Freaks

Freaks inhabit the strange, elastic space between tech-house and avant-garde pop. Their sound is defined by a 'wonky' aesthetic: basslines that seem to bend and stretch, percussion that feels tactile and handmade, and a sense of humor that is rare in electronic music. It is music that feels both highly disciplined and slightly unhinged, like a clock that keeps perfect time but makes a funny noise on every fourth tick.

What truly sets them apart is their commitment to the 'freak' ethos. While many of their contemporaries in the house scene aim for sleek perfection, Justin Harris and Luke Solomon embrace the grit and the oddity. They use vocals not just as hooks, but as character-driven narratives, often delivered with a dry, British wit that grounds the cosmic synths in a very human reality.

Start with 'The Creeps' to hear their most iconic crossover moment, then dive into 'Conscious Of My Conscience' for a masterclass in how to make electronic music feel alive, organic, and delightfully weird. It is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who finds standard club music a bit too predictable.
