FreQ Nasty
Cowboy Spliff
The nu-school breaks movement has been gathering momentum on both sides of the Atlantic, thanks to artists such as B.L.I.M., Adam Freeland, Rennie Pilgrem, and this man FreQ Nasty. Mr Nasty -- aka Darin McFayden -- came to fame with a plethora of hard-hitting releases on Botchit & Scarper (a sub-label of drum and bass imprint Emotif) and Marine Parade. His tracks "FreQ-A-Zoid," "Boomin' Back Atcha," and "Move Back," co-produced with T Power, have been smashed by all and sundry on dance floors across the globe.
FreQ Nasty's production is instantly recognizable by its dark electro-inspired breakbeats, low slung drum and bass-lines, and corrosive synths. This boy is hot property, with labels F-111, Skint, and Cowboy Spliff breathing down his neck. "Under Glass," taken from the Cowboy Spliff nu-school breaks and electro compilation Electric Kingdom, is a prime example of his take-no-prisoners style of production.
