After several years break, Justin Harris and Luke Solomon (aka Freaks) have decided to relight the Music For Freaks touch paper and grace us once again with groundbreaking sounds.
Spearheading the relaunch is a package of unearthed MFF classics from Freaks and Turner which includes remixes from Ricardo Villalobos and Tuff City Kids. Ricardo works his Leftfield magic on Freaks 2003 arty classic ‘The Man Who Lived Underground’, delivering a massive 12.33 minutes of Villalobos bliss. Germany’s Tuff City Kids re-shape Turner’s ‘Been Out’ and deliver a hot deep groove, drizzled with 80’s electronica, heavenly vocals and lush keys, primed to bring the house down. There’s also the original unreleased edit from 1999 of Freaks ‘Instrument’, ripe with it’s bubbling bass and a perpetual spacey synth hook that dances around their infectious funky beats. What a comeback!
