Biography
Tonasia recorded “Wondering” for Micmac Records in 1988, catalog number MIC-509, one of the earliest releases on the label that would become freestyle’s great New York independent. The 12″ carried five mixes, with additional production by Rick Bottari and Tommy Nappi, and the writing credited to O. Soba and T. Annunziata.
“Wondering” became a collector’s staple of the Micmac catalog and has been anthologized on the label’s compilation series ever since, including a DJ Giuseppe D. remix in the 1990s.
Little else about Tonasia reached print, which is true of many artists on Micmac’s early roster. The record is the biography: a five-mix single from freestyle’s peak year, still traded on vinyl and still played wherever the label’s catalog is celebrated.
