MAIN EVENT
Main Headliner:
1st ever Utah appearance!!
From the days of Breakbeat's origins, FreQ Nasty established himself as one of the scene's pioneers, producing many of the genre's defining moments. As Breakbeat came into its own, FreQ Nasty's tunes remained ahead of the pack and now he is on the cutting edge of the FutureStep movement, a chaotic loose assemblage of sonic renegades, steeped in the traditions of Breaks, Dubstep, Rock, Ragga, Grime and Funk: twisting just about anything that moves the masses into new forms for the dance floor. Chopping in and out of slow motion Halfstep beats, FreQ is creating a new sound, referencing Breaks in the spirit that spawned the Genre … twisting the fuck out of whatever is on hand to create something fresh for the ears, full fat for the feet, and free on the mind … watch yo ass follow in 2007!!
A UK resident by way of Fiji and New Zealand, FreQ Nasty started his career at underground record label Botchit & Scarper in the late nineties and has gone on to release a slew of cutting-edge records through labels such as SKINT (as a label mate of Fatboy Slim), Finger Lickin' Records, and Adam Freeland’s Marine Parade (as High Pryme with BLIM). Whilst tinkering with the back end of dance music culture, from the depths of South London's Peckham and Brixton to Whitechapel in East London, where human interaction is at its most raw and hungry, FreQ's carved a radical aural geometry out of uncut bassline material and diamond-tipped breakbeats, crafting the sound of inner-city danger and excitement into some of the toughest dance floor music of the millennium.
FreQ began gestating the Breaks sound at Jungle/Drum&Bass label SOUR in the late 90’s. This new sound rolled with the same rough-edged attitude and dynamism as drum and bass, but at a slower more fusion friendly tempo, incorporating elements of Jungle, HipHop, Techno, Bashment, Electro, Garage, all with the space and bottom end of Dub and Reggae -‘Breakbeat’ as we now know it. FreQ’s genre-defining debut album FreQ’s Geeks and Mutilations launched him into 1999. Fueled by releases the likes of ‘Boomin’ Back Atcha’ and ‘Freq-A–Zoid’, Breakbeat flourished and so did he, punching out the slithering, galaxy-sized bassline of his remix of Steve Reich’s ‘Desert Music’, and retooling Sosounde’s Metisse’ with fellow pioneer BLIM. Since then, the likes of Fatboy Slim, Kelis, Filter, and KRS One have all felt the benefit of a Freq Nasty re-rub. Past collaborators have been artists as diverse as Roots Manuva, Reggae legend Junior Delgado, Public Enemy, Rodney P, Switch/SolidGroove, Phoebe One and many more.
2003’s Bring Me the Head of Freq Nasty impacted right into the rubble of dance music, at a time when genre distinctions were collapsing and orthodoxies disintegrating on an hourly basis. FreQ then marched out on tour with the Video Nasty Experience, an eye-melting DVDJ/VJ fusion of graphics, typography and FreQ’s ‘dreaded’ cartoon likeness. This multi-screen attack on the senses was perpetrated by a hit squad of animation and motion graphic assassins – including the Brothers Mogg from Peter Jackson’s company Weta Digital, and Jamie Hewlitt’s Zombie Flesh Eaters. Album tracks ‘Amped’ and ‘Goose’ traversed genres effortlessly, being played by Breakbeat, Garage, House, Techno and Electro jocks simultaneously in the same way that Timo Maas’s mix of Azzido Da Bass’s ‘Doom’s Night’ or Alter Ego’s “Rocker” was ... tunes for discerning clubbers on any dance floor. FreQ is treading the same path now, only levels ahead with his take on the Halfstep movement, a sound he first experimented with in 1999 on his debut album, and then again in 2003, remixing Kelis at exactly half the tempo of Breaks - creating a deep slow-motion bass roller that kept the energy of the higher tempo inflection whilst playing with beats the way Timbaland might if he munched pills on the weekend with Dillinja and George Clinton. As the Dubstep scene in London has flourished, it seemed a logical stop-in for FreQ and he has been serving up heavy doses of the FutureStep sound in clubs - Breaks, Dubstep or otherwise - across the world.
