2019 was a great year for RSE and Freestyle music, in general.



Audi Medina saw major success and support with “Need You Alone” through our collaboration with Tazmania Records. She followed this up with “Sunrise” in July and as a featured artist on Dark Intensity’s Tazmania single “Holding On” in September.



I’ve also been busy working on new music, mostly remixes. Look for the RSE Remix of “Follow You” by Zoe, due to be released on December 9, 2019.



I want to thank all of the fans and DJs who have supported RSE over the years. It’s because of you that I keep doing this. I have several projects lined up and 2020 is shaping up nicely. There will be a few surprises coming, including a return to my “underground” Freestyle roots, and revisiting the past as a way to move ahead to the future.



2019 was also a year of great losses for Freestyle: Wilson Feliciano, recently passed away. I first met Wilson in 2003 or 2004 while I was involved with the Total Kaos Records relaunch. We were introduced at a show in Atlantic City, NJ via a mutual friend. No matter what he was going through, Wilson always had a smile on his face and lit up a room where ever he was. As a singer, Wilson was a perfectionist and never satisfied with his vocals. Every song we worked on has probably 20 different takes. I regret that we didn’t get a chance to finish everything we started together. He was a great talent and never got the “fame” or recognition he deserved as a Freestyle artist. I am forever grateful that he put his trust in me early on and I had the opportunity to release one of our collaborations with his heartfelt tribute to his late father, “I Was Lost”.



I would also like to acknowledge the other big losses our genre suffered in 2019: Freestyle artists Chase (Charles DeJesus) and La-Mour (Carlos “Charlie” Velasquez) and Freestyle/House/EDM producer Carlos Mojica. May they all rest in peace.



This may be my last update for 2019. I would like to take this time to wish everyone happy holidays and happy new year. See you in 2020!
