Tina Elise - Open To You

I can't remember exactly when this one came out, but it was probably in the early-mid 90's and released on After Dark records . It was written by Ron Esco and Wilson Yepez who also produced the track with Adam Kiss. I love the housey feel to the track, reminds me a little of Todd Terry. Only thing that is missing are the Berrios Beats...

(REQ) Jellybean - Just A Mirage (ft. Adele Bertei) b/w Mirage (ft. India) (1988)

This was one of the those records were the B side track took on a life of its own and went on to become a cult classic. I'm sure a great deal of it had to do with the fact that nobody could understand what the hell India was saying. The song Just A Mirage was produced by Jellybean and written by Adele and Toni Colandreo. On the flip side, Mirage (Dancers Dream) was produced by Jellybean and co-mixed with Little Louie Vega. It was written by Jellybean and Louie along with the Kiss Connection, Danny & Victor Vargas of 2 Without Hats/Rare Arts fame. I would love to see the original lyric sheet for this song.

(REQ) Raiana Paige - You're My Only Man (1993)

This one was produced, mixed, arranged and of course edited by the great Carlos Berrios, and co-written with longtime partner Franc Reyes. The B side mixes include production work by Franc, Tommy Musto, Eddie Frente and Victor Simonelli. She obviously moved in a totally different musical direction with kHz, but she still looks hot.

Link Updates

It's been awhile since I added any new links, but here are a few worth checking out if you haven't come across them already.

---

The first is Jean-Marc's site from France. I know Carlos Berrios calls himself the king of freestyle, but this guy is poised to take the throne. He has a huge collection already posted on Multiply, many of them rare and hard to find tracks. The blog site is new so there isn't much up yet. You need to create an account on Multiply to use that service and send Jean-Marc an invitation request to be added as a contact.

Next up is Marlon's site from NYC. He's only been posting for a few months but has been uploading like a mad man. He already has a ton of stuff online.

One from Brazil where I think his name is Marcelinho. The site is written in Portuguese but there are enough pictures to make things clear and all of the links are in English.

AVP ft. Willie Valentin - No Matter What / Marisol - Beginning Of The End

Two different artists, two nice tracks. Willie Valentin provides the vocals on the A side and handles production duties for both songs while Marisol Arzola sings on the second track. You can't go wrong when Willie's involved. This was released through Artistik and distributed through MicMac records.
