Fat Freddy's Drop’s pirate soul train, resolutely independent, worldwide.

Formed in 1999 in Wellington, New Zealand our sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp.


Foto are Kevin Swain and Enzo Amico.
Kevin Swain is highly respected producer who first came to the forefront of electronic dance music as DOP in the 90’s on William Orbit’s seminal Guerilla Records label. He was there at Shoom when it started and later went on to DJ at such legendary clubs like The Raid, Back to Basics, Love Ranch, Sign Of The Times, and for Charlie Chester’s Flying Records outfit. He has been consistently producing the best dance music ever since.
Enzo Amico set up Plastic Fantastic Records, the legendary London record shop and label, a move which kick-started an international DJ career, playing across the world in such clubs as Bedrock, Cream, Ministry Of Sound, Pacha (Ibiza), and many more. He now runs Plastic Music (www.plastic-music.co.uk) an online record shop and is a member of the exciting DJ outfit The Balearic Brothers (www.balearicjukebox.co.uk), spinning at festivals and clubs all over the country.
Kevin & Enzo have always shared a love for all things “Balearic”, from the early sounds of Byrne & Eno to the early ground-breaking Balearic Beats, also taking in the 80’s Italo Disco sounds. Now, Foto gives them an opportunity to take journeys into the past as well as incorporating all the new exciting sounds being produced by labels such as Eskimo, Full Pupp, Perm Vac, and Italians Do It Better.
