This weekend’s Freestyle Explosion at the Shark Tank should draw plenty of old-school DJs and b-boys. After all, songs like Stevie B’s “Spring Love” and “Party Your Body” were an integral part of breakdancing culture and 1980s house parties. “I grew up with freestyle music,” Cutso of San Jose-based DJ crew The Bangerz recently told Metro. The early subgenre of electronic dance music fused fast-paced 808 beats with overtly synthetic melodies and chord changes for a sound that both robots and humans could get down with. Stevie B will be there, along with Lisa Lisa, Taylor Dayne, Expose, TKA, Brenda K Starr and many more.
