Just like House music,the DJ is more of the star than the actual vocalist so you will find most of the music released under the DJ name. DJ Sharaz,DJ Icey,DJ Baby Anne,DJ X are some that quickly come to mind.Breakbeat had a big following around 95-2003 in the Florida area were most of the artists are from.Vocal female breakbeat sounds very similiar to freestyle except the bpm is faster and there's less of a song structure and its more of a dark club mood.

Both Trance and Breakbeat were big on the Tampa/Orlando scene during the same time so its not too uncommon to find remixes of trance to breakbeat and breakbeat to trance songs.

The only thing keeping these songs from being classified as "freestyle" is the fact that they're very very instrumental and structured quite differently, but imagine if any of these vocals were being done by a "freestyle" diva, then it would be known as "the new sound of freestyle".

As if freestyle was way too "clicked up", meaning that it was more about the personnell than it was about the actual music. That phenomenom often gets overlooked when people look to explain the downfall of the genre.

jesika's tonight (plus she has 2 more) is considered "breaks" but is PURE freestyle imo.

anything by dj x is awesome.

@ KH you just getting into it? i only did about 1.5-2 yrs ago and have acquired quite a bit.

JENNIFER GLASS - DREAMIN' only 100 copies and I GOTS ONE!!!

Tears of Technology is one of my fave on the break/trance tip.

All this stuff is more freestyle or at least just as much as the west coast style of freestyle that was hittin' in the late 90s. I know I've mentioned this before whenever this topic comes up.

Wild Style they are some killer tracks you put up there.
This is one of my favs by Icey that I have on vinyl. It mixes sick with "Clear" by Cybertron. I mix Clear into it for the entire track, it just goes together so nicely, almost meant to be :)...djc.

Icey always has some sick remixes! I played his electro remix of "Escape" by Kaycee for like an hour when I first got it back in early 2000.It was one of the last times I bought any new vinyl. Then there's the bass mix of "beach ball". I was in South Beach when it was out and I heard it everywhere I went.
