Does anyone know what happened to Steve Silk Hurley? I have not seen him around lately.

Thanks. I may have to listen to radio just to check that out. Does he still produce records?

I have no idea, his site hasn't been updated in about 2 years...

I used to love it when he did the "Old School Breakfast Mix" every Tuesday and Thursday morning on "The Tom Joyner Morning Show". It was a nonstop megamix of numerous old school jams blended to perfection for about ten minutes.

He still mixes on Tuesdays and Thursdays on "The Tom Joyner Morning Show" but now he gets the instrumental of an old song and mixes it with the vocals of a new song. That's when I stopped listening to it.

There are two great CDs called "The Tom Joyner Old School Mix". There are some great songs on there and they are mixed to perfection. However, they are the whole songs mixed in a continuous overlapping sequence. I would have really loved it if the entire CDs had been brief segments of numerous songs in a continous megamix like the old show used to be on the radio.

As far as him making or producing new music himself, I haven't heard anything. I think he's strictly DJing now.

The stuff that Steve Hurley did with CeCe Peniston was just incredible.

He had has own label he started around 1999 called Silk Entertainment that put out a couple of 12"s on her, amongst some other stuff. They did a track in 1999 called "He Loves Me 2" that was really very good. It was underground dance music nothing you'd ever hear on the radio. I stopped buying 12"s a few years ago, so I don't know if that label still exists. The Kym Sims record that came out at the same time as the 1st CCP record was also mostly Steve Hurley, and excellent. Very talented guy.

I miss that too, introduced me to a number of old school joints I either never heard of or haven't heard of in years.

I remember Kym Sims from the early 1990s with a song called "To Blind To See It".

He used to really do it up. Sometimes he would take the breakdown or intro of a song, loop it, and bring in track after track. The man was good.
