3 Foot People '3 Foot High & Rising' album

The debut album from FREDDIE CRUGER under his new alias THE 3 FOOT PEOPLE. Fans of his downtempo and dub reggae influenced singles on GAMM (as RED ASTAIRE), JUGGLIN and SWEDISH BRANDY will not be disappointed. A mix of jazz, hip hop, and soul. Incls the killer single "ON MY WAY" feat LINN. FYI: Chris Coco has been using the intro as the intro to The Blue Room on Radio 1. DJ friendly double vinyl with full pic sleeve. Out on FREDDIE’s own HOMEGROWN RECORDS.

“2006 is turning out to be a bumper year for Swedish dance music. Techno starlet John Dahlback’s productions are ruling the clubs, leftfield hip-hoppers Hearin’ Aid are winning plaudits for their excellent ‘Boom Lucy’ album, future soulsters Up Hygh are set to blow up and bootleg king Beatconductor (aka Beatfanatic) has just dropped an essential album of R&B/Latin funk cut-ups. If that wasn’t enough there’s also the small matter of this rather fine debut album from acclaimed producer Freddie Crugers’s 3 Foot High People project. Dropping on his own downtempo hip hop imprint Homegrown (a hint if ever there was one), 3 Foot High and Rising is a collection of dope beats so fragrant you can almost taste the ganja smoke. There’s dubbed out soundscapes, deep soul excursions (including the superb ‘On My Way’ with vocalist Linn), sampladelic beats and stoned funk aplenty, alongside the sort of sweet, jazz tinged hip hop instrumentals that would once have been called trip hop. On the whole, it’s impeccable stuff, expertly crafted downtempo fare that never descends into stoned sloppiness or identikit chill-out tedium. Then again, did you expect anything less from a producer of Cruger’s talent? Skin up, press play and inhale. 4/5”- I-DJ Review April 2006
