[EVENT] ADAM FREELAND RETURNS THIS WEEK!

It's been a few years since Adam Freeland has stepped foot in the city of Boston. On May 24th we will once again have the pleasure of welcoming Adam into one of Boston's best underground venues; Axis Boston! This is one Volume Productions and Boston Breaks collaboration not to be missed. Opening duties provided by Boston's own DJ Melee with a special opening set by Fig making his first appearance on the big room! See you there!!!

"Adam was one of the key founders of the UK breakbeat movement. His Coastal Breaks mix series was the first of its kind by many years. He intially was half of 'Tsunami One' , famous for their hit- Hip Hop Phenomenon. Then later formed his own band 'Freeland' and released the debut album " Now & Them'. The main single 'We Want Your soul', with its anti main stream sentiment, hit a chord with many and ironically became a top 40 chart hit in various countries round the world. His remixes of Nirvana ( Smells Like Freeland) and White Stripes (Seven Nation Freeland), were the first 'breaks/rock' bootlegs of their kind and have become legendary. He established the highly respected 'Marine Parade' label in 96, responsible, for Evil Nine, Ils, Beber amoungst many others and is also one of the most well established and heavily toured DJ's on the planet , he is known for his eclectic taste mixing up, electro house,breaks,rock,psycadelic grunge, Drum & Bass, whatever...Just good music."

[TENSION] MAY IS THE LAST MONTH! :-(

Soooo, as many of you already know May will be the last month of Tension. The last year and a half have been more than I could have ever asked for a Wednesday night and especially one that we built from the ground up. With that said, we have decided that we just need to put it to rest for while. Some have schedules that are just too damn busy and the weight of the Wednesday have basically run a few of us completely dry and without any personal time to work on music and focus on our personal lives and passions.

I will personally thank each and everyone one of you when I see you but you should all know that I am so very grateful for the support that has been shown to our Wednesday night and just express to you the great times we have had over the last year and half.

This will be nothing to get sad and upset over as we will still be doing occasional one-off parties and have also made arrangements with the new Thursdays at Axis that Volume will be hosting to help bring in some of our favorite guests that we have had the pleasure of bringing to Tension over the time.

Again, thank you so much to everyone who have supported! Let's lay Tension down to rest this month with a fucking bang!!!
