(..Fred the Builder?)
Yeah, I guess I couldn’t come up with a clever title for this blog post, aaaand the picture is slightly punny at best, but that doesn’t make this post any less HOT! We got tunes comin’ at you from two sides of the underground today, by a pair of artists who know how to keep it interesting. As music continues to evolve and expand, these guys aren’t opposed to bending the rules to suit their taste!
Freddy Todd, featured here in the past, hasn’t slowed down in the months since we last saw him, as far as I can tell. With several releases by labels such as Car Crash Set, with the latest being the “Can’t Fathom This” Remixes, Freddy is fast earning a name for himself in the world of Glitch Hop. Word on the street seems to be that we can expect an upcoming release from Freddy on Run Riot Records later this year. Mr. Todd laid a few tracks on us, specifically of the “kick ass” variety. His tunes take hip hop beats, dub bass, and retro synth lines and run them through a juicer, producing only the wonkiest and fattest of liquidy goodness.

TheBuilder, who I suppose we can affectionately call “Dan The Builder”, has been rockin’ the dubstep scene for about a year. As a guitarist turned two-steppin’ producer, he’s been around a bit in his slice of Bay Area hometown. Cranking out dubs that range from slow and rolling, to fast and frisky, TheBuilder has gotten some pretty good attention over the past months. With a release on Crossroads Records last December, and an upcoming release on Sub Pressure, I’m sure this won’t be the last that we hear of this man and the abominations he’s so fond of building!
