Rocking clubs and parties for over a decade now, The Freestylers are still one of the most exciting names in 
dance music. They've had Top 20 chart hits, headlined big festivals, sold half a million albums, toured the 
US supporting Lenny Kravitz, and were the first electronic act to play fully live on legendary BBC TV show 
Top Of The Pops.

Aston Harvey and Matt Cantor were both making different styles of music when they first met in London in the 
mid-90s. Uber-engineer Aston had been half of pioneering breakbeat hardcore act Blapps Posse, getting busy 
with cuts like 'Buss' It' and 'Don't Hold Back' before going on to work with Definition Of Sound, Rebel MC and 
DJ Rap. Matt Cantor, meanwhile, was recording with Andy Gardner from the Plump DJs as Cut 'N' Paste and 
Strike for the fledgling Freskanova label.

Discovering a mutual love of hip-hop and electro, Matt and Aston started making tracks together. The first 
record they sampled was old skool electro classic 'Don't Stop The Rock' by Freestyle Express, and the resulting 
track 'Drop The Boom' on Scratch City Records launched them as The Freestylers - the non-genre-specific name 
with hip-hop connotations fit them like a glove.
