ELECTRO (music): check my discussions tab at Wikipedia, for more info.
==Pronunciation & Music Definition==
electro, e·lec·tro [ i léktro ], electro-funk, e·lec·tro-funk [ i léktro-fungk ]
noun
1. music, Same as electronic music.
2. ELECTRO (music), Electro (also known as Electro-Funk) is an electronic style of hip-hop culture movement that is directly influenced by Kraftwerk, Jazz-Funk and Funk records (unlike earlier rap records that were closer to disco). Records in the Music genre are unabashed about their use of electronic and artificial sounds, taking this technological fetish almost into science fiction with many records about space travel and futuristic dystopias. Timing range is 100 to over 130 beats per minute(BPM). Electro is a derivative of the '[Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer, Roland SVC-350 Vocoder, and Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus]' Drum machines & Vocoder's Speech Synthesizer. Electro's sound is distinctively synthetic, instrumental, electronic and experimental. Additionally, the 808 drum machines pounding beats and pure sounds were heavily used in Rap, Disco and Funk music. It was very popular in New York City during the late 1970s and early 1980s. With also the revival in the late 1990s.

FREESTYLE (music): check Wikipedia, for more info.
==Pronunciation & Music Definition==
free·style ['frE-"stI(-&)l], free·style mu·sic ['frE-"stI(-&)l 'myü-zik], lat·in free·style ['la-t&n 'frE-"stI(-&)l]
noun
1. Freestyle (music), Same as Latin Freestyle.
2. Freestyle, Freestyle Music, Heartthrob or Latin Freestyle, also mistakenly called Latin Hip Hop in its early years, it is a form of electronic music that is heavily influenced by Hispanic (mostly Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican) and African-American culture. Freestyle emerged around 1982 and hit its peak in 1987. It continues to be produced today and enjoys some degree of popularity, especially in urban Latino population centers. Another popular modern genre Florida Breaks evolved from this sound.
The music first developed primarily in New York City and Miami in the mid-1980s. It eventually grew to other cities with a Hispanic population which include Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Union City, NJ and Los Angeles. Initially, it was a fusion of the vocal styles found in 1970s disco music with the syncopated, synthetic instrumentation of 1980s Electro, as favored by fans of Breakdancing or B-Boyee. It was also influenced by sampling, as found in hip-hop culture movement. In the 1990s, the Electro and Hip-Hop Culture movement influences were supplanted by House Music. Freestyle Music based on House rather than Electro is sometimes referred to as Freestyle-House.

Some Lost HISTORY on Nepenthe Nightclub - in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida USA:
"One Of the best classy nightclub/discotheque - for the teens I've ever went to from 1983 to 1987. Age group was from 10 years old to 25 years old. Serious !!!, well some kids would sneak in acting like there older then 16 year's old. Some were with Fake ID's or some that were over 21 year's of age would try to sneak in also with Fake ID's! But the club was for under 21 year's of age only! This club was the model proto-type to all other teen clubs in the USA. Its had the best sound & lighting system for its time! Its had a Beautiful lower level / sunken stainless steel dance floor, no were else I've seen this - in any club to this date. As soon you would walk in and pay, you were at ground level, then you went to your right - thru this very, very short hall, you turn left and inside of the club - you see the custom made bar counters that were illuminated with tiny lights first - then you would see the stage which was turn from VIP room to upper dance floor. Also - then you see the Beautiful lower level stainless steel dance floor. Then you go around the lower level / sunken stainless dance floor, back to the Exit out. Free Buffet were served in the back of the club next to the video games. When you first enter - you would pay $10.00 dollar's per person, you would be greeted like you were first class VIP to everyone. The female servers would dressed up as a sexy Cleopatra's outfit. Fridays & Saturday nights were the best. People would dress up to impress. You would hear the best in classic Electro-Funk, Latin Freestyle, Rap Music and Alternative Dance Music for everyone - music style's & ReMixes were played back and fourth in this club in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. You don't hear deejays doing this no more, everything now these days is just one style of music only - all night!. I guess this is what made the people be a mixed crowed inside. Everyone got along with each other and knew each other very well. New 12"inch records became hits here, first before they even hit the radio stations. You would hear hit records like ["I.O.U."-Freeez, "Din Daa Daa"-George Kranz, "The Dominitrix Sleeps Tonight"-Dominitrix, Planet Rock"-Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force, "Play At Your Own Risk"&"Cheap Thrills"-PLANET PATROL, "Egypt Egypt"-Egyptian Lover, "Don't Go"-Yazoo then "RELAX"-Frankie Goes To Hollywood] and people would go so crazy! You would hear the BASS Music with voices like CYLON's and then Pounding BASS Records with instruments like [Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, Roland SVC-350 Vocoder, Roland JUNO-60]. The club had the best Sound System around this town. Later nights thru the weeks would change like on Sunday's nights it would be [ FUNK Nights ] for more of a ethnic crowed, they would play Soul, R&B, FUNK, and Electro-Funk music it was great. Then Miami Bass music would be heard first here with the largest group's of all High School teens from every school locations from West Palm Beach County, Broward County and Dade County in 1986. You would have people driving from Miami and even West Palm Beach coming to just this club? I would have B-boys battles here when I came from NYC. Some of the DJays there was DJ Joey Madonia (he was the DJ/Light guy, I still keep in touch with him) and DJ Laz (at times he would spin or ask the DJays if he could spin, then the rest was history when he went on to be the biggest Miami/Hollywood Bass DJays for Power 96.5 FM radio) also you had the loudest Host on the MIC I've ever met - named Al Peter's, and he was funny as hell making the crowed go crazy with him. At the end of the night you would hear him saying "Bobby, your Mother is in the front waiting to pick you up", and everyone would laugh! They would also have dance contests. Other clubs in the location that would try to compete was Pete & Lenny's Nightclub, CLUB BOCA Nightclub, WeekEnd Nightclub. With only now the survivor to this date in 2007 is CLUB BOCA in Boca Raton, Florida.
