Freaks - Instrument (Unreleased 1999 Edit)

Last month the electronic music community raised a glass in celebration of Luke Solomon and Justin Harris announcing the grand return of their beloved Music For Freaks imprint.

The pair have always been musical soul-mates, and following the release of Psych!, their first album in 11 years in 2014, Luke and Justin felt the time was right to return to the place that made them who they were throughout the ’90s and ’00s.

“The label was always about trying to do something different when the mainstream of house was getting a bit ‘samey’. There’s so much ‘noise’ in the industry at the moment and a lot of it sounds exactly the same,” explained Justin. To counter this, the duo plan to round up current producers who they believe truly understand the label’s ethos, and “let them loose on tracks old and new.”

Thus Music For Freaks returns with an EP from the vaults, featuring remixes by Ricardo Villalobos and Tuff City Kids, and already has work in the pipeline from the likes of Soul Clap, Argy and Mat Playford, Krysko, Honey Dijon, The Martinez Brothers, Wolf & Lamb and Djebali. “There’s some brilliant lost tapes amongst them ready to be reworked,” says Justin. “Music for Freaks and Freaks have always had a timeless feel to their music and for newly relevant and hugely established artists to get on board with us for the relaunch has been a wonderful testament to that.”

Excited about their return we’ve hooked up with Luke and Justin to premiere the ‘1999’ edit of their Freaks track ‘Instrument’ ahead of its September 25th release as part of the Let’s Do It Again, Pt. 1 EP.
