The sample set «Freestyle Electro Produktion Kit» [the word «Produktion» was written exactly like that – in the German manner] was available for sale on the online platform «eBay» (in the German segment) until 2009, where it was sold in CD-R format with the possibility of ordering only from Germany.
This unique release includes not just samples, but also full-fledged sound elements for music production – such as melodies, vocoder phrases, synthesized parts, special effects and other building blocks of the Electro Freestyle style, the samples were prepared by the producer of the legendary German electronic music project “Freestyle Project”, whose albums were released from 1998 to 2003 – Michael Baur (sometimes under the pseudonyms Franz Merwald, Steven Maverick, etc.), who also ran the studio “MNF Records” – a division of “Manifold Music”, in Augsburg. In the early 90s, Baur founded the company “Manifold Music” (known by the names DJ Crack and DJ Darkzone) – and since 1998 made “MNF Records” its official division.
In this distribution, this set of samples contains a small number of samples from other sources (in folders without the initial tag “FS”), however, stylistically they fully correspond to the Electro Freestyle music genre. The person who gave this set of samples to the author of the distribution saved it only in this form. The original cover of the disc with the image of the recording studio, unfortunately, is lost (another image was used instead). The original samples, judging by the metadata of the sound files, were prepared in 2001.
Additional information:
An example of how the sounds from the set can sound in a composition can be heard in “Da Crazy Freestyle” [a demo track from the creator of the samples, included in this distribution]. The music of the Freestyle Project (which actively used these samples) can be heard on YouTube.
Below are several compositions that embody the Electro Freestyle style:
- Freestyle Project – Electric Reality (Club Mix)
- Freestyle Project – Cecilia (Extended Mix)
- Freestyle Project – Baby Baby Baby (Extended Mix)
- Freestyle Project – Let Your Body Rock (Short Cut)
- Freestyle Project – Get on da Floor (Extended Mix)
