FreQ Nasty Born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand, breakbeat pioneer FreQ Nasty is widely-acknowledged by critics for consistently breaking boundaries with his music, from his classic breaks tunes such as « Boomin Back Atcha » and « Move Back, » to remixes of pop icons like Fatboy Slim, Kelis and KRS-One. At the same time, FreQ is receptive to all that surrounds him; for example, his move to London and immersion in its developing scenes in the 80s resulted in seminal releases on Botchit & Scarper. Forward thinking and progressive, his releases evidenced a sign of the fast- moving times. These days, FreQ Nasty is staying one step ahead of the ongoing, hype-fueled evolution of electronic music with his contributions to the Futurestep sound. The recently released FABRICLIVE.42 mix album is evidence of this shapeshifting sound: with it, FreQ takes on the bass heavy stomp of L-Vis 1990’s UK take on Baltimore house, the blistering shatter of TRG, and several of his own storming productions, including Creator, a co-production with Switch on a Santigold tune released in 2007. FreQ is also well-known in the music scene for his social activism. In early 2008, he launched Giveback.net, a socially-conscious site featuring music campaigns, whereby musicians donate music in support of non-profit « action campaigns ».
