Still, while the florida breaks scene continues to spread, the electro funk and freestyle sound continues to evolve and survive in the deepest depths of the underground...far away from the community that still scratches their head and wonders what should should be done to make a genre survive. Should they speed up or slow down beats? should they continue with the same sound?
while the so called "legends" turn to other music forms to further their careers (and pay some bills) and promoters and radio stations stop or delay freestyle shows. While new york underground thrives in the sounds of deep progresive house.
While a new batch of florida freestyle artist, now dubed progresive, sign to labels like jellybean, robbins ent., and groovalicious......pushing the new sound of freestyle (freestyle breaks) at the same time that European labels invade the U.S. (the true birth place of all hiphop and disco forms and all that evolved out of it) with modern freestyle/break remixes of trance records that break in the underground and still get on the radio,
many in the freestyle world look away.
regardless, its not freestyle to them.and what happens on the outside has nothing to do or have an effect on the "freestyle" community. and still they ask, what can they do to make the community survive.
with house remixes from information society, shanon, or even lissete melendez, hitting not only radio but one of the core center heart of the house music scene - the gay circuite.
tuning everyone in the outside back to freestyle....even considering playing or singing to freestyle lyrics...
still, nobody sees the impact.
people still want to stick with what they have been sticking with for the past decade and refuse to change production, cuz of the fear of what the FANS might say.
yet, a pocket of us still evolved with the sound...and through out the years the sound has taken us to another world and back... now we are uniting and claiming back slowly the electrofunk and freestyle beats the break scene has taken from us and starting to take back the hormonies that European trance has borowed from us.
but despite this, to the world of dance music, freestyle was a fad...and not to be taken seriously.
now with an 80's revival, everyone is soon to release electrofunk and freestyle driven records, without even recognizing its TRUE roots or where it all came from.
but no, it does not matter what i say, cuz nomatter what i say..nothing will change...they will still keep claiming and claiming and forgetting and changing untill there is nothing left. and on top of it, with whats going on in the world, nobody is going to stand up for it. people will still segregate themselves from the dance community in order to "keep it real" with freestyle. why change? why open up and know what is going on in other parts of the dance world?
anyway... I wana introduce to you guys the latest trance record.
Im sure its all 100% European inovation, since they are always so inovative with all their music forms (or more INTELEGENT, as they say). Im sure it might become a huge hit and the trance movment will be even more loved.(even if this record came from within our borders).
(more djs will get more gigs and less artist will get to perform REAL vocal style shows).
some of you may already know that this record is out there, but some of you might not...
the new trance inovation is
FLIP & FILL FEAT: KELLY LLORENA "TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES".
its something brand new (just like all the breaks and trance beats and hormonies) that im sure the new generation of club heads will prais and demand more from the gods of the European continent or those here who boast and glorify Europe. (at least they will see it that way).
im sure that a whole new generation would never hear the story or recognize the name Donna williams. or know that a freestyle,now salsa singer had anything to do with the background vocals (along side his cousin).
Personally, i do love the record. I love the original also. always will love the original. im happy about the record, cuz some freestyle would be re-discoverd and exposed and draw more atention to this scene... but sad, cuz the scene still does not have it sh*t together and stronger in numbers..and the facts of the past will be overlooked. also, that there is no BREAK/freestyle version.
but like i always say.......despite what happens within the freestyle community.no matter how many concerts you throw, how many websites exist, how many people start critizising others who want change....
with or with out the freestyle community........ freestyle music in the essence of experimenting with beats,breaks and present day technology......, the sound is very much alive and now will rise out of the underground (like it has been), unfortunatley..not out the freestyle community of labels and producers or whats left of them.
if you dont change, the world will change and move on without you. it already has begun.
anyway,
No one said anything about turning your back on the oldschool or old ways of doing things....
this might be a slap in the face to many or maybe how i said somethings. but those who truly know me..know i dont hold back.
(even if you see me as bias for my work on other websites from my past.some things needed to be said at that time.i never had the chance to state the other side).
i dont mean to dis anyone, but this is a wakeup call, especailly to new york. cuz miami needs you now. miami needs new york and the tristate to join us now. Vocal freestyle artist and labels who suport them, need to merge with the prodominant non vocalized scene of breaks. Breaks needs to battle with house musics stronghold of new york's undergound. Those filtered Disco samples will be replaced with filtered freestyle classics. it has already started.
If i didnt care, i wouldnt spend my time typing on this site.or at least try to reach one person. one person makes a diference.
true heads know what im talking about... those true heads who also go to underground clubs:
"YOU FEEL IT! YOU LIKE IT! YOU FEEL IT! YOU LIKE IT! YOU FEEEL IT! YOU LIKE IT!
CUNTY! CUNTY! CUNTY! CUNTY!
DINDADA DINDADA DINDADA DINDA DADADADADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDA!
mad love to all.
