FreQ Nasty - Y4K

  • Share
  • FreQ Nasty is quite simply a superstar of the Breaks circuit. As a DJ or Producer, he is ruthless, demanding respect from Sydney to London and all the places he’s left his mark in between. As a producer, he has remixed the likes of Fatboy Slim, Gorillaz and KRS-One amongst others. As a DJ, he has left dancefloors in awe at clubs such as Fabric, Home and Twilo. His latest offering for fans is the latest installment in the very excellent Y4K/Y3K series, following other respected artists like Hyper and Koma & Bones. If you are a fan of this series then you’ll know what to expect from FreQ, pure breakbeat joy! The mix starts to crank early with cuts from Tayo and Lexicon Avenue with “Wicked Dub” and “Here I Am” respectively. The base fills your ears with “Resident Soundboyz” from Almighty Beatfreakz, a sound straight from the London underground. FreQ’s very own nasty edit of Fatboy Slim’s “Retox” is thankfully included as is his own production, “Goose”, again a baseline driven frenzy. The mix takes an unexpected turn with “Words of the Wise” by Henry & Louis, slowing the mix to a halt with some laid back Reggae! We are soon back into 4th gear, however, with the very appealing “My House Is Your House” by Phil Keiran. FreQ whips out a classic with one of the Chemical Brother’s finest moments, “Under The Influence”, hand in hand with a “Never Afraid” accapella, signifying FreQ’s intentions to put that little bit extra with this mix. The mix then closes with some real gems, notably “Lord of the Null Lines” by Hyper-On-Experience. This mix is definitely a worthy addition to this brilliant series from the crew at Distinctive Breaks. Mixed beautifully, with a really vibrant track selection, FreQ really demonstrates why he is such a crowd favourite here in Sydney. Tracklisting: 1 Total Fusion feat.
