Aleem - Release Yourself

Listening to this song, Leroy; you were best friends with Mario of Stone Luv Band; but this song was a favorite release after stressful days of work for me to dance at home to, among other release songs. Thanks for your work and effort into this song and others! The beat is still kickin' man. I hope you continue to move your soul in the direction of music as it moves the soul; I have been a dancer at professional studios for years outside of full-time work. I had to make time for me because I'd be so overwhelmed with work and caring for the family which was great! Mario and I were actually living storybook lovers in a lifelong relationship. And when Rainy came out with her song, Sweetheart, that was if it were made for Mario and I. Peace to you, JamesCalloway and his mom, everybody on behalf of me and Mario and our families. I miss her! I'll never forget her. Francine

Timeless electro that I just never get bored of playing!
With its soulful vocal telling you to " release yourself " over and over, 808 drum patterns and synths that put this track right next to "Hip Hop Be Bop" ,"Al naafiysh" and "Planet rock"!!
Also appears on Electro 5 which for me is the best of the Streetsounds Electro series, absolute sublime cutting and mixing especially when it drops in from
Captain Rocks " Future shock " ....
....And its Twenty three years old ....
Now that's a future shock!

this is one of the few records that i know of that you can play just about anywhere, and a few true heads will pop up and give you respect for playing. techno, soul, hip-hop, freestyle, it doesn't even matter, this thing crossed over and got it's due. it's got that early sampling feel, a thick vocal, and a drum kit that beats you up on any system out there. where i'm from, it wasn't a great big hit, but still, anytime you break it out you will get "that look" from a few folks who spent the better part of the night staring into their drinks. tune!
