One of my best friends (and favorite producer/turntablist) Woof the Phonocator gave me Judy Torres’ “Come Into My Arms” on wax for Christmas! [NOTE: I posted it up a while back] Included on the vinyl is a House remix (”The Casa Mix”) that I’ve been salivating over for some time now. I searched the inner and outer web to no avail. No one I know had a digital version, let alone the original vinyl. Woof found out; looked through his enormous vinyl collection; and guess what? HE HAD 2 COPIES! ….and Now I Have one of them! THANK YOU Josh!
Judy Torres – Come Into My Arms (The Casa Mix) 1987
I was brought up on my sister’s homemade Freestyle tapes and bootleg CDs. Growing up in Jamaica, Queens had a soundtrack provided by: Stevie B, Judy Torres, TKA, Debbie Deb, Coro, C-Bank, Cynthia, Noel, and the list goes on.
Mention “Freestyle” anywhere outside of New York, Florida and/or Miami and nine times out of ten you’ll receive a blank stare or a reference to hip-hop freestyling (”off the top of the dome”). Now mention “Freestyle” around my Dj partner in crime Alain D. and be ready for stories of growing up in Brooklyn and critiques on “kids these days”. We’re doing an old school house/freestyle/breaks party soon (he doesn’t even know it yet)…so be ready.
