'The Freestylers' have taken many forms; a breakbeat production duo, internationally acclaimed DJs of breaks - nu skool and old, a 5 piece band, songwriters, remixers.... Aston is flown all round the world to DJ, but the primary Freestylers fan-base can be found in the UK and Australia (Aussie's seem to love Breakbeat in particular).
We recorded this episode just before Christmas and it's being released just after - so please forgive us for wishing you all a fabulous day, that's already been and gone!
Anyone wanting more Freestylers information, specifically their many releases, please email Camilla at: aredheadabdablonde@aol.com (put FREESTYLERS in subject line).
