Press Reviews "Known to incite dancing frenzies..."LA Weekly 1998"Freedom's "Pine Angel" - is characteristic of the rare DJ who thinks in themes, building and breaking elements in sequence. Simple, yet beautiful vocal samples and complex drum and bass loops create an almost choral feel." - Urbnet.com, 1999
