Biography of The Beat Freakers
Under the moniker of 'The Beat Freakers,' Adam Addison and Greg Carlson seek to redefine the climate of House and Breaks in North America. Whether behind the decks or in the studio, these two Chicago natives work tirelessly to fuse their two main musical influences into an innovative new form.
As DJ's, 'The Beat Freakers' have a resume that highlights their ability to construct diverse live performances. By providing support to artists such as Rabbit in the Moon, The Drummatic Twins, The Freestylers, Donald Glaude, Mixmaster Mike, Josh 'The Funky 1,' Jesse Saunders, Ed Rush and Optical, and DJ Craze, 'The Beat Freakers' have solidified their rank within the top tier of the International electronic music community. Their high-energy style establishes an immediate rapport with any audience, and their desire to recreate a studio session in real time sets them apart from the current crop of lackluster performers. Using samples, locked grooves, and acapellas in conjuction with turntable trickery and furious scratch sessions, 'The Beat Freakers' craft live sets that are eclipsed only by their original productions.
Their first single, entitled 'Duck and Cover,' is a funky breaks bomb inspired by their Chicago House roots. Remixed by Myagi (aka Sole Claw), undoubtedly one of the most prolific Breaks producers in North America, the EP found a home with the fledgling 'Funky Cactus Recordings' based in San Francisco. This signing made them label mates of the legendary 'Bassbin Twins,' among others, and set the stage for their acid laden breakbeat follow-up single entitled 'Slow Your Roll.' With 'Slow Your Roll' nearing completion, the future will find 'Beat Freaker' originals in the most watched record crates all over the world.
Never the kind of artists to squander their momentum, 'The Beat Freakers' have a number of high profile gigs in 2005 that should continue to bolster their International status, the largest being a return to the main stage of the 2005 World Electronic Music Festival. While the grassroots have been extremely kind (including over 15,000 downloads of their last two mixes distribued online), the stage is set for 'The Beat Freakers' to take their place at the forefront of the next generation of industry leaders.
