Freestylers

UK breakbeat duo Matt Cantor & Aston Harvey

Freestylers stand as one of the UK’s most influential breakbeat and drum and bass acts, renowned for their dynamic productions and electrifying live shows since forming in 1996. Founded by Matt Cantor and Aston Harvey, this group has carved a unique identity in the British electronic music scene, consistently pushing sonic boundaries and earning a reputation for genre-defining beats and energy-fuelled performances.

In March 2026, Freestylers joined Dub Pistols as a support act at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds for an Album Launch Show, a highlight in their recent slate of live music appearances. Prior to this, they headlined Boilerroom in Guildford in July 2025, delivering a set that underscored their ability to energise crowds with seamless breakbeat rhythms and signature basslines. These gigs reflect their enduring appeal and deep connection with their audience in the UK’s vibrant club scene.

With recent albums such as Other Worlds and its remix counterpart, plus the forthcoming Enter the Sound scheduled for release in March 2026, Freestylers continue to be at the forefront of breakbeat innovation. For those passionate about live electronic music, keep an eye out for Freestylers as they appear alongside genre heavyweights like PLUMP DJS and Krafty Kuts at C2 in Burnley in August 2026.
