sebastianc Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 GU 32 Review from Residentadviser.netBreaks pioneer Adam Freeland mixes up rock, breaks, house and minimal on the latest Global Underground volume. 'GU 32: Mexico ' hits shelves in June.Freeland has been championed as a breaks DJ since the mid-nineties, especially for his genre-pioneering 'Coastal Breaks' volumes and nu-skool mixes 'On Tour' and 'Tectonics'. But he's also been known to mix it up. 'Fabriclive 16' showed he was not averse to crossing breaks with hip-hop and electro while his debut album 'Now and Them' brought the genre to the mainstream by flirting with rock, vocals and rap.His latest double CD compilation for Global Underground sees him moving another step away from the sound that earned him props: ‘GU 32: Mexico’ has a surprising tracklist, throwing minimal [My My, Cobblestone Jazz], dub techno [substance & Vainqueur] and French dance punk [Justice, Para One and K.I.M] into the mix. So what happened to the breaks, Adam? "The idea of breaks as a limited formulaic genre that has to sound a certain way to be considered righteous is the spirit of what I've always fought against, " Freeland told RA. "What I play is about attitude and sensibility rather than genre purism. The likes of Justice, Phones, SebastiAn and Evil Nine are the very spirit of breaks, and the finest that have existed date. Pure energy, raw punk attitude and high production value that first excited me about genre."While CD1 concentrates on dance punk, CD2 sees Freeland moving further towards 4/4 as he cosies up to dub techno and even minimal house. "There are definitely more minimal and deeper moments on this CD than my last few mixes,†explains Freeland. “I think partly down to the fact that this is my first double mix CD in almost ten years, so I've really been able to spread my wings and indulge myself fully in whatever I wanted to do. So many boundaries have broken down now and there is so much incredible music out there. I would never have dreamed two years ago that I could get away with mixing from tracks by Holden and Gui Boratto to Silversun Pickups’ 'Lazy Eye', which is pure drone rock, into dubby minimalism like Substance & Vainqueur, then back into Fujiya and Miyagi." But Freeland stresses the mix isn't eclectic just for the sake of it. "What excites me is to forge the links between rock, breaks, house, minimal, whatever and be like a clearinghouse for all that is innovative and fucking great in dance musicâ€. Here’s the tracklist that is causing the fuss in breaks purists circles:http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=8664 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmovement33 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 adam freeland's gu 032 mexico city was inspired by this set earlier this year. for all of you spanish speakers. here are some news items in mexico at the time of his set.Cookie Presenta:The recording of Global Underground 032Adam Freeland - Mexico City@ContinentalFriday January 19th, 2007 Nuestro evento en el sitio oficial de Glubal Underground www.globalunderground.co.uk/news.phpAdam Freeland Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Adam comenzó dentro del house, y en seguida consiguió hacerse un nombre al incluir elementos de hip hop y electro en sus sets. Después de poco tiempo se caracterizo’ por utilizar 3 tornamesas, samplers y cajas de efectos, logrando un nuevo sonido y su propia marca de breaks futuristas que nacen del Techno y el Drum’n Bass. A los 24 años, Adam logró hacerse un hueco en el mundo de la música dance gracias a su gran talento y visión para escapar del breakbeat con fecha de caducidad. Habiendo debutado en la escena de clubs londinense en 1992, no fue hasta 1996, con su primer CD mezclado "Coastal Breaks", cuando consiguió el reconocimiento de la crÃtica, y comenzarÃa a pinchar por toda Inglaterra y en Estados Unidos. En 1997 Adam consiguió el respeto y el apoyo de otros artistas como Carl Cox, Chemical Brothers, Sasha o Andy Weatherall. Incluso llegó a tocar en varias de las fechas del tour de Carl Cox, "Fact 2". En aquella época creó, junto a Rennie Pilgrim y Tayo, el concepto "Friction", una fiesta que se desarrollaba en el Bar Rumba de Londres y que impresionaba a los que por primera vez se acercaban al sonido de los nu skool breaks. A finales de año consiguió grabar su primer single con su amigo Kevin Beber bajo el pseudónimo Tsunami One, su hit “hiphop phenomenon†se convertiria en uno de los temas ineludibles de casi todas las pistas de baile. El éxito conseguido con Tsunami One le lleva a remezclar a gente como The Orb, DeeJay PunkRoc, The Headrillaz y Junior Boys. En 1998 Adam hace un tour por Australia junto a DJ Krush, Pressure Drop y Jose Padilla antes de volver a grabar un segundo recopilatorio de la colección Coastal Breaks para el sello React Records. "Coastal Breaks 2" conseguirÃa el premió a album del mes en distintas magazines y la crÃtica colocarÃa a Adam Freeland como el rey de los 'new skool breaks' que le llevaron a ser residente de muchos clubes alrededor de Europa.En el 96 Adam creo’ su propio sello, Marine Parade, que toma el nombre de la calle de Brighton donde acabó mudándose. Su disquera es responsable de artistas como Evil 9, Ils, Beber amoungst y otros más. Poco tiempo después formaria su propia banda “Freeland†lanzando su primer album “Now and them†del cual se desprende el éxitoso “We want your soulâ€el cual envia un mensaje en contra de la cultura pop del planeta. Remixeo a Nirvana, Smells Like Freeland y a los White Stripes, Seven Nation Freeland, siendo de los bootlegs mas tocados y que marcaron una tendencia de Breaks/Rock cuando salieron a la venta. Actualmente es uno de los Dj’s mas reconocidos del Reino Unido y también de los que mas tours tienen agendados; es actual residente del Club Fabric de Londres despues de grabar el Fabric Live 16. Adam Freeland tras más de 10 años de carrera en la escena mundial se presenta por primera vez en México y no es una visita ordinaria, Cookie Presenta se viste de gala y realiza la producción para el evento que marcara’ historia en la escena mexicana, la grabación del Global Underground 32 Mexico City mixed by Adam Freeland. Global Underground es una serie de compilaciones que reflejan presentaciones de los Djs mas afamados en locaciones alrededor del planeta. Esta serie es lanzada al mercado bajo el sello Boxed.Desde su primer álbum en 1996 se vino una gran ola de éxitos para la serie. Aunque el genero dominante dentro de la serie es el Progressive house también se pueden encontrar compilaciones de trance, house y breakbeats.Global Underground escoge las ciudades que mayor influencia han tenido para con la escena mundial, de esta manera se le da el reconocimiento al formar parte de la lista de ciudades preferidas por los Dj’s mas importantes del mundo quienes recorren año con año buscando una nueva ciudad preferida.Pero Global Underground no solo mantiene la serie principal sino que también comenzó algunas sub-series como son:- Nubreed: contiene a los talentos en ascenso, aunque también ha presentado artistas con mucha experiencia como Anthony Pappa y Satoshi Tommie. - 24:7: es la serie que pide a los artistas presentar dos propuestas musicales contrastantes bajo el concepto de dÃa y noche. - Electric Calm: son compilaciones de Chill out - Afterhours: compila música no necesariamente electrónica para después de la fiesta. - Lights Out: es la serie llevada a cabo por Steve Lawler, en ella se encuentran los sonidos más obscuros de la pista hasta la luz que emite un Global Underground. Steve Lawler no solamente ha traÃdo nuevos sonidos mediante esta compilación, sino que también ha impuesto nuevas formas nunca antes vistas en un cd mezclado en estudio. - GU Music: se refiere al sello que rompe el esquema de albumes mezclados y presenta la musica de los más grandes exponentes del planeta en sus versiones originales y completas. En esta serie han presentado a artistas como Unkle, Lostep y Trafik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
