Hey my good people! Sorry its been so long since an episode of FLO Radio has come out. Not to make excuses but I have some….I have been busssssaaayyyy! Truth be told just havn’t had a chance to do much digging for music or get behind the decks. Good thing Stephen Rigmaiden and I were invited to host the house room at RELEASE this last Friday. As always great music with super hot cyphers. Here is part 1 of the RELEASE sessions – part 2 Stephen Rigmaiden’s set will come later this week.

You will have to excuse us for some of the sound quality – there may have been some issues as the equipment at release was acting up all night. Again sorry if there are any audio wacknessesssesss..

In the last 10 years, his teaching has focused on the history of dances in the Funk, Hip-hop, and House culture, which he has spread through the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Africa. In these countries he has been a judge for countless dance contests, promoting the true art, culture, and essence of these dances!

OOOOOOOOO YEAAAAAAAAA! Thats right! for those of you who attended the “Rockin’ the House Party, 90’s Jam” for Gaby’s mid week birthday celebration you know what this is all about! Luckily that party forced me to organize some of my classics from the 90’s decade. This mix will be the first of hopefully (in due time) many more classic mixes of dope cuts from the 90’s. So put on your overalls and ladies grab your lace tops, here we go!

As a disclaimer I did not grow up in the early 90’s house scene, this music has been shared with me over the years educating me on classic 90’s house cuts. I have a moderate collection of 90’s house music, these tracks in the mix and more mixes to come will feature songs from 1990-2000. Some songs are remixes and not the original.

Our family in Texas had the opportunity to ask Brooklyn Terry from Elite Force a few questions. Peep game

RitualGP.com – Interview with Brooklyn Terry

Hello, and welcome to the Houston House Dance Scene. Would you be so kind as to please introduce yourself to our readers with a brief bio?
Whats up folks I’m Brooklyn Terry From the crew known as Elite Force. I have been dancing for as long as I can remember and I am not a house dancer I am a dancer.

Ritual Music was under the impression that you are currently residing in Japan. For the record, could you please set this story straight for our readers?
Yes I live in Tokyo, Japan and have been here for the past 3.5 years.

Being an old school member yourself, would you mind telling us a little bit about the history of the legendary ‘Elite Force’ crew and its members?
Mmm well I don’t really consider myself old school, but E.F. is the crew known for putting hip hop dance on the map. Stretch is the founder and the crew started on the set of Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time” video set. Stretch, Link, and Loose Joint are the original members. They had been friends and danced together long b4 that video but the name Elite started on the set of that set.

Who or what would you say was your main inspiration and influence in regards to your house dancing?
The music plain and simple.

There is more! You’ll have to go to RitualGP.com to read the full article

Allllright! Sorry for the delay my good peoples! I have been super busy with a lot of craziness the past couple weeks. I decided to try and chill out as much as possible during the Thanksgiving break just to release some of my stress. Among that stress relief I ended up cooking more than dancing or playing music (go figure) which didn’t really help with my stress levels hahaahaa

Ok, ok, ok – for the music – we are back at it again!!!! Here is another mix for you my good friends, thank you all for the positive feedback on FLO radio. Nothing but good vibes from everyone listening. Peace!
