Re: Freestyle recommendations

this dude has also done some cool tracks about being lonely and in love.
the cheesy vocals is a bit hard to cope with, but its very nice on the instrumental side with lots of 808 and FM-synths.
on the other hand, i guess the vocals fit pretty perfect in..

It's more like electro with more commercial 'pop' vocals. I believe the genre name and sound got coined by Tony Butler and his pseudonym 'Freestyle'. I'm told the genre is still (or again) quite popular in LA.

Re: Freestyle recommendations

Also the way of production is typical and kind of dated to mid/late 80's.
The use of samplers is very noticable. That stuttering effect with snares for example.
And compared to older electro it is more melodic.

Hm, for me, Freestyle "does the bridge" between Oldschool USA Electro/HipHop and Italo Disco. It's just a mixture between both, isn't it?

Here you also find some informations and examples for hearing:

Its like what Italians in leather Jackets from Queens listen to.

I think it was hip in the 80s that if you were such italian "geezer" you had to make your own Freestyle record for pure prestige, like having fancy clothes or big cars or something like that.

Re: Freestyle recommendations

It must have been amazing clubbing in 80'ies Miami.
Just hanging out in neonlight bars, drinking turquoise drinks while listening to bass and freestyle all night long.

Shannon's appearance in Grafitti Rock is also pretty legendary, eventhough she's from N.Y.
