Maximum Freestyle indeed! 18 tunes in all, featuring such artists as  Sincere Emotion, Irene, Tolga and Atilla. Angel starts things off with re-make of Cynthia's  all time classic "Change On Me" in a fashion heavy with synthesis that totes a  European feel as Frankie Boy rocks a funky melody on the Spanish flavored "Margarita" while Leticia tip toes gracefully over an arrangement  of bells, plucked strings and punchy beats. The Cd then goes onto the roots of Maximum/Ventura roster with a pride that is evident throughout the disc. Refreshing breath of fresh air...

The first thing comes to the mind about this second compilation produced by Atilla C. Uyanik is the  abundant proportion of songs composed of a Planet Rock beat, the final result is nonetheless of good quality, because Atilla is a fine artisan( I keep repeating it!) He offers us once again the opportunity to discover really good products, such as Frankie Boy(what a talent!), the wonderful "if you could be mine" by the no less wonderful Tolga, the Vickie's great  comeback and gracious Irene who interprets 3 reprise("Miracle", "Only in my dreams",  Where r u now"). includes very beautiful melodies.Exceptional compilation, grap it before it's too late!

Maximum Freestyle  from Canadian producer Atilla C. Uyanik on Ventura International Records, I will be reviewing this freestyle compilation on my next column, but I  will recommend this time around their latest single release of Frankie Boy's "Margarita" from  the movie Salsa Dancing in the early 90's. Yes it is a cover, but it has never been covered  like this before. It's great freestyle record and it deserves lots of spind!

Ventura International Records' latest release "Maximum Freestlye" presented by  local dance station Power 88.5 FM.  So I picked this CD  up from my mail box and  I must say...... very nice work boys! It is so great to see local talent fighting to keep the old school sound alive. Ventura's very own "Frankie Boy" in my opinion is the star of this compilation. "When  We First Met" reminds me of those summer days when I used to chill out in the hot sun and blast George Lamond all day long!  This talented artist's strong, sweet voice will carry you away, and currently  receiving massive airplay on local radio Power 88.5 FM, with Atilla's version of Michael Sambello's  "Margarita"(Spanglish Remix)/ Other artists featured on this CD include Angel, Atilla, Sincere Emotion, and Tolga. I was pleased to see productin credits from Tolga Katas. There are o barriers between Canada and the US when it comes to uniting Freestyle music. A must Cd for everyone!

Atilla C. Uyanik, the frontman behind this Toronto based label, is back  again with the second installmentof his ongoing seris Maximum Freestyle, a series dedicated 100% to the preservation of the genre. Built on a platform of remakes and remixes, Max2 is presented with a kick of Canadian flair and a twist of  Maimi based musical fashion. The disc features 18 great tunes in all and starts off with a smooth, string inflicted number entitled "She's Leaving" that was penned by the duo of Bautista and D'abling and produced by Atilla and sung by fan favorite Frankie Boy. Irene then lends her youthful vocals towards a pillowy remake of Jossette's "Miracles" while Ottaman makes waves with his rendition of Isaac's  "In My Heart"/ Tolga then gets loose on a beat driven tune called "If You Could Be Mine" as E-Lusion gets busy with their take on Mr. Katas' chart topping party player "Sending All My Love." Other artists pounding out this compilation include Sincere Emotion, Vickie, Leticia, Johanthan, Pep Art and Atilla himself swinging the lead on a remix of "Want To Love." So for all this and  more, track down a copy of this CD before they are all gone...

A song that should explode soon, following its US release is Frankie Boy's "Margarita" produced by Atilla on Ventura International Records, a remake of that famous latin love theme featured in the 80's flick "Salsa". The production is immaculate, and Frankie's voice is just moving, in both English and Spanish. "Atilla's Miami Beach Mix" is the can't miss mix for dance and rhythm radio, bilingual and very melodic, with the tropical feel of TonyMoran freestyle record, featuring pumping beats, a booming bassline, and the keyboard craftmanship of a ligosa production, not to forget Salsa breakdowns that compliment the entire thing. Stations in Miami, Texas, California and Mexico should especially eat this up! There's also a more  contemporary freestyle version to what's happening in the clubs and at mixshow level with the "Extended club mix", that's a bit faster in the mid 120's range, based on the Planet Rock  beat, and toned up more on the music with massive synth sequences.Either way, both mixes should work well, depending on the market and if not,  there's a few more bonus remixes hiding on the single. The sogn has already been aired on radio in Canada and has received a big response from Canada's diverse audience and multi-culture marketplace. Frankie's been building a following for the last few years, from local attention to the release of debut "My Precious Love" and many call him "the young George Lamond" from his look and vocal style. Taken from the Maximum Freestyle compilation "Margarita" is the first single from Ventura International Records in a while and what a way to return to the scene. For another fantastic Frankie Boy recording, check out "When We First Met", also featured on "Maximum Freestyle".

Back in days, "My Precious Love" that could be heard in all Latin Hip-Hop ears, was one of the most impressive production of this time.With "Margarita", the talents of the notorious Frankie Boy are now  fully justified. He proves us the rising star of the Freestyle. Look for him in the next years... Although preceded by a lot of great versions, I truly recommend you the Extended Club Version(with planet Rock Beat), but also the Miami Beach Version, in pure  Miami Sound tradition(beat, bass, melodious keyboards,  a pinch of Salsa...) Sang in English and Spanish at the same time, Frankie Boy's latin, and warm voice on "Margarita" is sure like the same alcohol, to be drink with joy. To sail to the hot tropical atmosphere, nothing's like Margarita. Consume without moderation....

LARRY DERMER "Memories Of You"

Similar in style to the likes of Johnny O, Larry sings with feeling compliment with sweeter touch than say, Johhny O. A tropical Miami pleaser, with hints of the style of Stevie B, touches. The Miami sound is fashionable once again!

**** Gary Hayslett DMA magazine

ATILLA "Want To Love"

The  introduction is a dramtic pause which quickly slam into the music and chorus. This is heavy on the beat with fairly strong vocals, compared to the glut of male fresstyle vocals out there that are just plain "weak". Very catching , flavored with a hint of the Stevie B school sound and feel. One of the labels's stronger releases.

LETICIA "Why Do You Treat Me Badly"

Laser-pounding uptempo beats, bubblegum-chewing, whiney vocals and unique music with its use of bells and chimes. Radio get ready for an explosion by this South Californian singer. Eight mixes to choose from. The A-side has the Spanish versions. Canadian producers, label, American artist-who said freestyle doesn't work? HOT...

SINCERE EMOTION "Trust In Me"

This Canadian label is establishing quite a name in the industry. Another quality production. Four mixes for all your needs. DJs check out the heavy duty dub mix. Sincere Emotion consists of four Florida natives and boy can these guys sign! This is one of the those rare records you just want to play over and over and over! Leave it to Tolga and Atilla to satisfy our needs once again..

ATILLA "Want To Love"

With Tolga assisting on production, I had no doubts! Laidback vocals, hi-nrg keyboards and samples from the Beat Club classice "Security" makes this one a winner! Already making a big buzz in the US! HOT..
