Fat Freddy's Drop
Welcome to Fat Freddys Drop Official YouTube TV exclusive drops & classics from the vaults. Internationally regarded as one of the world’s finest live draws, Freddys hail from Aotearoa New Zealand, South Pacific. Hi-tek soul pirates, resolutely independent. Founded in the club scene in Wellington in 1999, Freddys sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp. It’s a potent mixture of virtuosity and diaphragm-wrecking digital sonics.
Fat Freddy's Drop : DJ Fitchie aka Chris Faiumu – MPC, Producer, Joe Dukie aka Dallas Tamaira - Vocals, Dobie Blaze aka Iain Gordon – Keyboard, Chopper Reeds aka Scott Towers - Saxophone, Tony Chang aka Toby Laing – Trumpet, Conway Jeune aka C-Way Green – Guitar and MC Slave aka Mark Williams.

What’s cooking in the kitchen? We’ve been slamming handcrafted Cevichán Habanero Salsa on our kai, a gift from Román Pérez who makes the salsa in Sweden using recipes from his family back in Mexico. Mil Gracias. It’s lovely stuff. Freddys taco king, Chopper Reeds matches the hot salsa collection with a Lamb Barbacoa and pickled onions, avocado and lime crema recipe. Saludos!
