Continuing their onslaught of releases and paving the way for their sixth studio album, Freestylers are ready to unveil a brand new single. Featuring the mighty Scarlett Quinn on vocal duties, ‘Fabulous’ landed on the 11th June.

After launching their new album with the euphoric, uplifting ‘Happiness,’ the veteran duo is revisiting their funk roots, infusing sounds of the 70s with innovative synth stabs, next level production and that inimitable Freestylers touch was only ever going to have one outcome. This is a seriously danceable tune that’s ready to soundtrack the summer. Plus, it comes with a heavy disco remix by new NYC production duo HillSide. 

Their forthcoming album ‘Other Worlds’ delves into a mishmash of drum and bass, hip-hop, electronica, dub, breakbeat and everything in between. It also showcases incredible talent from across the globe, including Plump DJs, Blapps Posse, Laura Steel, Spyda, Tenor Fly, Hyperactive MC, Mad Doctor X, K-OSS and Scarlett Quinn. On creating the new record, Freestylers added:

“We were feeling nostalgic, so went back to our roots bringing what we think is the new sound of the old school”

The Freestylers have had a career that most could only dream of, having earnt their place as one of Britain’s most revered dance acts of all time and selling over a million records since their creation.
