Freaky Flow @ Edit Monday
Edit Monday's and WFB Present
Freaky Flow @ The Cellar 1006 Granville Topaz Records, djfreakyflow.com / Toronto, Canada Monday March 1st - Due to the cancellation of the Mickey Finn tour Freaky will be Filling the slot. All ticket's carry over and are still $12. Along for the ride; Jungle Soulider – JnB – WFB - Whistler Ang – Fundamental – Get Down Prod. – Seattle Shakes – WFB – Edit Nora Dawn - Edit Soo - Edit - Good Sunday Freaky Flow, originally from Philadelphia, PA, moved with his family to Toronto before reaching four years of age. He first took a serious interest in music at the age of eleven, mesmerized by soul jazz, garage house, and hiphop. Four years later, he purchased his first set of turntables and started spinning hiphop with his skilled partner, D-Wreck. Through this genre, Freaky learned the basics – scratching, cutting, and mixing – in just that prioritized order. Jungle, drumandbass, and the underground music culture soon captured his attention; Flow, in turn, transferred his knowledge of hiphop into this new, captivating music. He found that scratching and cutting had unique properties in accompaniment with jungle. Party-going patrons worldwide quickly caught on to this sound. Consequently, Freaky Flow (always with MC Flipside on the microphone) plays on a regular basis at major events throughout Canada, the US, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, and most recently England. The transition from DJ to producer was only logical; Freaky wanted to be throwing down his own dubplates. With his partner in crime, MC Flipside, Freaky Flow oversaw the operation of Placebo Recordings (distributed by Stickman Records) between 1996 and 1999. The label led Flow to work with many acclaimed artists, including The Soul Grabber (Aquarius/Stickman), The Rascalz (ViK/BMG), and others. With his extremely busy schedule, however, Flow soon found it impossible to go to school full time, manage the Special Projects department at Stickman Records, DJ across the world, and direct and produce for a record label. Thus, to the dismay of many, Placebo Recordings’ release schedule and Freaky Flow’s studio production both came to an abrupt halt at the end of ‘99. Only now, after recently completing a film degree at the University of Toronto and retiring from his position at Stickman, has Freaky Flow been able to return to the studio. And his ideas are already starting to explode back onto vinyl. Within the last two years, he has already done remix work for 311 (Volcano/Zomba/BMG), Choclair (Virgin/EMI), Pressure Rise (Aspect), Type One (GFS/Sound Gizmo), and others. New original tracks have been completed, as well, and still others are in the works. Flow is no stranger to the mix CD, either. The “Obscene Underground – Volume 1” compilation (on Stickman Records) has thus far sold nearly 20,000 units in Canada alone. Freaky Flow’s second CD, aptly entitled “World Domination” (on Moonshine Music), was released in May 2001, and surpassed his first disc in sales, hurdling over the 20,000 unit mark. A third CD – the first ever live CD that Flow has recorded – entitled “Keep It Live” (released 2002), features MC Flipside on the microphone. Watch for his newest mix CD, "The Envy", which was released on Topaz Records, New York in August 2003.
