Adam Freeland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adam Freeland is a UK-based DJ and producer specialising in nu skool breaks. Like his record label, Marine Parade, he is a resident of Brighton. As a producer, he formed half of Tsunami One with Kevin Beber, and released a solo album as Freeland; as a DJ he operates solo under his own full name.
In 1996, Adam Freeland's Coastal Breaks album heralded the beginning of something new - Breakbeat. By 1997 Adam had earned the respect of fellow DJs Sasha, Carl Cox and the Chemical Brothers. Since then Adam has released the Tectonics and On Tour mix albums, as well as a FabricLive mix, and groundbreaking Back To Mine. Freeland's debut artist album Now and Them, released in 2003, relied on influences from punk, hip hop, electro, dub, reggae and rock. Freeland's remix of Sarah Vaughan's 'Fever' was nominated for a Grammy and his personally requested mix of The Doors 'Hello, I Love You' has led to critical acclaim.
