Born and raised
near Sheffield, England, Tim Fretwell was first introduced to
electronic music in the late 80s, early 90s, listening to
groups like Depeche Mode and New Order. His interest soon
turned to Dance music, with the breakthrough of artists like
The Prodigy, Altern8 and Moby. It wasn’t until the mid 90s
when Tim turned his hand to production, taking influences from
the sounds coming out of the USA – deep and sexy house from
the likes of Deep Dish and DJs back home, such as Sasha and
John Digweed.In the late 90’s when he sent off his first demo
containing several tracks to Computer Music Magazine, and got
his first track published on the cover CD, along with a rave
review. James Wilson – DJ and manager of the new up and coming
label Climax Recordings picked up a couple of Tim's tracks -
the first release on the Climax imprint was “Where to Next”,
and was given to Hellpass to remix. The follow up was “Glide”
with a remix from JBO artists Facedown; both releases gained
strong support from top DJs of balance promote US.It was when
Climax asked Tim to undertake his first remix project that
helped raise the profile of his music – the track was “Bad
Girl” by Paul Lancaster. It was this deep, sexy break remix
that was championed by John Digweed on Kiss FM, and also found
its way into the boxes of high profile progressive and breaks
DJs such as Sander Kleinenberg, Nick Warren, Jondi & Spesh and
James Zabiela. Liking the remix so much John Digweed himself
contacted Climax and asked for Tim’s remix services on a
future Bedrock release, which turned out to be the massive
“Dust” by Pole Folder and CP, with the Fretwell Mix and
Fretwell Dub being release along with remixes from The Flash
Brothers and James Zabiela in late 2002. Following on from
this Tim has gone on to remix for various labels including
Jono Fernandez "Colours Of Conscience" on Electrofly and
Bedrock's own track "Forge" for Bedrock Breaks. With his own
solo material also out on Electrofly, "Ember" - his profile is
rising fast. Tim is now back in the studio with various remix
commitments, and starting work on new projects for various
labels, 2003 looks set to be a busy year.
