Adam Freeland

Adam was one of the key founders of the UK breakbeat movement. His Coastal Breaks mix series was the first of its kind by many years. Adam formed his own band 'Freeland' and released the debut album "Now & Them". The main single 'We Want Your Soul' was a smashing success and struck a chord and even ironically became a top 40 chart hit in various countries round the world. His remixes of Nirvana ( Smells Like Freeland) and White Stripes (Seven Nation Freeland), were the first 'breaks/rock' bootlegs of their kind and have become legendary. He established the highly respected 'Marine Parade' label in 96, responsible, for Evil Nine, Ils, Beber amongst many others and is also one of the most well established and heavily toured DJ's on the planet. His "Back to Mine" and Global Underground CDs have gained him a new following and international gigs including Coachella and a Fabric residency. Adam is known for his eclectic taste and ability to rock dance floors no matter what the crowd.

Adam also owns and runs his own label Marine Parade. It released Freeland?s breakthrough full-length artist album, 2003?s Now & Them, which spawned the smash single ?We Want Your Soul,? a Top 40 chart hit in various countries ?round the world that also resulted in an award-winning video. The follow up to Now & Them was released in spring 2009: it was as genre-shattering as ever, with guest slots from Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago, Tony Bevilacqua, Brody Dalle and Jerry from Devo. ?Creatively, the sound I want to hear? somewhere between Soulwax and Sonic Youth, Justice and My Bloody Valentine?doesn?t exist yet, so I had to go and make it,? Freeland explains. ?I?ve always played whatever I want, but the audience now is even more receptive. There?s been limits, but now it?s wide open.?

Contrary to popular confusion, Adam Freeland and Adam F (a drum n' bass DJ who is also from the UK) are not the same person.
