More old-school hip-hop, electro and ragga than big-beat techno (though they're often pigeon-holed that way), the Freestylers were formed by the trio of Matt Cantor, Aston Harvey and Andrew Galea. All three were British b-boys back in the day, and were heavily involved in Britain's dance scene by the late '80s, both as DJs and producers -- Cantor recording as Cut'n'Paste, 2 Fat Buddhas and Freska All Stars among others, Harvey as Blapps! Posse (author of the 1990 breakbeat classic "Don't Hold Back").
