music industry!!!!
Maybe less so now but still a factor.
back in the day very few hit the billboard charts Sa-Fire, Stevie B, Sweet Sensation to name a few but only with ballads.

Corona’s Temptation & Tim Simeon of Bomb The Bass were one of the few who broke through with a Dance Freestyle track “Don’t make me wait” that was No 1 here in the UK

The problem today, or in recent times, is that their is not enough good quality Freestyle coming out to grab the attention of the masses. If their were, I believe, it could break through.

 

[XaXon]

Ahhh... trust me, there's always something "new"...

Agreed... I recently came across this track that’s was around years ago, more than 5 years infact and I hadn’t heard it before. Instantly fell in love with it.
If you don’t know it check it out

Another reason can be the "90's fever" that has started this year. If a few years ago it was the 80's nostalgia, the current generation is bringing the 90's... and freestyle comes with it.

Oh, very interesting... I see - and that does make sense. Wow, so our Freestyle dance music might just be back in one form or another!

 

[Shakester]

When I was DJing in the late 80s and early 90s, one song was guarantee to get the crowd going and people dancing and that was Party Your Body by Stevie B. The first 10 seconds of that song was fire.

Yes, that was one of the first songs that got me into Freestyle.

 

[Shakester]

A song I thought would show up on a few lists is surprisingly absent. Linear’s Sending All My Love.
