Premiere: UK House Producer Freddie Frampton Draws on Years of Experience to Craft “Black Betty”
Returning to the fold recently after a lengthy break, UK house producer Freddie Frampton draws on his years of experience to craft a new stormer in the form of “Black Betty”.
Frampton has a hallowed history, having cut his teeth in Londonâs seminal nightclubs of the 1990s and finding success with his ventures into production. Holding down residencies at many of the capitalâs top venues and later playing abroad regularly as a touring DJ, he made a big name for himself before he decided to take an indefinite hiatus. Ultimately, the calling of his beloved house music proved too strong, and he recently returned to the studio with some amazing results such as recent comeback Keep On aside Marcellus Wallace on Noexcuse Music. Receiving support in Danny Howardâs Future Fire slot on his BBC Radio 1 Dance Anthems show, he was spurred on to create more dance floor gold.
“Black Betty” is a low-slung, groovy tech house monster that focuses around a classic, familiar sample from blues legend, Lead Belly.
âIâm a massive fan of Lead Belly, heâs a badass old-school wrecking ball of folk-singing awesomeness, with a fuck off tenor!â
