This is the first of another two-part episode of The Untz Podcast, this time with Freekbass. Primarily known in most circles as an outrageous funk bass player, Freek has actually been producing electronic music for quite some time. In addition to touring with many notable musicians, Freekbass has been putting in time with his latest projects Headtronics and Freekbot.

On today's episode, Freekbass talks about his early days in the Cincinnati scene, meeting Bootsy Collins, and developing his very unique style. We also theorize about what Buckethead might smell like. Freekbass muses on his relationship with DJ and producer Tobotius.

Tomorrow on The Untz Podcast, Freekbass discusses some more of his collaborations with major players in the music industry, as well as the impetus behind his latest album Concentrate. Join the conversation by following @theuntzpodcast on Twitter!
