Freestylers' sound is exactly as their name suggests: a heady blend of brash, hip-hop-inspired grooves resulting in a hypersonic amalgamation that knows no barriers. Born and raised in London, a city steeped in British, West Indian, African, and Asian influences, producers Aston Harvey and Matt Cantor, don't believe in being confined to musical styles. Though breakbeats lay the foundation for their music, anything can enter the mix: drum & bass, dancehall vocals, house rhythms, electro and hip-hop. Flitting between the grooves of dance, reggae and hip-hop styles, Freestylers craft a raw yet infectious aural melting pot that shakes dance floors and headphones around the globe.
Fans and critics alike responded overwhelmingly to the bands debut effort. Rolling Stone said, "...when it comes to electronica, we want instant gratification, big hooks and beats, stoopid-fresh funkiness and little fuzz about art. London�s Freestylers fit the bill." Alternative Press stated, "Unlike many young British dance producers, Freestylers have earned the respect of some of music's most revered innovators." While Mixer proclaimed, "A perfect combination of old school hip-hop, new school breakbeat and good times best describes U.Ks Freestylers,"
