FreQ Nasty, aka Fiji-born, New Zealand-raised Darin McFayden, was the producer behind "Creator," Santogold's supersonic swingbomb single that detonated many a dancefloor in '08 and just might be the best track on one of the year's most extremely well-received albums. While that beat was arguably his big break, Nasty has been making moves in the drum and bass and breaks scenes for over a decade, producing and deejaying an impressive amount of diverse, subsonic material that not only informed his work on "Creator" but also the labyrinthine, genre-hopping mix he made for Fabric this year, Fabriclive.42. "Peacemaker" appears in its original form in the early minutes of that mix, but this dub version--a grinding amalgam of dancehall, breaks, fidget-house, and high-energy dubstep--is tipped to appear on his pending new artist album, due sometime this year but still lacking an unconfirmed tracklisting, release date, or label. If "Creator" and his Fabric mix are anything to go by, he'll be shattering enough basebins and year-end lists to make us forget those gnarly white dude dreads.

Sounds like: Santogold, Diplo, Switch
