TRACKLISTS: A SIDE: REMOTE CONTROLAASIDE: DYSTOPIA
SHORT INFO: “I can remember literally bolting across a busy warehouse party in the early 90's (I think it was actually DIY in Gloucester?) afterhearing a record come on which immediately stood out to me, hadn't heard it before.... A clear 303 single note bassline/hook with sublime strings and undeniable flavours of Detroit and Chicago in the drums and vibe. I needed to know what it was!!That record was "Northern Lights" by Caucasian Boy (AKA Crispin J Glover and David Jenkins, AKA DJ Shakra), and I have honestly been playing it ever since. Fast forward 28 years, and here we are releasing their new acid house monster, the Remote Control EP”Justin Harris Remote Control immediately puts youback in the warehouse or one of those dark, sweaty basement parties which have shaped manymusical educationsover the decades, you know, when things are just starting to get really involved! Beginning with a relentless 90's feel and withmore thana nod to early 90's Belgian Techno, Remote Control steers you through a perfect six and a half minutes of heads down warehouse acid groove, all culminating in a kick-ass gorgeous breakdown. And then there's Dystopia.A deep, dark 909 driven cut of excellence. You can hear in every bar that the purveyors of this track have a deep experience of and are driven to write for the dance floor. Once again, making perfect use of 303, 909 and 808 (amongst others) Dystopia pullsno punches and shamelessly leads you right into the middle of that sweaty dancefloor, and it's perfectly executed deliverykeeps you right there.

Dan Ghenacia & Chris Carrier - No Title
The tag team are back with another club-ready release bringing together their combined experience and production prowess. Dan Ghenacia and Chris Carrier are long-time friends who’ve been working together in the studio over the last few years, resulting in a series of EPs on labels like Apollonia, Adult Only and, of course, Music For Freaks, for whom this is their second release. On the A-side ‘Vocalized’ comes at us full throttle with a powerful bassline and crisp, punchy beats. The vibe is unrelenting with a neat call and response vocal clip and a simple, catchy melody in the top line, keeping it hypnotic. Funky, groovy and full of potent energy from start to end. On the flip ‘Burning’ has a similar aesthetic, with taut drums and bass, plus a range of unusual sounds to add depth and character. Indecipherable vocal clips pop up occasionally, and the pace picks up as the track hits the midpoint. A repeated siren-esque effect locks you into the groove, keeping you hopelessly hooked until the end...

Freaks - Freaks - Turning Orange - TCK 808 Fate Mix
Special remarks: 12" with printed deluxe sleeve, 180g
... Villalobos, Martinez Brothers, Tuff City Kidz and Freaks all on the same record? This is the type of house music madness that dreams are made of.
A fitting start to the celebrations - we reckon you'll agree! ...
Tracklist:
A1. Freaks - He's Angry - Villalobos Techmix
A2. Freaks - Unbeknown to Us
AA1. Freaks - Time - The Martinez Brothers Remix
AA2. Freaks - Turning Orange - TCK 808 Fate Mix
Short info:
2019 marks the year that Music for Freaks has officially been running for over 20 whole years. Two decades of topsy turvy, downright Freakish behaviour. How the hell did that happen?
So, what better time to delve deep into the labels vaults again and uncover more of its hidden treasures. Back in 2015, we approached some of today's most discerning producers, those who truly "get" the label's ethos from old, to let them loose on tracks old and new. It brought to the fore the "Freaks - Let's Do It Again" series of releases and we're super chuffed to bring you the 3rd in the series to kick off the label's 20th anniversary celebrations; a new collaboration with likeminded artists and we think you'll agree it's another testament to the divergent & insouciant house music that has always been the beating heart of this label.
First up, we welcome back the Chilean anti-hero Ricardo Villalobos.
When we sent Ricardo the parts to the Freaks album, "The Man Who Lived Underground" a few years ago, he sent back 5 interpretations which blew our collective minds. This is the 3rd of his journeys. Edited by head Freak, Justin Harris, it delivers a tripped out, discordant tech mix of the Freaks track, 'He's Angry' and is a wonderfully warped and highly hypnotic jam, that drives deep down into the subconscious.
The 20th anniversary wouldn't feel right without some brand spanking new music from Freaks themselves.
This track was properly hidden in the Freaks DAT vaults from the 1990's and Justin & Luke have dusted it off, mixed it down and "Unbeknown To Us" will finally see the light of day. It's safe to say Freaks have always had a timeless feel to their music and this track, despite being 20 years old as an original production, is no exception.
Next up, The Martinez Brothers make their MFF debut and to say we're chuffed to be releasing this one after 3 years of it being in the vault, is a huge understatement. There's nothing but good vibes, cranked to eleven, on this cut and the brothers have cooked up a true rip snorting tech house remix of "Time", that will charm the roof off any self-respecting club or festival tent.
And last but by no means least, fellow previous collaborators on Let's Do It Again, Part 1, Gerd Jansen and Phillip Lauer, aka Tuff City Kids, have graced us with another superb remix of a firm Freaks favourite from back in the day, "Turning Orange". The duo have whipped up an excellent stripped 808, electro-hop mix with low slung electro beats, minor key atmospherics and nostalgic 80s vocal pitch-shifts. Villalobos, Martinez Brothers, Tuff City Kidz and Freaks all on the same record? This is the type of house music madness that dreams are made of.
A fitting start to the celebrations - we reckon you'll agree!

