“Stupid fresh are the nastysweat in my post-Algerian play off pants. In a dancey way. Because ofthem, I'drather jack than Fleetwood Mac. And I love Rumours! Fact. ” Lord Fader(TheLoose Cannons)

If you haven’t yetencountered Stupid Fresh - without doubt the stupidest, FRESHESTpurveyors offull-fat jacking house music anybody has heard this millennium - thenwellthere hell have you been?

The duo - Tod Hodge andChris Elliot to their mums - have very quickly risen from virtualunknowns todownload chart-roasting, scene-leading heroes of international renown.And whenthey’re knocking out some of the most eye-wateringly effectivedancefloor musicof recent years, it’s hardly surprising, is it?

Stupid Fresh’s trademarkblend of sledgehammer beats, elephantine bass, and lashings of groovehas wonsupport across the board from their peers, radio, bloggers and mostimportantly, dancefloors. The duo are also dab hands behind the onesand twos,commended for their sicker-than-an-ebola-outbreak sets, and have rubbedshoulders with names like Jesse Rose, Fergie and Richard Dinsdale. (Thelatterof whom they are lucky to still be on cordial terms with, after anunfortunateflatulence blunder in a DJ booth when they first met. It wasn’t justthe tunesthat were sick that night...)

The story began back in2005 when the boys met a DJ competition in Leeds. Sharing a love ofnaughtybasslines and 80s pop, they decided to hook up and make some beats.Little didthey know of the monster they would create.

After getting mad propsfrom the Leeds scene, the track ‘Ho’ was licensed by Chew The Fat! andtookpride of place on Hook n’ Sling’s compilation for the brand in July2007. Thebuzz soon grew. It wasn’t too long before Tod and Chris had hooked upwith BombSquad head honcho Micky Slim, who snapped them up for the ‘StickyFingers’ EP,which sent download sites into overdrive.

Since then, it’s been awhirlwind of airports, clubs, parties and one or two embarrassingincidentsalong the way. Stupid Fresh have achieved everything from becomingvirtual popstars down under with their remix of The Aston Shuffle’s ‘For Everyone’ramraiding the Aria charts at Number 1 and getting their tunes playedby Moby,to being urinated on by a noted hard dance DJ (who shall not be named)inIbiza. Judge Jules loved them so much after their appearance atJudgementSundays in San Antonio that he invited them to stay another week, while a mammoth tour of Australia in 2008 led to Ministry of Sound selecting them for another Aussie jaunt this year. Safe to say, it’s been busy.

Now, as Stupid Fresh sit astridethe world of electronic dancefloor music like a veritable colossus,continuing to lead where many can only follow, they’ve turned their attention to anewlive project, and also have a mix album in the pipeline for Vacation Records.With all this and more to look forward to, all the signs are pointing to 2010 being stupider, and indeed, fresher than any since. Watch out world.
