The early formations of FREq began in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1990. Armed with a trusty AMIGA500, Octamed tracker, and a host of home made music gear FREq began to explore the depths of electronic dance music - shaping sonic structures influenced by early underground house and trance parties.
Since this formation, FREq has become highly regarded in the Australasian progressive/trance scene due to the success of radio playback, record releases and touring performances, such as; Rainbow Serpent Festival, Outback Eclipse (Australia), Sound Furnace4 & 5(Tokyo/Nagoya Japan), Earthdance (Melbourne), Alpine Unity (Castle Hill) and peek time sets at five Gatherings (Canaan Downs/Takaka, Nelson) - to name a few.
The first successful FREq Album, ALLOYS, was released on Positive Ion Records, New Zealand and was backed with a 12” EP on Euromedia, Germany in 1997.
The second awaited FREq album is planned for release on Iboga Records in April 2004 and represents a rich journey into deep, slick, and phat progressive music.
FREq is currently based at POLYGON studios in Melbourne, Australia. Active projects include collaborations and remixes with other international artists, including Antix and Sensient - as well as a host of forthcoming releases on Plusquam, Candyflip, Interzone, Iboga and many other progressive labels.