A1. They Sleep We Love feat. Foxxee
A2. They Sleep We Dub feat. Foxxee
B1. They Sleep We Love feat. Foxxee (Sev's Bay Area Remix)
B2. They Sleep We Love feat. Foxxee (Foxxapella)
Shortinfo:
After a wildly successful collaboration on Thatmanmonkz's "Turn It Out" from the LP, Columbus-ing, Dave Aju suggested they should continue their production streak for a new percussive tracks project.
At the same time, Aju had finally kept his word to legendary Bay Area club/underground MC and personality, Foxxee aka Foxxee Brown aka Lawrence Petty, to work on a track together as well. Petty being a core part of the infamous Ya Mama's House radio show on 106 KMEL alongside Pete Avila and David Harness that introduced legions of young Bay Area DJs to real House Music, includ-ing Aju, in the early 90s.
While Aju & Monkz had originally been working on more of a slick club romance narrative angle over some robust tumbling drums, some very tragic news had struck their hometown - at an under-ground event in Oakland California, more than 30 people including many dear friends and stalwarts of the local dance music community had been trapped inside a building and killed in a fire that broke out while doing what they love, in the now-infamous Ghost Ship.
Lawrence and Aju immediately acknowledged and agreed that the track should serve as a tribute to the event and the loved ones affected by it. But decidedly, rather than it being a solemn requiem of sorts, it should reflect the communal power, strength and uplifting spirit of the underground scene they all helped build and knew so well.
At first entitled They Sleep We Live, a representative reference to the iconic arm tattoo of the late Jonny Igaz aka Nacht, one of the more well-known and active DJs whose life was lost that tragic evening, and a lyrical direction idea for Lawrence for a direct tribute to the SF Bay Area scene, it was then decided that a universal underground anthem angle would be far more appropriate and that brothers and sisters from around the world in scenes just as the deep and expansive as the one in the Bay Area are a part of what happened - an extended family for real.
Aju and Monkz then imbued the track with some flavor and attitude that evoked their own respective rave scene heydays - from early Cajual/Relief style fuzzy drum knocks to a filtered voiced bass line nod to MAW. The track was then unintentionally renamed They Sleep We Love by hands at the Music For Freaks label office, who loved at first listen and agreed to release it, a happiest of fitting acci-dents followed by fellow dance floor maverick Seven Davis Jr hearing the tune from Dave Aju, and immediately offering an enthused and upbeat remix. Aju paired the cuts with a nasty They Sleep We Dub version for the later-night DJ moments, and a clean "Foxxapella" so Lawrence's loving words can be heard and felt directly, fast forward through a bit of processing time, and now the rest as they say..

