“The music that I make can’t really be boxed in”
The unruly prince of electronica. The bastard son of electro bass music.
It’s been a busy year for Dee Freud, with appearances at Glastonbury, Beathearder, Boomtown and Jägermeister All Points East.
What motivates you and inspires your music and vibe?

“I’ve always been motivated by different genres of music. I’ve always seen it as a divide more of good music and bad music, and for me this is the only real difference in music. I wanted to put all my influences into my music and blend from one to the next, so I feel my sound is original and that’s what Dirty Freud should stand for – fresh and unique. I call my sound either electro-dub or electro-bass and i’m inspired by so many artists out there from all over the world – Hyena Kill, Bjork, Fatboy Slim, Skunk Anansie, Gary Numan… I could go on forever.”
