For some reason I was feeling a techno vibe tonight. I partied with Rick West a couple times over on Davis Island and he showed up for a house party I hosted over in Tampa. I had no idea that he passed. This guy had the vibe to the core. Wow, I am just floored. The vibe was strong with me tonight. Been listening to various mixes all night just happened here right now. wow. RIP.
I had the privilege of being friends with Rick around 2001. He was an amazing, sweet loving person and a fantastic artist. I can't believe he's really gone. I'm just listening to all his stuff and crying!
It took all of 29 years of my life to be introduced to Florida "Breakbeats". And one day I was putzing around the barracks, I heard these killer beats coming from a room down the hall. When I stepped in and inquired, I was introduced to Rick West -Flavor 8 (1997) on Cassette, which was playing DJ Icey "Grand Canyon Suite." From that moment in time, I was hooked!! I blasted that cassette in my Vette everywhere I went and the reactions at traffic lght sin Arizona ere lie WTF kind of musc is that? (In a good way). Unfortunately, someone stole the dubbed cassette about 8 years later. Fast Forward nearly 20 years later, the invention of the Internet was bigger than ever, UA-cam, and Websites brought me to find Rick West online. Rick was kind enough to send me a link to all his uploaded music which inclued all of his old school Cassettes, to include Flavor 8!!! Here I am today, still scouring for lost archives to Rick West and come across Flavored Beats 7. So, before I jam to this CD I never heard yet, I wanted to send a whole-hearted shout-out to the late Rick West, and his surviving family, fiends, and loved ones. When I last visited Florida, I made my way all the way in to Tampa just to visit Painted Puppy records in hopes to meet Rick West. But timing was not on my side as he was out of town. A special Thank you to Rick West for keeping it live and changing the way I listen to music. Florida breakbeats: It's not just music; it's a way of life and Rick West changed my way of life. Rest in Peace brother. See you on the W Side.
This is my first time hearing Flavored Beats 7....i have 1-6....may i just say i have chills from head to toe!!!! Spine tingling....man i miss him in the scene!!!
We from Orlando that party and knew his music will miss him" I knewsto see him at blue room on Thursday nights just blowing it up in the early 2002 defenetly one of my favorite dj's his music will live on as long as I live.
Such a flavor-full video too. .. . Rick and I kicked it. He was always willing to help and our label with our tracks. Never was shy to comment or give praise. Miss him. Wish there was more people like him.
Well i must say, this is awesome! Thank you for uploading it!! I have been adding this track to my " The Sugar Shake 90`s Collection " Thank you! Love peace and respect! : )
Rick is the man, when it comes to Florida Break / Funky Breaks / you name it.... He's an even better producer, but thats a tough one, cause his DJing is on point man... :)
Mad love to u GR8!!!!! Yes,..Fla breaks isnt just music....it IS a way of life for all of us here!!!! Rick was my favorite....far ahead of his time musically!!!
