London’s Freeform Five collective has four members: lynchpin producer, multi-instrumentalist and chief songwriter Anu Pillai and vocalists Cabba, Tamara Barnett-Herrin and Nick Decosemo. Their music is an inspired mix of Prince, Blondie and Kraftwerk - thrown into the acid house blender. The group had a series of much admired releases including the club hits ‘Perspex Sex' and 'Electromagnetic' as well as an impressive string of remixes for N.E.R.D., Brian Wilson, X-Press 2/David Byrne and Jamie Lidell just to name a few. Perhaps more than anything else, it was their remix of Isolee's 'Beau Mot Plage' that alerted many to the fact that Freeform Five was no ordinary production outfit. Freeform Five, the band, are confident that what they’ve made stands up as unique document of who they are and where they’ve all come from. As well as co-writing a song for the latest Snow Patrol album, Freeform’s Nick Decosemo was even vindicated in his childhood music taste recently and got to record with his hero Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode and Erasure fame. Meanwhile Anu himself was able to fulfil a personal dream, flying out to the States to work on the final touches to the album with non-other than funk and hip hop mixing legend, Jimmy Douglass. On the DJ side of things Freeform Five continue with gigs everywhere between Ibiza and Australia, as well as with their infamous live performances.
