Biography

Roy Kerr, aka The Freelance Hellraiser, is one of the most respected creators of the UK bootleg scene.

He gained fame with a mash-up called “A Stroke of Genius”, which combined an instrumental edit of The Strokes’ track “Hard To Explain” with Christina Aguilera’s pop hit “Genie in a Bottle”. Freelance Hellraiser went on to remix Aguilera’s single “Fighter”, as well as tracks for Placebo and ex-The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft.

In 2004 he was commissioned by Paul McCartney to remix some lesser-known McCartney tracks as preshow entertainment for his tour of that year. Those tracks, and several more, have now been released as Twin Freaks.
