Far Too Loud, a.k.a. Oli Cash, has gained a significant reputation in dance
music for quality, dancefloor-destroying production. Originally rooted in
breakbeat, the FTL sound was quickly recognized as being something
different through the influence of other styles of dance music. Over the past
four years the sound has developed and diversified but maintained the mix of
hard-hitting beats, dirty basslines, detailed production and twisted sound
design that has set FTL apart from the rest. This is evident from the full-on
tech-breaks monster “Get High”, which was awarded Best Single at
Breakspoll 2007, to the electro mix of Lily Allen’s “Not Fair”, which was liked
so much that it became part of Lily’s live show and another remix was
subsequently commissioned.
Signed to the burgeoning Funkatech records, Far Too Loud has released a
string of singles and remixes that have found their way into the record bags of
numerous top DJs, playlists of top radio stations and tune-of-the-month slots
in major dance music publications. These include two three-part E.P. series,
“Louder Than Life” and “Music For Machines”, and the huge-selling tracks
“Play It Loud” and “You Know The Sound”, which both received “Best Track”
nominations in the Beatport Music Awards.
The recognition received through these releases has seen Far Too Loud
DJing all over the world including club appearances in China, Russia and
throughout Europe, as well as two US tours and regular appearances in
native UK. The FTL vibe has been a winner particularly at festivals and
rocked crowds at Glastonbury, Glade, Boom, Burning Man and many more.
2008 saw DJ sets from both the Breakspoll Awards and Glastonbury Festival
broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and also the introduction of a live laptop-based set
of all-original material, mixing up classic FTL tracks with new beats and
psychedelic effects into a peak-time dancefloor experience.
2009 has seen FTL change from duo to solo act with original member Dom
Smart leaving to concentrate on a new solo venture. Now under the sole
direction of Oli, who has already singularly produced key FTL tracks and is no
stranger to working solo under the name, the act is as strong as ever with
plenty of exciting things to come!
