Freq Nasty

b. Darin McFadyen, 15 November 1969, Fiji. Elevated in New Zealand, Freq Nasty is normally, despite his incredible origins, agreed upon to the UK’s important unbiased Botchit & Scarper. The label is normally a purveyor of ‘nu-school breaks’ – experimental, abstract electro as practised by performers such as for example Adam Freeland, Spirit Of Man, Tayo and Rennie Pilgrem. Certainly, his one ‘Funky As…’ premiered on Freeland’s label, Sea Parade. His challenging, digital rhythms are punctuated with obscure, kitsch examples of film dialogue and synthesised squelches and bleeps. Sometimes, he uses the vocal abilities of rappers such as for example Phoebe One as well as the drum ‘n’ bass MC, Skibadee. His debut one for Botchit & Scarper, ‘Boomin’ Back again Atcha’, became favored by even more underground DJs. His following one ‘Underglass’ also produced a direct effect on dancefloors and in the music press and set up his trademark audio of ‘acidity’ noises underpinned by brutal breakbeats and effective bass. ‘Freq-A-Zoid’, his third solitary, was a shock. Alluding to Kraftwerk, Daft Punk and Les Rythmes Digitales, it had been an unusual cut of ‘tech-funk’ that demonstrated to work similarly well on techno, home and hip-hop dancefloors. Freq Nasty, and his studio room partner Blim, possess remixed Sousounde’s ‘Metisse’ and Steve Reich’s ‘Desert Music’. McFadyen can be an in-demand DJ, playing all around the globe with the seminal Big Defeat Boutique (Norman Make’s home golf club) at its location, London’s Scala. His debut Freq’s Geeks & Mutilations received ecstatic compliment from the united kingdom music press, earned over from the album’s relaxing experimentation and undeniable funkiness.
