George Fotiadis aka BASEMENT FREAKS is one of the hottest artists
in today’s Nu-Funk/Funky-Breaks music scene.
He’s a self-taught multi-instrumentalist (he plays guitar, bass & drums)
from Thessaloniki/Greece being involved with electronic music
production since early 2000.
He’s been in city’s local scene since early 90’s as songwriter and guitarist
in some indie rock bands till he decided to form the project
Basement Freaks back in 2005.
One of the crucial points in his career was the release of his debut CD
album “URBAN JUNGLE”, released by the Greek label
MUSIC KITCHEN RECORDS back in Summer of 2006 the album got very positive feedback from some of the hottest names in international
electronic scene like STEREO MC’S and KRAAK AND SMAAK.
Almost immediately he has done remixes for various artists like
CHRIS JOSS (from ESL camp!), REPHRASE, SMOOVE & TYRRELL
gained strong support by almost everybody and positioned himself
in the global underground Funky Breakbeat music scene.
He’s first 12” EP released back in October 2007 for the USA label
SOUTH CITY RECORDINGS. In the end of the same year
Basement Freaks meets QUASAMODO and they collaborate
on the track “Move Sucka” which was released on
GOODGROOVE RECORDS, UK, being one of the bestseller
breakbeat vinyls on JUNO and FATCITY online record stores.
He was also collaborated with NewYorker sax player
MICHAEL WEISBERGER (from MILO Z’s funk band), with the famous
Nigerian Afro-Rap singer ADE BANTU,
and also with some of the best Greek musicians.
Late 2007 Basement Freaks joined forces with Quasamodo in order
to form an Cinematic, Nu-Jazz, Balkan-Beats music project called
SMOKEY BANDITS. They have worked together in Athens,
collaborated with 17 musicians and they have came out with a
ready-to-be-released full album.
The Bandits have also done a remix for CHRIS JOSS on ESL RECORDS
and currently are looking for the label which is going to
release their album.
In the meantime Basement Freaks career expanded rapidly while he has
done killer releases (digital and vinyl) for labels like GOODGROOVE, WACK,BREAKBEAT PARADISE, MANMADE, SUNSETSOUL,
ANILIGITAL MUSIC, ESL, V.I.M. BREAKS, JALAPENO and more.
He gained strong support and positive feedback from established
producers/djs of the international electronic scene like A.Skillz,
Flow Dynamics, All Good Funk Alliance, Smoove, Fort Knox Five,
Valique, almost all his releases and remixes climbed very high
in the charts of the most important record stores like JUNO, BEATPORT,
FAT CITY, DJDOWNLOAD etc, and he gained strong airplay in many radios
like BBC6 RADIO (Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show),
RADIO FUNK TRUST, NUBREAKS, PLAY FM, REPUBLIC FM, and more.
Since March of 2008 Basement Freaks is a member of “Bureau 45”
booking agency. He has played in many clubs, venues and big festivals throughout Europe living the experience of playing for different audiences.
In his portfolio there are appearances in Budapest, Cologne, Dortmund, Munster, Belgrade, Vienna, Gratz, Novi Sad, Antwerp, Moers, Nicosia,
Limasol, Zagreb and almost all cities throughout Greece!
From November of 2008 he moved from Thessaloniki to Cologne
in order to expand its career in a better way.
He co-operated and worked on radio jingles for radio station
“Funkhaus Europa” (of the WDR stable!), he toured throughout Germany
and he has released many more tunes and remixes.
2009 finds him “on fire” with more successful releases, more dj gigs,
side-projects works and new tracks on the pipeline!
