THE FREESTYLERS, UK - Against the Grain / www.thefreestylers.com
So, here’s what you probably already know about The Freestylers - They've made over 50 songs, sold over half a million records, scorched the charts with jams like “Push Up” and “B-Boy Stance”, have won numerous awards over the years, frequently tour with their live band, had their track “Ruffneck” licensed in the hit movie Zoolander and have even opened for Lenny Kravitz! Albums like “We Rock Hard” (sold 250,000+ copies), “Pressure Point” (over 150,000+ copies) and then in 2004 their third album to date “Raw As F**k” on Against the Grain have all gained critical acclaim and the duo are now hard at work on their forth album due for release in 2006.
The Freestylers sound is rooted in Hip Hop but has evolved into a unique British concoction, taking in everything from Dancehall to Reggae, Electro to Soul and Breakbeat to Drum and Bass. "It’s pretty tricky trying to sum us up," admits Matt Cantor. Aston continues, “It’s quite mad really - two funky white boys bringing all these groups of people together." – And they are continuing to do this by “having fun making music that people can dance their ing ass off to” says Matt… And they’ve proved that yet again by collaborating with Drum and Bass dons Pendulum on one of the biggest tracks of 2005, “Fasten Your Seatbelt” out on Breakbeat Kaos.
It’s been way to long since we’ve had both Matt and Aston back here to Vancouver and Twisted is proud to welcome back one of the most influential duo’s in Breakbeats past and present – THE FREESTYLERS!

FREESTYLERS vs. PENDULUM ROUND 2!!!
The Freestylers continue their musical assault with Against The Grain on their new single “Painkiller”, the first track to be taken from their forthcoming “Adventures In Freestyle” album. Teaming up! with drum ‘n’ bass bad boys Pendulum, we see this awesome combination produce a rock filled, drum ‘n’ bass mash-up, as MC Sir Real comes correct with his rawkus vocals. High calibre remixes come courtesy of Ed Solo & Skool Of Thought, as well as Noisia. “Painkiller” is released 11th September, with “Adventures In Freestyle” out on 25th September. |
