SPEEDOMETERS 'LOVER AND A FRIEND' VIDEO IS HERE!



Set up in late 2003

by Adrian Gibson, Freestyle Records has rapidly amassed

a consistently strong and impressive catalogue of fine and funky

releases.

Throughout the

full catalogue you will find an eclectic output from deep funk, jazz-dance,hip hop and

soul to afrobeat, breaks, latin, brazilian, disco and house. The emphasis is definitely

on quality and broadness, rather than perpetuating existing musical

genres, which has won fans as far afield as Mark Lamarr, Peter Young, Craig Charles, Kenny Dope, Gilles

Peterson, Norman Jay, Mr Scruff, Danny Krivit, Jazzanova, DJ Spinna,

Annie Mac, Quantic, Fort Knox, Kev Beadle, Spiritual South, DJ Yoda,

Mad Mats, Boca 45, Dr Rubberfunk and countless other DJs worldwide.



Below are just a few of the nice things people have said about us.

"Freestyle by name, freestyle by

nature.the releases cover Latin, soul, jazz, funk and breaks. Fun and

full or suprises!"

Mr Scruff

"Consistent & satisfying, one of the

UK's most eclectic labels"

Will Holland (Quantic)

"Absolutely massive for me out therelove

it!"

Norman Jay



"Labels as diverse as

this are not meant to exist - and anyway, it shouldn't work. By calling

the label 'Freestyle' it's given them carte blanche to put out what the

bloody hell they want because they're allowed to, and they have - a

delicious clash of all permutations of Black Music covering a thirty

year period. See? It does work."

Snowboy (Acid

Jazz/The Hi Hat)

"Freestyle rocks the

spot"

Scott Hendy (Boca 45/Dynamo

Productions)

"Not many labels describe a genre of music

(Acid Jazz, Motown, Stax) but this one does.one of my favorite record

labels out of London"

Paul Murphy (Afro Art records)

"The

Freestyle tunes keep getting better and better!"

Jon H (Fort Knox Five)

"More releases than a sperm bank and all

good!

Mark Robertson (Spiritual

South)

"Life before Freestyle must have been a

dull placejust how do they do it AND do it so well???!!!"

Pete Isaac

(Jelly Jazz)

"This label

continues to pave the way for UK funk on 45"

Gerald Short (Jazzman Records)



"As one of the most, if not THE most,

prolific independent record labels around, Freestyle always delivers

the goods. Whether it be a cheeky dancefloor cut-up, or deep &

jazzy b-side, this imprint always comes up trumps!"

Dom Servini (Straight No

Chaser)

"We don't have a feature on our website

called 'Freestyle, my new favourite label' for nothing you know!"

Phillippa (Piccadilly Records)
