Freddy Fresh is among the most active and prolific American
underground dance music artists, having released more than a hundred
records on dozens of different labels worldwide . Born and bred in
St. Paul Minnesota, Fresh's name is more often associated with the
London UK scene, to which he relocated in the late '90s after having
top 40 chart success with 2 of his songs. Fresh's first record label
was formed in late 1992 and was called Analog Recordings. His label
empire then grew to include a host of sub labels (Analog UK,
Butterbeat, Electric Music Foundation and then Socket and Boriqua
labels) In addition to a growing stateside audience, Fresh is also
one of the few contemporary non-Detroit techno/electro musicians to
have a strong European following, and his records for Experimental,
Harthouse, and Martin "Biochip C" Damm's Anodyne label have
strengthened his international presence. Although Freddy's release
history has included tracks in just about every style from hip-hop
and house to techno and trance, his roots and most consistently
pursued affectation lay in electro and breaks; his records thrive on
buzzing modular analog noises and resolutely dirty production
techniques, resulting in a distinct, instantly recognizable brand of
funky, minimal, somewhat experimental dance music.
Although Fresh grew up a gothic rock/new wave junkie, a trip to the
"boogie down" Bronx in 1984 introduced him to the thriving NYC
hip-hop scene. Instantly smitten, Fresh began collecting DJ tapes
(Shep Pettibone, The Latin Rascals, Marley Marl, anything he could
get his hands on) and, of course, records -- everything from Jonzun
Crew and Newcleus to Liquid Liquid and Cerrone, Shannon and Cat
Stevens -- and his collection has since grown to thousands of
phonograph records(making his side gigs as a DJ a bit easier).
Fresh's first work behind the boards came via Bronx legends Boogie
Down Productions, with Fred remixing a track for a B-side release and
from there, Freddy began piecing together a studio, collecting many
of the ancient analog and modular synthesizers that give his records
their distinct, almost studio-jam feel (he mixes all his tracks live
and sequences with an MPC 2oooXL and an MPC 4000 and uses rare
pre-midi analog synths and modular systems). In 1992, after releasing
debut singles on Nu Groove and Silvo Tancredis' Experimental imprint,
Fresh established his first label, Analog, to release his own tracks.
The label and its offshoots have since attracted such weighty names
as Thomas Heckman, Tim Taylor, Cari Lekebusch, DJ Slip, the Bassbin
Twins, and Biochip C. In 1995, Fresh inked a contract with noted
German techno label Harthouse, and his second full-length,
Accidentally Classic, was released by the label's U.K. arm in late
1996, with a Harthouse U.S. reissue following close behind. His third
album, The Last True Family Man, followed on Harthouse Eye Q and
spawned 2 international chart hits along with a song featuring Fat
Boy Slim. Several singles and a mix album followed until the release
of his next full-length, Music for Swingers in 2001.
Additionally, Fresh has released records through Wisconsin-based acid
stronghold Drop Bass Network, Labworks, and noted German electro
label Electrecord. Fresh also formed a collectors label specializing
in 45 RPM singles called Howlin' Record in the year 2000 and has
since released over 35 singles and 4 full length CD's on the Howlin'
imprint with the following titles.. "Have Records Will Travel",
"Outstanding In His Field", "Diggin' Up Ghosts" and "Surrounded By
Funk", as well as HowlinÆ Greatest Hits. Freddy has also revamped his
Electric Music Foundation label for a CD only full length releases
debuting with the album called "Textura" these recordings center
around electronic synthesized music and electronica while the Howlin'
releases are more funky breaks and party style hip hop tracks.
In the year 2004 Fresh released a reference book dealing with the
history of the early independent old school rap scene that catalogues
every conceivable rap label from 1979 to 1989, this book has been
featured in The Source, Vibe, The New York Times, Village Voice and
has gone on to win journalism awards in the United States and has
been recognized as the only reference book on this subject. The book
is called Freddy Fresh presents The Rap Records (Nerby Publishing
LLC). Currently Fresh is working on a second book dealing with his
experiences as an Electronic artist and his time spent with Sony
music and his ups and downs in the electronic music industry.
In 2007 Fresh will be starting up a new label called Stark Raving
Records which will feature conscientious hip hop by St. Paul rapper
The Conductor Crucified which will of course feature Fresh's
trademarked beats and production styles.
This CD can be purchased in the USA at www.trafficent.com or
Europe/UK www.kudosrecords.co.uk
Fresh's music has also enjoyed commercial success with releases
featured in films like Austin Powers Goldmember, Jackie Chan's Tuxedo
and commercials by Adidas, Budweiser and Coors Lite etc.. Fresh also
tours regularly and has DJ'd in over 34 countries and has performed
for televised programs MTV Canada, Club TV, S2, House Viva TV, Club
Spain etc.. and over 300 radio programs throughout the world
including 2 sessions for the legendary late John Peel of famed Radio
One BBC England.
