U podrumskom prostoru Old Bridge Puba u Osijeku u subotu 5. srpnja 2008. održat će se “Pum up the funk” večer. Kao što sam naziv kaže, cijelu večer će biti funk-breake glazba, mješavina starog funka s modernom elektronikom i break ritmom.
Glavni gost dolazi iz Grčke, DJ Basement Freaks čiju biografiju i diskografiju možete pročitati u nastavku teksta, a osječke snage predstavlja već dobro poznati osječki DJ Umbo.
Basement Freaks project started in 2005 by George Fotiadis a self-taught multi-instrumentalist from Thessaloniki/Greece. Started playing music in 93 where he was the songwriter & guitarist of an indie rock band. After many years working in his home studio George started composing & producing the Basement Freaks sound in 2005.
Debut cd album "Urban Jungle"released by Music Kitchen records a label based in Thessaloniki/Greece. The album got positive feedback from some great producers in the scene such as:Stereo Mcs & Kraak n Smaak.
Remixing various artists like Chris Joss/Rephrase/Ed Royal/KBbonus for some very well knowed labels as ESL music (U.S.A), Knowfool Records (AUSTRALIA), Invision Records (AUSTRIA), the Basement Freaks sound gets in the map of the global underground Funky Breakbeat scene.
Feedback comes warmer this time from producers like: A.Skillz,Flow Dynamics, A.G.F.A,Smoove,Q Dup Foundation, Fort Knox Five,Valique who support the Basement Freaks tunes!
