With releases on
Dirtybird
,
PETS
and the mighty
Disclosure’s Method Records
, and a wealth of remixes for the
cream of modern music talent
including everyone from John Legend to MAUSI and Ella Eyre under his
burgeoning belt
,
Friend Within
is one producer that’s proved
consistently difficult to ignore
since bursting onto the scene in early 2013. Arguably best known throughout 2013 for the monster ‘Renegade Master’ refix released in October on Method that soon soundtracked many an international Summer party, Friend Within has steadily enjoyed a
growing wealth of support from all possible angles
. From guesting on T.Williams Rinse FM show & Skream & Benga Radio 1 show, repeated radio plays from Annie Mac, Pete Tong, B Traits, Mistajam, DJ Cameo and Monki, Friend Within will place the icing on the cake by delivering his debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix to air in early January 2014.
With
further support coming from a huge range of publications
including RA, XLR8R, Dancing Astronaut and Trap Magazine to name just a few, Friend Within has been living up to his name following an invitation to feature on the ‘Monki & Friends’ Red Bull collaboration project alongside Karma Kid and Yasmin for their track ‘Feeling (So Special).’ Friend Within has successfully carved himself a niche as the
go-to-guy for underground party music
,
licked with that commercial edge
: a fact proven by Disclosure inviting him to support them on their biggest ever UK headline shows to date.
There’s no denying 2013 was a great set up year for Friend Within, and with forthcoming releases to come on Hypercolour, plus shows at Warehouse Project / Chibuku / XOYO / We Are Festival, Annie Mac Presents, 2014 is shaping up to be fit to bursting with even more friends for Friend Within.
