Recent bizzness:
Remixed the new single from Darren Hayes (ex-Savage Garden), titled Me Myself and I. The Andrew Friendly remix went on to be number 8 in the Upfront Club Chart, and number 2 on the Commercial Club Chart in Music Week. Also, the most recent Friendly 12" on iO Music (Ride Baby Ride) was licensed by Klaxon's for their Bugged Out Mix.
As well as doing this Friendly stuff, I also do my band Milke, produce for Black Peter, and sometimes for Roxy Wilde (Kim Wilde's little sis) and some stuff with Sexual Hot Bitches. I also run a record label Gulp Communications. All in my top friends. And just for fun, I do One Hour Rave.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/30/2005
Band Members: Andrew Kornweibel
Influences: Early rave, old funk, old school hip hop, house, electro, a mispent youth, getting chills when a DJ dropped Hardfloor, loads-a-breaks and electro/house producers, Stevie Wonder, Stuart Price (the new Brian Eno!!), The Orb weirdly enough, Steely Dan, Grace Jones, Eurythmics, Hot Chip, the new French wave, the new German wave, the new Belgium/ Canadian wave, Grandaddy, The KLF (read their book, it's awesome).
Sounds Like: Graham Gold (Kiss FM) "Let's Fuck is COOL" James Blond "Girls love it, boys love it, let's get DIRRRRTY & lets FXXK"

Capoira Twins “Friendly just goes from strength to strength. He was always f*cking talented to start with, but nowadays he's really coming into his own. I wanna buy 10,000 shares in Gulp right away!! “

Colin Peters (Manumission) “Yee - haaagh! As you can probably guess I quite like The Horse. Ride em rough cowboy! I also like the sexual hot beeaches mix of Lets Fxxx. Hilarious and very danceable”

Russ (Cuban Brothers) “Lets f++k/jack..whatever lets just have it..(and this does)”

Virgin Tears “The Horse is a HUGE record for me. Road tested last night. As expected, overwhelmingly great response. Fucking proper. Bravo. Front of the bag for WMC”

Harper (BIS Polski Radio) "D Ramirez will should became purple hearing this"

Chris Fortier “Tough and rough”

Fuzzy Hair “Another bomb from Gulp Communications.. I gonna gettin a fat weekend with these bombs”

Johnny Mikes “Will be using this to get the electro crowds to shift a gear”

Richard Murray (Housexy) “Mad in a good way, good job”

Princess Julia- Revoltage
Next up and busy boy Andrew Friendly gets track ‘Adultery’ ready for a slam-out on a floor near you… Andrew Friendly vs. Luca Rosa (his mate) have got together for an instrumental outing here, musical beats ‘n’ blips make for something rather stylish… I can feel me toes starting to get shuffling as we speak, nice one boys!
