Freaks

Luke Solomon and Justin Harris “literally tripped over [each] other” first at a warehouse party in the 90s, and finding mutual means and worldviews - a rebellious streak, a desire to make music that shared their DIY ethos, and a love for instruments within ‘dance’ music - they began making music together, with no specific plan in place. What came out of it, however unplanned, resulted in an enduring musical partnership that’s now spanned twenty years, a label, three albums including ‘Psych!’, a long-awaited follow-up to 2003’s heralded ‘The Man Who Lived Underground’ and an avalanche of releases across everywhere from Playhouse, Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels, Eats Everything’s Edible Records and Rebirth Records to their own Music For Freaks imprint. It was a bond coming from, in their words, “the stars aligning”, and a journey that went from the underground basements to the sublime and ridiculous heights of the charts and back again, leaving them older and wiser. They are testament to a combination of tenacious work ethic and sheer bloody mindedness in a tumultuous career. A career that has seen the duo re-appear triumphantly in 2015 with the full re-launch of Music For Freaks as a vinyl and digital label. www.musicforfreaks.com
