"Stupid Fresh are the final word when it comes to quality jackin’ club music. Their records never fail."
Bass Kleph
"The Stupid Fresh boys help put this sound on the map. Their sound is always fresh and original. They have learned to adapt and stay way ahead of the game"
The Aston Shuffle
“Stupid fresh are the nasty sweat in my post-Algerian play off pants. In a dancey way. Because of them, I'd rather jack than Fleetwood Mac. And I love Rumours! Fact. ”
Lord Fader (The Loose Cannons)
If you haven’t yet encountered Stupid Fresh - without doubt the stupidest, FRESHEST purveyors of full-fat jacking house music anybody has heard this millennium - then well there hell have you been?
The duo - Tod Hodge and Chris Elliot to their mums - have very quickly risen from virtual unknowns to download chart-roasting, scene-leading heroes of international renown. And when they’re knocking out some of the most eye-wateringly effective dancefloor music of recent years, it’s hardly surprising, is it?
Stupid Fresh’s trademark blend of sledgehammer beats, elephantine bass, and lashings of groove has won support across the board from their peers, radio, bloggers and most importantly, dancefloors. The duo are also dab hands behind the ones and twos, commended for their sicker-than-an-ebola-outbreak sets, and have rubbed shoulders with names like Jesse Rose, Fergie and Richard Dinsdale. (The latter of whom they are lucky to still be on cordial terms with, after an unfortunate flatulence blunder in a DJ booth when they first met. It wasn’t just the tunes that were sick that night...)
The story began back in 2005 when the boys met a DJ competition in Leeds. Sharing a love of naughty basslines and 80s pop, they decided to hook up and make some beats. Little did they know of the monster they would create.
After getting mad props from the Leeds scene, the track ‘Ho’ was licensed by Chew The Fat! and took pride of place on Hook n’ Sling’s compilation for the brand in July 2007. The buzz soon grew. It wasn’t too long before Tod and Chris had hooked up with Bomb Squad head honcho Micky Slim, who snapped them up for the ‘Sticky Fingers’ EP, which sent download sites into overdrive.
Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of airports, clubs, parties and one or two embarrassing incidents along the way. Stupid Fresh have achieved everything from becoming virtual pop stars down under with their remix of The Aston Shuffle’s ‘For Everyone’ ramraiding the Aria charts at Number 1 and getting their tunes played by Moby, to being urinated on by a noted hard dance DJ (who shall not be named) in Ibiza. Judge Jules loved them so much after their appearance at Judgement Sundays in San Antonio that he invited them to stay another week, while a mammoth tour of Australia in 2008 led to Ministry of Sound selecting them for another Aussie jaunt this year. Safe to say, it’s been busy.
Now, as Stupid Fresh sit astride the world of electronic dancefloor music like a veritable colossus, continuing to lead where many can only follow, they’ve turned their attention to a new live project, and also have a mix album in the pipeline for Vacation Records. With all this and more to look forward to, all the signs are pointing to 2009 being stupider, and indeed, fresher than any since. Watch out world.
