Freestyle Flashback Vol. 4 - Freestyle Regrets

Volume 4 features what is popularly known as freestyle's first release in its genre. Shannon's 'Let The Music Play' is a landmark dance song, kicking off the freestyle explosion of the '80's. An undisputed classic as well as a critical record in the evolution of dance music, Shannon's groundbreaking track was, in some ways, a throwback to the diva-dominated days of 70s disco. For 1983, this cut made use of some truly cutting edge production techniques. Up until that point, electro was very much a masculine thing. When 'Let The Music Play' was released, not only did it elevate electronic music to a new high, it was also the first time we heard a robust female vocal backed by wholly synthetic music - something that has since dominated mass appeal dance music.

Thanks for listening.... Enjoy! ;-)
