Freaks UMakeNoSense EP

A. UMakeNoSense (Original mix)
B. UMakeNoSense (Radio Slave’s Rekid Riddim Remix)
Digital only: UMakeNoSense (Radio Slave’s Music For Freaks Remix)

Label: Crosstown Rebels
Released: 18th January 2010
Distribution: Kompakt
Cat no: CRM055 

Back after a two-year hiatus following their top 10 hit with ‘The Creeps’, Freaks launch their next episode with ‘UMakeNoSense’, a mind-bending electronic monster package complete with two Radio Slave remixes.

UMakeNoSense is a distorted trip into psychedelic territory through a minefield of cosmic energy. This is music that appeals to the mainstream and the dark underground, a formula that Freaks have achieved time and time again. Radio Slave has become renowned for his epic reworks, producing some of the best-loved remixes of the past few years. He doesn’t disappoint with an expedition through low-end and high-octane stratospheres shaking out the groovy beast within the track through two original reworks.

Freaks was originally the brain child of Bournemouthʼs Justin Harris and London-based Luke Solomon, but mutated through its live format into a 6 piece outfit incorporating the infamous Jonny Rock on guitar, Sascha Darroch Davies on drums, vocalist Stella Attar and Rub on bass, journeying through filter disco, quirky mid tempo house and minimal techno to cement their own revolutionary style.

With three albums behind them and a seminal label we know and love as Music For Freaks, they created the top 10 hit, ʻThe Creepsʼ, built around a story written by a friend that had accompanying music and animation to boot. However, the success of the record created an underlying pressure that weighed very heavily on the band and it was through sheer frustration they both decided to take Freaks back to itʼs roots. The time where there was no pressure, just fun to be had. The result was UMakeNoSense – a two fingers to their struggle and a mad record that they wanted to make as Freaky as possible.

It was like an epiphany and a new awakening all at the same time. This new chapter lead to them go back over old ideas, realising that they had a mass of material they needed to be heard and reheard and so as a precursor to the forthcoming single on Crosstown Rebels, Freaks are releasing a “Best of Times” compilation. This includes songs from all three studio albums, some unreleased stuff, and a masterfully mixed free studio set that will accompany the album on iTunes. There will also be the gift of a free EP of unreleased instrumentals to accompany the promo of this release. Promising to mesh of all their electronic, disco and leftfield pop influences, this will undoubtedly re-introduce their fans to a whole new level of freakish behaviour.

DJ Colette - solid tune from start to finish!
Joshua Heath - solid work… I would expect nothing less. good chuggin material, i think another way is my fav, but the dancefloor will tell.
Massimo Dacosta – So happy to receive new materials from the knights especially if Nica is involved into it. Both tracks are insane but my fav. is “no resistance”. Should def. brings some damage on the floor. give me more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raoul Belmans  – both cuts wicked! future house !
Jay West  – as always …on point!! great dancefloor tracks…both are trippy and groovy like all house should be
Deron Delgado/Stompy – I like the way the vocals are used on No Resistance and the very interesting, yet funky beat underneath. Will play for sure!
Jazzy Eyewear/So Sound Recordings – Classic Superb Chunky Hipnotic grooves & quality come strait from the Midlands. Absolutely love No Resistance! Will bang ASAP!Mes/Guesthouse - Well into this release!. This takes me back and reminds me why i fell in love with Nott’s house in the first place;) Nice work fellas!
Fred Everything - Nothing to be said about Knights that hasn’t been said before. Their stuff goes straight to the dancefloor, no questions asked!
Lawnchair Generals - Stompy beats and classic IK production. What’s not to love?
Jason Hodges - IK never fall short of dancefloor perfection!
Axel (Kolour Recordings) - yet another chapter to add to the legacy that is drop music. fierce, driving beats touched by the sultry vocals of the up and coming nica brooke – a name that i have been seeing a lot of these days. no resistance is definitely my pick and is going right into rotation! full support from kolour recordings.
Da Sunlounge/Myna Music – Hot out the AGA hey! Some nice sounds going on, been playing Another Way in my sets for a few months.. goes down very well.. I’m sure this will be a cross over ep for many of DJ.
Giom  – Awesome 2 tracker guys!! Both tracks are absolute smashes and totally true to the Inland Knights sound! Sick production. Full support!

Inland knights “Refuge Remix” of Joshua Heath’s “I refuse” has spent 3 weeks at no. 1 on Stompy.  The track is taken from his killer EP on Drop Music.  ”Refuge” is a great remix with full support across the board.

Soon to be released is Inland Knights’ remix of The Soundiggers “Lowdown’n’blue” from the Full English EP, out on Spatula City.  Expect the groovy IK’s treatment and trademark production on this one, not to be missed!!

Inland Knights’ remix of Crazy P’s “The Hit” will soon be released on Kolour Recordings.  With the tempo knocked down a couple of notches and dirty analogue basslines, this has been knocking people for six!
