Los Angeles’ Total Freedom is a bit of an unsung hero, one of those figures who seems to have his hand in just about every cool event in the City of Angels, even if his name is rarely sitting at the top of the flyer. He’s a key member of the Fade to Mind crew, and although his track-producing partners Kingdom and Nguzunguzu might grab more attention, Total Freedom just might be the best DJ of them all. Yesterday, he put those skills on display with a new mixtape for Opening Ceremony. Granted, it’s not a listen for the faint of heart, as he fearlessly traverses grime, R&B, new age, drum & bass, hardstyle, and tropical bass, not to mention a litany of indefinable points in between.
Next Friday, Total Freedom will be putting his talents on display at the next Fade to Mind party in Los Angeles. For those of us not in Southern California, this new mixtape should serve as a substantial consolation gift.
