(Freaks are available for DJ sets and live shows – live shows from April ’08)

Having built a huge cult following Freaks were catapulted into the mainstream in the summer of 2007 with a re-work of their underground classic from 2004, ‘The Creeps.’ ‘The Creeps [Get On The Dancefloor]’ was released by Ministry of Sound, becoming one of the summer anthems, the most downloaded-tune in the history of DJDownload.com and was licensed to major television advertising campaigns.

Luke Solomon and Justin Harris are currently working with a 5-piece band and co producing a new album with Peter Hoffman of Richard X fame.

Freaks have now completed production of their fourth studio album, Psych, which continues where the previous album "The Man Who Lived Underground" left off – anting and raving about life in general!!

Founder members Luke Solomon and Justin Harris, along with singers Stella Attar and Diz, strive to find humour in the things that irk them in day to day life. Almost a "Part 2" to "The Man Who Lived Underground", which followed a story of a man called Weaver, who decided to opt out from social life and build a new one underground (John Peel was inspired enough to play 2 tracks on his show); the theme on Psych follows a similar path but bases itself around a fictitious band called Black Shoes White Socks who, coming from an electronic background, find themselves battling against current trends of music and what's cool and what's not. Musically, it takes its roots from 70s ,80s and 90s dance acts just to prove a point. Bands such as Skyy, Talking Heads, the B52s and Green Velvet. Combining electronic rhythm with live instruments, Freaks set about fusing the new with the old and flying the flag for "dance music" (ultimately music you can dance too).

Freaks were originally born in 1994, the brain child of Justin Harris and Luke Solomon. They began recording for Phono, home of Herbert and Swag and their first few releases, which came in three parts, saw them journey through filter disco (The Shrunken Head), quirky mid tempo house (Journey's Through Happiness), and minimal techno (The Milwaukee Stance). Then came the time to set up their own label and they kicked off the Music For Freaks imprint by releasing a series of 4 12 inches, each with a collectable sleeve. MFF was also home for their albums, Meanwhile Back At The Disco, The Beat Diaries and The Man Who Lived Underground and tracks such as "Turning Orange", "The Creeps" and "Where Were You When The Lights Went Out" have since become Freaks seminal records (one of which blasted out of the underground and even found itself in the top 20 in Belgium, no less !!!!!!!!!!!!!). Freaks has also garnered support from the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Arthur Baker and Derrick Carter and throughout the years and the music, they have built a faithful and obsessive fanbase throughout Europe and Japan.

So there came a point when Justin and Luke knew that Freaks wasn't just about 2 blokes twiddling some knobs in a studio and hoping for the best. This had become the beginnings of a band with a purpose...

They always knew there would be a band but it had to be a case of the right place at the right time and so it all began a long time ago with their early work on their first album, the Beat Diaries, which featured Stella Attar on vocals. Then Diz came along, the male vocalist. Then Rub, the bass player and brain surgeon!! Then Jonny Rock, the guitarist, a long time DJ cohort. To the most recent member, Sasha Davis, the drummer.

And so Freaks the band was born and thankfully that means Psych doesn't just play out of your stereo but rocks your live stages too.