A1. Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad) Anna Wall & Corbi Remix
AA1. Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad) Jamie 3:26 Punk Funk Version
Shortinfo:
Anna Wall & Corbi's take on Queen drummer Roger Taylor's 'Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad)'. The result? One of the most unlikely and essential party records of 2017.
Queen and house music: not necessarily the most obvious of bedfellows, but Music For Freaks has never been a label to take the path most travelled. Over the course of their de-cades long journey the label founded by Luke Solomon and Justin Harris has released uni-quely idiosyncratic dance music, establishing the label as a go-to imprint for those seeking imaginative, unpredictable records that still undeniably work on the dancefloor.
Their latest release might well be among the most out-there of them all.
Originally released back in 1984, 'Two Sharp Pencils (Get Bad)' is a record by Queen drum-mer Roger Taylor, featuring him on vocals as well as drums, bass & guitar. Now brought bang up to date via a fully official and endorsed remix courtesy of Anna Wall & Corbi, this overlooked album track looks set to become one of the summer's most essential records.
Born and bred in the UK, Anna Wall is a DJ, producer and label owner who is a key player in London's underground house music scene. Her label The Bricks champions up-and-coming producers, while Anna herself has DJ'd all over the world, most recently for Mixmag at Pacha for their IMS launch party.
Corbi is an Ibiza-based DJ and producer, A&R for the highly respected FINA Records and co-founder of Melon Bomb, a party and DJ collective that has in the space of just a couple of years become one of the White Isle's most talked-about exports.
Having met while working at house giant Defected Records some years ago, Anna felt that Corbi would be the perfect studio accomplice to work on the remix of 'Two Sharp Pencils'.
"I was honoured to be asked to remix Roger Taylor. It felt right to work with Juan as we have a really great workflow, and he'd just released his first single on my label The Bricks. We made it at his home studio in Ibiza and were absolutely inspired by our surroundings." Anna Wall
The remix of 'Two Sharp Pencils' is about as far away from a run-of-the-mill house record as its possible to get. Full of character, unexpected turns and moments of joyful brilliance, it's every DJs dream: a statement record that will illuminate every dancefloor and stage at which it is dropped.
"It was a great project to work on with my good friend and producer Anna Wall who had managed to get hold of the stems of this Roger Taylor track. We retained all the parts we loved and then added extra drums, synth parts and textures, really trying to stay faithful to the vibe of the original." Juan Corbi
The package also includes an additional version from Chicago's Jamie 3:26, who adds disco guitar licks and claps - as well as incorporating additional vocals - for his Punk Funk versi-on.

SPECIAL REMARKS : 2017 Remaster 12” with new (actual) MFF Housebag, 150g Vinyl
Tracklist:
A: Sure
AA : Angie's Fucked
Short info:
Repress of the original vinyl release on MFF back in 2001....
Newly re-mastered for 2017, Angie's Fucked and Sure are sounding bigger and better. Driving dubby deep house with freaky effects.
This EP was undoubtedly one of MFF's release highlights and C++ (aka Joshua, Circulation, J-Boom, C++, Free Energy, Stereo People, Dubwise and as Iz of Iz & Diz) needs no introduction having been making music for past 24 years and setting up Vizual Records with production partner Diz.
He's previously released tracks on label giants such as Prescription, Balance, Clas-sic, Junior Boys Own, OM and Guidance, working with the likes of Derrick Carter, Chez Damier and Cajmere.
Four Tet also chose to pay homage to this rarity by adding Angie's Fucked to his highly revered Fabric Live 59 compilation, released in 2011. The track sits comfor-tably alongside Burial, Floating Points, Red Rack'em, Ricardo Villalobos and Cari-bou, who all feature on the album too.
Make sure you play it loud and lose your mind in it !

Four Tet also chose to pay homage to this rarity by adding Angie's Fucked to his highly revered Fabric Live 59 compilation, released in 2011. The track sits comfor-tably alongside Burial, Floating Points, Red Rack'em, Ricardo Villalobos and Cari-bou, who all feature on the album too.
Make sure you play it loud and lose your mind in it !

SPECIAL REMARKS : 12” with black sleeve, 150g Vinyl
Tracklist:
A1 - ALIENS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION, B1 - PROPHET FUNK, B2 - MESSAGE TO THE STARS (DUBSTRUMENTAL)
Shortinfo:
Mr Tophat, an enigmatic Swedish house head who's awkward grooves and unconventional arrangements has heads nodding across the universe.
From Another Dimension EP was inspired by his addiction to the club tracks that Music For Freaks originally released, with Rob Mello’s No Ears Dub version of Discorobot in his top 10 tracks of all time.
Here, Mr Tophat generously serves up 3 of his textbook trips down the rabbit hole. This is entertainment for the freakiest of people. Aliens From Another Dimension is a squeeky adventure in sound, navigating the inner workings of Mr Tophats imagination and penchant for Sci-Fi.
Prophet Funk is a chugging, progressive slice of hip house surrealism. Its quirky call and response melodies and gawky vocals are straight out of an episode of the Twilight Zone.
Message To The Stars is a love song to the multiverse and the stars that reside within her. A funky breakbeat is underpinned by discordant melodies and lead lines that resonate with the head and the hear

