Networks of artists, writers, musicians, technologists, film/tv makers, journalists, political activists, computer programmers, djs and other creatives.
Freestyle Junkies started in 1996 as a radio show in the north of England. Freestyle Junkies was always about friends. We give space for new electronic music and arts. Not so interested in eager egos and looking cool, we like humility! The music here is usually personal, not written to impress but more to express.
We've been running events for years, played as musicians and DJs in hundreds of events mostly in England and Holland. We've organised several international art events for young talents, interviewed and performed with many people but tried to keep a relatively low profile.
We will be releasing more of our artists as they finish their releases, watch this space.

Well why not bring over a French Breakcore artist? Like Rotator who will blast your Keegan wig off with his mentalist, rude bwoy, breakage ..then mash him up with one of the stalwarts of UK hardcore and a friend of the GGM Simon Underground who will nail your mullet to the floor, then spice things up with the Dub n Grind of Lone Wolf aka The Bloodied Blade, a Macam at a Keegan Rave!?! Who knows if the fabric of space-time can take it? Also we have our very own DJ Disorder b2b with Fun Size Jonny, rinsing out some cool & classic electro.. Finally rezi's UEP, armaged:DON & Backlash should help us celebrate the man that took Newcastle United to a fantastic 2nd place.. ages ago..
