There is no corporation and no editorial office behind FreestyleMusic.de – just a handful of people who never quite got over Freestyle. Four of us at the moment, each with their own corner and all with the same goal: giving the scene a home on the web again.

Crackman

Development & Technology

Crackman is where everything technical comes together. He rebuilt the new FreestyleMusic.de from the very first line of code – database, CD catalogue, community features, servers, deployments. If a page loads fast, looks as good on a phone as it does on a big screen and is still running in the morning, that is his work.

What he likes building most are the things nobody has to explain afterwards: a search that finds what you meant, or a tracklist where every artist is a link. And yes – the CD database is his baby.

Lovely

Social Media

Lovely makes FreestyleMusic.de visible where people actually spend their time these days. She looks after our channels, posts news, finds and memories, answers messages and keeps the community together beyond this site as well.

A good part of what you see on our Insta Wall comes from her. And if you come across something out there that belongs in the Freestyle world: let her know.

RealFreestyle

Artist Relations & Organisation

RealFreestyle is our line to the scene. He keeps in touch with artists, managers and labels, handles enquiries, arrangements and all the organisational work that happens behind the curtain – the kind you ideally never notice from the outside.

He knows the people behind the music and makes sure an idea turns into a date in the calendar and a contact turns into a collaboration. Are you an artist who would like to work with us? Then he is the one to talk to – get in touch through our contact form.

DJ Magic Force

DJ & Livestream

DJ Magic Force takes care of the sound. He plays out and hosts our Freestyle radio show on a regular basis – live on Twitch, with chat and everything that goes with it: classics, rarities and new tracks you will not hear anywhere else.

Whenever he is on air you will see it right on the home page. On our livestream page the stream and the chat run right inside FreestyleMusic.de – so you never have to leave the site to join in.

This site lives off its community – then as now. If you have photos or scans from back in the day, know of a missing CD, would like to send us material or simply want to say hello: drop us a line. Every message is welcome.
