Adam Freeland HATE EP

Adam Freeland’s first release on his Marine Parade label for over two years, Hate is a peak time slice of slimy, grimy, minimal funk. Freeland has been using this track as a crowd baiting, peak time monster in his live set up for the best part of a year, and its clear why. Fat brooding synth st...
