Adam Freeland (UK)
From Burning Man to Watergate to Coachella and beyond, you’ll often find Adam Freeland behind the decks, igniting minds and dancefloors alike. With 17 years of extensive global touring history behind him, you might have caught the U.K. born Grammy-nominated DJ/producer whipping up main-stage audiences at the world’s biggest festivals – or reveled in him dropping deep and dirty sounds in the most discerning underground clubs across the globe.
True to his crate-digging roots, you never know what you’ll hear at a Freeland gig. Immersing oneself into his catalogue of original productions and DJ mixes makes clear Freeland’s musical knowledge runs deeper than passing dance-music genres and trends. “As soon as you attach yourself to a sound and scene, your true creativity lies down to die,” Freeland says. That’s clear from the range of styles and genres captured on Freeland’s pioneering Fabric Live mix (which stemmed from Freeland’s longtime residency at London’s legendary Fabric club) to his Global Underground, to his entry in the legendary Back To Mine series (which showed influences so diverse, it ignited controversy about what constitutes a DJ mix) to appearances on BBC radio shows and his own Internet-dropped sets.
Throughout his career, Freeland has always been as much a recording artist as a record spinner. Many of his productions have appeared on Freeland’s renowned Marine Parade label, like his groundbreaking U.K. top 40 hit, “We Want Your Soul.” Freeland’s essential re-edits, like his infamous chop-up if Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” consistently prove an underground sensation. Meanwhile, Freeland’s remixes have gained mainstream acclaim – his take on Sarah Vaughn’s “Fever” garnered a Grammy nomination. It’s all part of Freeland’s ongoing plan to turn the masses on to the most forward, challenging electronic grooves – all while rocking the party.
In reaction to electronic music exploding into a mainstream throwaway pop culture of ever decreasing attention spans, recent times have seen Freeland take his sound into deeper territory. “In a world full of disposability, I don’t even want to try to compete,” he explains. “ Without compromise, I want to play music from my heart, that of quality, depth and integrity. From my experience, when I play the music that I want to hear, there is always a crowd who will really appreciate that”.
Bushwacka! (UK)
Bushwacka! has held many guises in his journey through electronic music. Launching his career as Matthew B in the midst of the UK acid house explosion, his identity and sound has undertaken many a metamorphosis,
through Bushwacka!, The End Soundsystem, Layo and Bushwacka! & JUST BE. His continual evolution, thirst for new
sounds and epic touring schedule has ingrained his many identities across the international club scene.
His roots grew out of the underground warehouse parties and illegal outdoor raves that shook the foundations of the establishment, quite literally, and gave inspiration to a new generation of ravers. This anarchic environment
gave JUST BE total creative freedom, an ethos that continues to this day in his music, always pushing the boundaries of House, Breakbeat, Techno, Downtempo and Ambient.
Bushwacka emerged from the melting pot of the UK electronic music scene of the late 80s early 90s and was soon hosting up to four residencies in London every weekend at some of the best parties around, from the Rat Pack to the Clink Street warehouse parties. The End - London’s legendary club, situated
in an abandoned train tunnel became his home for 14 years, this residency acted as a springboard into the international circuit. From here he has toured the worlds biggest clubs and festivals.
