Freeform Five is an electronic band based in London headed by Dj/producer/remixer and chief song-writer Anu Pillai. The band also includes lead vocalist Tamara Barnett-Herrin backed up by Cabba and other guests.

The 2004 debut album “Strangest Things” is an inspired mix of Prince, Blondie and Kraftwerk (thrown into the acid house blender). They also had a series of vinyl-only releases including "Perspex Sex", "Electromagnetic" and "Eeeeaaooww". Anu’s DJ mix albums Bisous Bisous II and Misch Masch came out in 2005 and 2006.

Freeform Five are well known for their remixes for artist such as N*E*R*D, Brian Wilson, X-Press 2 and David Byrne, Jamie Lidell, Justin Timberlake, Felix Da Housecat and The Killers. It was their much admired remix of Isolee’s “Beau Mot Plage” in 1999 that alerted many to this production outfit. They also had a hand in helping to re-work “Muscle Cars” by Mylo into a hit. No More Conversations was re-released in 2007 along with new remixes by Mylo, Fedde Le Grand, Mason, Switch and Subliminal Kid. Anu has also written with other artists such as The Glimmers, Mylo, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Richard X, Paul Epworth and Shinichi Osawa.

Freeform Five continue with dj gigs and live performances at clubs like Fabric(London), Manumission(Ibiza), Week End(Berlin), Razz(Barcelona), Paris Paris(Paris), Lux(Lisbon), The Parklife Festivals in Australia plus dates in Scandinavia, America and Japan.
