Freddy Todd is as legit as they come. His musical background as a kid has lead him to day. Freddy reps Detroit hard and is ready to show you whats up. It&#8217;s been almost a year that I&#8217;ve been waiting for a copy of this release. Neon Spectacle Operator debuts a grand picture of what Freddy has going on. This two disc LP is just the beginning and only another landmark day to embrace Freddy&#8217;s talent. There is no way I could list all my favorites because each tune slays with heavy bass lines and sullen  melodies.</p>
<p>I assure you each and every tune on this LP will get you moving. The opening tune describes it perfectly with the sample, &#8220;I make it easy for you to bop to this.&#8221; Get ready for an incredible journey into bass, dubstep, glitch, idm, etc&#8230; Freddy will have you hooked from the start and just when you thought you had enough the 2nd disc starts up.</p>
<p>Be sure to check out Freddy at a city near you. I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of getting to spend a week-end with him and Elfkowitz when I brought them into Miami during summer of 2010. Super awesome dude to be around and from the moment of meeting him you know Freddy means business. He really knows whats up with music whenever he talks about it. It&#8217;s great to see this release finally appear a few days after <a title="Elfkowitz Prolific EP" href="http://afromonk.com/2010/12/elfkowitz-artist-spotlight/" target="_blank">Elfkowitz Prolific EP</a> dropped. Detroit bringing it!</p>
<p>Pick up a copy of the album on Additech featuring collabs with some of the most talented producers in the game: Black Mic, ill-esha, Joe Mousepad, Lila Rose, Augusta Morrison, Elfkowitz, Unc and Athena Koumis.</p>
<p>BUY: <a title="Freddy Todd - Neon Spectacle Operator" href="http://add.tc/P67424" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Freddy Todd &#8211; Neon Spectacle Operator</a></p>
<p>Preview:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll never forget the first event I attended where I heard dubstep live, ViRam WMC event and caught Plastician&#8217;s 2 hour set. Never had I imagined Miami had such a hidden movement. That night wiped me out for days&#8230; We didn&#8217;t leave the club till around 5am after Evol Intent closed the night off&#8230;</p>
<p>This is when I knew Dubstep was alive in Miami. Months past as I saw all the events going on but never ended up going for undisclosed reason&#8230; 2009 brought me back into the scene. Boy was I surprised to see how much stronger the community had grown. Old and new familar faces. After the closing of Black Sheep on South Beach it seemed like things were going to change but no one knew if it was going to be a hamper to the community. Little did we know this was going to bring to light a new event all bassheads would look forward too, Get Low!</p>
<p>The first Get Low brought in talent of Dj Lord of TriLLBaSS! His scratching skills tore through the crowd and hyped everyone for the monumental night which put Get Low on the map. The Vagabond blew up with a new sound that was new to the block. Miami Dubstep had a new night to show off it&#8217;s talent and whompy bass orginating back from the old Miami Bass days. The sound was new but everyone felt nostolgic when they felt the low frequences blasting through them. Dj Lord didn&#8217;t let up and showed us how a Public Enemy DJ gets down.</p>
<p>I unfortunately missed the 2nd Get Low but boy did the third one KILL it. Get Low 3, Mr. N-Type came all the way from the UK to muder the place. That night was WILD. I actually ended up injuring my foot real bad and paid terribily considering hours later I&#8217;d be flying out to Chicago for Lollapalooza. N-Type absolutely showed Miami what was up dropping exclusive dubplates everywhere. The sounds of Benga&#8217;s iTunes was a big moment knowing that he was one of the few who was dropping this track. After his set I made sure to introduce myself and give him a huge Big Up for a killer set. He simply replied, &#8220;Sure you are a bad man, you were skanking the whole time I saw you&#8221;. HAHA Miami Dubstep represent! After flying into Chicago word got out that Get Low broke Vagabond&#8217;s record attendance for Thursday. This was a huge statement! Miami Dubstep and Get Low is just getting started&#8230;</p>
<p>Joe Nice is one man that lives up to his name! I was disappointed when he missed that night at ViRam but wouldn&#8217;t have that memory of 2hr set from Plastician. There is a reason Joe Nice is probably considered one of the biggest American Dubstep DJs, this man is seriously nice as can be. This man only touches wax and the type that you probably won&#8217;t see for months. He brought it hard yet with such hypnotic vibes. Bigg tunes from Skream, Calbrie, and Untold dropped. Be sure to check this guy out on his montly radioshow. He&#8217;s always cracking jokes and participating in the chat room.</p>
<p>The last to hit the Get Low stage was legend Mala from Digital Mystikz. I had the pleasure of catching Skream and Benga the night before and catch Mala for a short chit chat. It is clear where this man pulls the music from&#8230; He&#8217;s deep. Talk about a guy who has some dubplates and hypnotic sounds in the bag. Mala showed Miami has repeatedly show this town about meditation on bass is and he didn&#8217;t hold back this time at all&#8230; Highlight of my night was seeing him drop a record and seeing the word &#8220;Tron&#8221; on the label spin around&#8230; Won&#8217;t forget the first time hearing Tron on a big system&#8230; Thank you Mala for an unforgetable night. That is one way to put these Get Low events&#8230; unforgetable.</p>
<p>Think that line up was big? Ha, Miami get ready because some of the next people lined up for future Get Low&#8217;s are MASSIVE. We&#8217;ll be seeing Borgore all the way from Isreal bring his filfthy hard whomping bass style to Miami. It&#8217;s going to be a sight to see him drop his track &#8220;Love&#8221; after at the last Get Low it went absolutely mental when it got dropped&#8230;  The serioussss sounds of Noah-D will be most likely be in our near future. This man is no stranger to Miami so expect an set of big tunes just for Miami. The big event which has been highly anticipated is one of the member of the Purple Trinity, Joker. Don&#8217;t sleep on that because Joker has done no wrong ever since his began releasing his tunes. He doesn&#8217;t come alone either. MC Nomad is coming along for the ride to show Miami how he gets down on the mic. It&#8217;ll be big to catch Nomad live after listening to him along side Plastician for the past 2 years almost every week.</p>
