'Upward Spiral' is a 5 track EP from Freddy Todd.

Words will inevitably fail to properly describe Freddy Todd. Genre-busting could be an understatement. You can't pin him down with lexicon like lazer-bass and glitch-funk; these phrases fall way short of capturing the expressiveness, fearlessness, and space-traveling qualities of his music.

Hearing his music is akin to being abducted by an extra-terrestrial cruise liner where everyone is tripping on space liquid. And if you are lucky enough to witness him produce, you'll see that he fittingly looks just like the captain of said space cruiser, both hands intently gripping his electronics like the instrument panel on the flight deck.

Musical History:With heavyweight festivals like Coachella, Shambhala, Electric Forest, and Wakarusa to name a few under his belt as well as close ties and collaborations with rockstars like GRiZ, Space Jesus, Thriftworks, Russ Liquid, Mr.

Bill, and a handful of other wizard-level jest-stars, there's no stopping this weird and thunderous aerial roll. He most recently joined team All Good Records, a label in its infancy that was created in 2015 by his childhood friend, GRiZ, releasing his latest work, the Khrysos EP in 2015.

Prior to that, Freddy has released records with Gramatik's label Lowtemp (Golden Tremendous in 2014), and a handful of other indie-labels such as Car Crash Set who released his first EP ever "Ghost Dance Messiah" in 2009.

After that, Simplify Recordings was the label that spear-headed his first two adventurous full length LP albums, Neon Spectacle Operator and Painting In A Silent Eternity, both in 2011 about half a year apart, spanning 45 tracks between the two.

His 2012 full length follow up junior album, Sick In The City Alive In The Woods, took his production to an entirely new level, released with Australia's neuro-bass-funk label Adapted Records.Life History:Let's bring this back to earth real quick: his motown, soul, blues, jazz, funk, hiphop (and techno for that matter) roots are a given, being born just outside of Detroit in Southfield, MI in 1990.

Freddy moved out of his parents house immediately upon turning 18 lusting for the world and the creative juices it has to offer, living briefly in Ferndale, MI at first, then to the outskirts of a rougher part of the city of Detroit near 7 mile and Lahser for two years to live with his jam-tronica progressive rock synth-funk band "Tone Poets", producing for Scrummage hip-hop queen "Breezee One", and wrapping up his second full length studio LP on Simplify Recordings, followed by a year in Chicago working closely with good friend and producer Ludlow (Elfkowitz).

After living in the midwest until the age of 22, his sights were set on the golden west. Moving cross-country and living two years in the Bay Area, living in both the hood of West Oakland followed by the Oakland Hills while writing and releasing the "Golden Tremendous" album on Lowtemp and starting his next EP.

After soaking up the Cali vibes, he returned across country for a more wholesome less-congested life-style in the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains in the Appalachians of Asheville, NC (home of Moog Analog Synthesizers) to be closer to family, where he currently resides.

His earth shattering, meticulously programmed beats & rhythms; lazer crunk, funky psychedelic bass & sound design; and brain tingling, intelligently soul-soaked synths, melodies, & field-recorded samples are all sure to shake your consciousness silly as they blast through airwaves out of top notch sound systems across the universe while Freddy serenades you with 100% live & improvised get-your-booty-on-the-floor analog Moog synth and keytar, loop triggering, and percussive drum elements.
