Freq Nasty & Kid Kenobi

The artist known as FreQ Nasty AKA Darin McFadyen has over the last few years become known as the man behind a unique sound, championed by producers and DJ's alike- The person most likely to pull dance music out of the occasional creative cul-de-sac it finds itself in once every few seasons.

Born in the pacific Island of Fiji but brought up even further round the world in New Zealand Darin's musical upbringing was by his own admission unique. Not so much because his parents were into anything drastically avant garde, but because being that far outside the UK he was afforded the opportunity of growing up without the snobbery that comes with this country's obsession with musical categorisation. You can see this 'across the board' influence throughout Darin's work.

It was with the follow-up 'Underglass' however that Darin really started to make some waves. Truly a filthy f**ker of a record it was near pornographic in its pursuit of the perfect low down and dirty kick. Acid sounds bent out of shape coupled with super-tight percussion and breaks pinned down by the fierce low-end responses that subsequently have become the FreQ Nasty trademark. 'Underglass' tweaked the music press enough for them to run articles in Muzik, NME, Update, and Jockey Slut. The ball was starting to roll...

Just one beat. That's all it takes for 26 year-old DJ Kid Kenobi to fill the dancefloor. Arguably the most well known DJ in Australia, he is certainly one of the most well loved. And not just at home. In the last seven odd years Kid Kenobi has fast come to be regarded as one of the central driving forces behind the international success of the Australian breaks scene.
