Over the last couple of years, we’ve had an amazing number of requests from both established and new up-and-coming producers to remix, redo and re-interpret original Freaks tracks.
In these moments, I’m always humbled to think that the music we made over the years still inspires the house music scene of today.
Of course, we also absolutely love people playing around with our music; it consistently produces inspirational and surprising results every time….
So, I’m very proud to kick off the 1st in our “Re-Freaked” series, which will see Freaks tracks transformed through various mutations, emotions, circumstances, and situations, then re-visited, re-freaked, and born again by producers we admire today.
This first release features 2 of my personal favorite Freaks tracks and both include the ever-stunning vocal skills of our beloved fellow Freak, Diz Washington.
First up is ‘Situations’ taken from the Freaks album, Psych and which features a genius flute performance from the wonderful Antipodean jazz multi-instrumentalist, Nathan Haines. It has also had a brilliant reworking from Dave Aju too.
Going back further into the vaults, You Ain’t House’ just had to be re-done! Originally released on Wash House, with a Swag (aka Chris Duckenfield & Richard Brown) “We Is House” remix, this still stands the test of time for me.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
