After causing quite a bit of a pandemonium in Australia with his live gigs and shenanigans, shaking up dance floors, and releasing a pretty funky little album called Akimbo on Zomba records, Friendly took himself off to the Uk in 2001. Apparently, to break into an international scene with an increasing interest in breaks.
He landed in East london and worked with Chew the Fat, Paul Arnold, and they released albums (10 things you need to know about Friendly, Chew the fat at the end presents Friendly) fit for adventures in Fat parties at bars such as the End, The Bug Bar and The key, and at his own club night entitled The Caper. Friendly has also played Mother Bar, Rhythm Factory, Catch22, Board X, on Kiss FM, BBC1 with Annie Nightingale, Groovetech and Ministry Radio, all over the UK and over to Budapest.
He has released a swag of singles since being in london, which can be found on numerous compilations. The Bump and Grind is his. We got juice is another, let's fuck, is an as yet unreleased piece and the list goes on. With remixes from other break beat artists such as krafty kuts around the place too.
His current projects include a club night with Yeah Robbie, entitled klapp trapp featuring artists such as David E Sugar and Milke among others, he often plays at Trailer Trash, a lot around eastern europe and generally all over the place, back to Australia too.
He has recently rejuvenated his former label Gulp Communications, which is releasing tracks from a variety of his friends and collaborators through Beatport. Such as Friendly, Milke, [ucaRosa and Next Door But One, and news breaks on that as it comes to hand.
