Dance Music News Charts and Reviews
October 15, 2008 One of the most recognised voices in dance music is making a welcome return. Freedom Williams was the voice of C C Music Factory and ruled dancefloors through the 90’s with his distinctive rap. He sold millions of records including ‘Gonna Make You Sweat’ and ‘Things That Make You Go Hmmm’. Now he is set to tear up dancefloors worldwide once again with ‘Mindbounce’ a hip house collaboration with New York production outfit Speakerbox.
The track is due out on hot New York label Sea To Sun Records in late November. Freedom Williams grew up in Queens, New York, alongside hip hop legends like RUN DMC, Jam Master Jay and LL Cool J. He was one of the early innovators, rocking local basement parties in the 80’s as MC Tiny Tim. His reputation grew and by the late 80’s his voice was heard on dancefloors all over the world.
He remains heavily involved in music, focusing on Freedom Williams Entertainment and the development of new artists. Earlier this year he was played the instrumental version of Speakerbox’s ‘Mindbounce’ by a mutual friend and was immediately inspired to get back behind the mic. The result is a dark, stylish slice of hip house that is tearing up dancefloors everywhere.
Speakerbox a.k.a New York producers Anton Bass, Sted-E and Anthony Fonseca are gaining a fearsome reputation in New York house music circles, both as producers and as a live act. Their first release ‘Time’ was nominated for an International Dance Award and topped the Billboard Dance Charts. This was quickly followed by another big track, ‘Dancefloor’ featuring a vocal from Crystal Waters.
