Up Front

United States-based electro-funk studio project that featured several producers, best known for their 10-minute long track "Infatuation". "Infatuation" was recognized and included on various post-disco compilation albums such as The Perfect Beats, Vol. 2, released by Tommy Boy Records. An early example of the New York Electro sound, "Infatuation" was one of the earliest influences of what would become known as freestyle. The track was a NYC summer anthem and received heavy rotation on both New York and Miami Radio and clubs. Infatuation was a particular favorite at the Funhouse where DJ John "Jellybean" Benitez, who actually "broke" the track, rocked the house.
