Freeform Five is an electronic dance collective based in London headed by Dj/producer/remixer and chief song-writer Anu Pillai. The band also includes lead vocalist Tamara Barnett-Herrin backed up by Cabba and Nick Decosemo.
The 2004 debut album “Strangest Things” is an inspired mix of Prince, Blondie and Kraftwerk (thrown into the acid house blender). They also had a series of vinyl-only releases including "Perspex Sex", "Electromagnetic" and "Eeeeaaooww". Anu’s DJ mix albums Bisous Bisous II and Misch Masch came out in 2005 and 2006.
Freeform Five are well known for their remixes/reforms for artist such as N*E*R*D, Brian Wilson, X-Press 2 and David Byrne, Jamie Lidell, Justin Timberlake, Felix Da Housecat and The Killers. It was their much admired remix of Isolee’s “Beau Mot Plage” in 1999 that alerted many to this production outfit. They also had a hand in helping to re-work “Muscle Cars” by Mylo into a hit.
Freeform Five continue with dj gigs and live performances at clubs like Fabric in London, Manumission in Ibiza, Week End in Berlin, Razz in Barcelona, Paris Paris in Paris, Lux in Lisbon, The Parklife Festivals in Australia plus many dates in Scandinavia, America and Japan.
No More Conversations will be re-released in spring 2007 with several remixes including one from Mylo.
