Freedust know this of course, as MB readers will be aware from coverage of their New Sunglasses single from February last year when it was anything but sunny – in the northern hemisphere at least.

FREEDUST: Take Me There/ Beleedat
Rating: 
How to describe new Freedust singles, Take Me There and Beleedat, both international affairs on which Italian producer Daniele Carmosino deploys Barcelona-based singer Saphie Wells and Puerto Rican rapper Bardo respectively?

FREEDUST: Heat
It’s all about the brand new retro-stylings from Italian outfit Freedust once again on new single Heat which kind of imagines what sixties R&B might sound like were someone to try and make it now without ignoring changes in technology, R&B trends and audience tastes. Which – er – somebody has imagined, clearly, since here is Heat and that somebody is Freedust. Cue an

FREEDUST: Waterfalls EP
Freedust return with more of their retro-tinged breakbeat grooves on new four-track EP Waterfalls. The first half of the release is instrumental, opening with the uptempo jazzy breaks of Chilling In which scatters summery warmth as it goes.

FREEDUST: Talk To Me EP
Talk to me? Oh what as in,“Maserati 3200. Talk to me!”? No, don’t worry, it’s not the return of Terry Tibbs but rather new material from Freedust in the form of their Talk To Me EP. This four-tracker is the follow-up to last year’s Jump Up And Down EP and kicks off with a brisk but sexy female vocal title track that does everything to reinforce the monkey’s previous description of the outfit as the

FREEDUST feat. SARINA LEAH: ‘Jump Up And Down’ video
If you were paying attention last year, you may well have caught Freedust’s Jump Up And Down EP from last year an uncharacteristically upbeat-sounding affair in these dark times with shades of both Skeewiff and St Etienne about it. The title track, you may remember, was a lively bossa-breaks affair with added surf guitar and featured the vocal talents of Sarina Leah. And what

FREEDUST: Jump Up And Down EP
Who’s this then – sounding like the lovechild of Skeewiff and St Etienne with their Jump Up And Down EP? Why it’s none other Freedust. No, not the cry you never heard from PCP dealers on 70s NY streets but a pan-European trio consisting of Italian Daniele Carmosino, Swede Lisa Widmark and Brit Sarina Leah. What a perfect example of pan-European co-operation. Indeed they’re just the antidote
