Breakbeat lover Freq Nasty will be the next DJ honored with a release in the celebrated FabricLive series.

Born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand, breakbeat pioneer FreQ Nasty grew up listening to his father’s stories about his rowdy rock shows (“I remember him saying when he was 14 or 15, he was earning more in a week than his dad was in a month from playing in bands!”) and dreamed of bigger possibilities. He decided at the age of 14, while working his first manual labour job, that he didn’t want to succumb to mundanely being a cog in the machine. That very same boundary breaking sensibility has always transcended through his music, from his scene-shaking classics like ‘Boomin Back Atcha’ and ‘Move Back,’ to his remixes of pop icons like Fatboy Slim, Kelis and KRS One. At the same time, he’s always been very receptive to all that surrounds him, especially when he made the move to London and immersed himself in its developing scenes. His seminal releases on Botchit & Scarper for example, forward thinking and progressive, were a sign of the fast-moving times.

Fabric will release FabricLive 42: Freq Nasty on October 13, 2008 in the UK and on November 11, 2008 in the United States.
