Fat freddys drop

The rebirth of Live At The Matterhorn the 2001 album that captured the essence of Fat Freddy’s Drop jam origins. Finally available on heavyweight vinyl. The new limited edition 2LP 180gm vinyl features a track per side ‘Runnin’, ‘Rain’, ‘No Parking’ and ‘Bounce’ spanning a total of 70 minutes. Mastered by Calyx Studio, Berlin.
Limited edition LATM available at FFD shop bit.ly/1FU0uJs﻿

Originally released on CD in 2001, the recording was made when Freddys was honing its sound and chops in the Wellington underground music scene, and taken from a mini disc feed from the desk.
The stage was literally the back garden of Wellington’s den of iniquity The Matterhorn just down the road from Ghuznee HQ. The audience consisted of a random collection of 30 people most of whom from memory were hospitality workers having a drink after work. Legend.
Having started as a few musician mates playing along to instrumental B-side records dropped by DJ MU aka Fitchie, by 2001 Freddys was a solid six piece who liked nothing better than to jam. Freddys distinctive hi-tek soul qualities shine through led by the velvet vocals of singer Joe Dukie aka Dallas Tamaira. It’s Fulla Flash aka Warren Maxwell on saxophone, the fore runner to Chopper Reeds. Trombonist Hopepa aka Joe Lindsay is yet to join the band.

‘Live At The Matterhorn’ went on to sell Platinum in New Zealand and while it pre-dates the bands record breaking ‘Based On A True Story’ studio album it's a touchstone for those wanting to experience Freddys early jams, the source for where Freddys story began.

Wheels are turning to the dance floor as audio geeks DiCE work their electronic magic on the tune first released on our BAYS album. 
"The initial inspiration for the track was FFD being in the UK - I was a 90's raver traveling to (UK) venues like S.E.ONE, Brixton Academy & Sanctuary warehouse regularly. We drew inspiration from these memories of 'back in the day' to start with, then put our spin on things with a bit of analog synth and drum machine business to finish up" Dave from DiCE said. Roll the DiCE https://soundcloud.com/dice_nz
DiCE are a duo based in AKL and pack a solid musical pedigree. Christiaan aka Crispy Fresh has been at the cutting edge of NZ hop-hop, R&B and house since before the internet and was one half of House of Downtown. Dave sets the British mode. After moving to NZ from UK he's been dropping funk, disco and noughties references DJing at clubs across the city and various local radio airwaves. Chur bros!