Two of Paris’ original old school bad boys get together for the third in their special series of collabs. With fresh new releases already on the streets through their own labels, Apollonia and Adult Only, Dan Ghenacia and Chris Carrier step up to the legendary Music For Freaks with a brand new collection of delectable dance floor delights. Music For Freaks is back after a long break and this release couldn’t be anymore fitting for the highly-respected label’s relaunch. Full of vibrant flavours and addictive rhythms, Dan and Chris bless MFF with some irresistible Paris funk. Kicking off with ‘Vaporized’, a catchy little groover with dried out percussion which slaps down over a sultry bassline. Wibbly-wobbly FX combine with mysterious chimes and sketchy radio interference to create an odd atmosphere.Then we have ‘The Green Bell’, a squelchy heads-down vibe provider. ‘Wind And Fire’ brings the EP to a close and continues the duo’s use of strange sounds to great effect. This is no run-of-the-mill 4x4 production, there’s depth, subtle progression and hypnotic rhythms as only two seasoned pros like Dan and Chris can muster. An instant classic, what more would you expect from Music For Freaks?...

Tracklist :
A1. FREAKS - EIGHTIES THROWBACK (Villalobos Greiner Remix Two)
AA1.FREAKS - WASHING MACHINE (Soul Clap's Static Cling Mix) , AA2.FREAKS - ROBOTIC MOVEMENT
Short info:
For Let's Do It Again 2….Ricardo Villalobos delivers his 2nd remix for the label (2 of 5 !) which he's worked up, alongside studio partner Frank Greiner, into a confoundingly brilliant reworking of Eighties Throwback. Taking Freaks' original and already twisted sounds and vocals and twisting them up even further into another 14 minute (in it's edited form) piece of musical genius.
Free of compromise and thus fitting the MFF ethos perfectly, the track is a wonderful example of Villalobos wildly experimental dexterity. This is for all those dedicated to their turntable and the love of an awe inspiring journey into sonics and beats.
On the flip side you'll find a record from the other side of the house planet... Boston disco inspired, Soul Clap rework Diz Washington's vocals on the wonderful Washing Machine to funk them up to within an inch of their beautifully original understated life. Fresh from working with P-Funk orginator, George Clinton, their Washing Machine remix is a crisp, futuristic and downright freaky funkathon which will undoubtedly resonate at clubs and after parties for many moons.
And last but not least, an original track from Freaks - originally a remix, Justin and Luke recorded back in the 90's which never saw the light of day, they removed any references, renamed it Robotic Movement and released it on their album The Beat Diaries. Here they've re-mastered the original for vinyl (never having been available before on wax) and are very happy to be able to press up one of the tracks they've been most proud of throughout the musical history of Freaks and Music For Freaks.

Mike Dunn - Let'cha Love Fall Down (On Me)
Repress!
An artist who needs no introduction, Mike Dunn returns to the legendary NYC label Nu Groove with a four-track vinyl release that brings together disparate influences from the master’s encyclopaedic knowledge of genre and style.
What results are productions that are at once timeless, a quality that can only be achieved through the lived experiences of a four-decade career. Title track ‘Git’cha House On, Baby’ is a late 80s freestyle throwback, with hard synth lines running the show, while ‘Don’t Pay Me No Mind’ is a metropolitan anthem led by a solid piano groove.
Additionally, the vinyl features two tracks from Dunn’s ‘Rock Ya Body (Deepa)’; the lead, an effortlessly cool deliverance of pure, unadulterated house, and ‘Let’cha Love Fall Down On Me’ which swells and flows with addictive ease. Elevating all four compositions are the producer’s signature vocals, immediately arresting and suitable for all genres. Dunn’s status as an innovator was earned through creating and influencing the scenes we know and love today, and this new delivery of originals further cements his status as a 100% house master.

Inland Knights - Spent Up
Way back in 1998, following five years DJing and organising free parties as part of Sheffield's Smokescreen Soundsystem, Andy Riley and Laurence Ritchie joined forces in the studio as Inland Knights. They went on to deliver a huge amount of high-grade UK house music, but it was on this EP - here reissued for the first time in remastered form - that they first showcased their distinctively chunky, DIY-influenced sound. Check first the squelch-and-bump of soul-flecked late-night roller 'Mud Substance', before getting your ears around the dubby bass, hypnotic beats and spacey licks of 'Souldoubt'. 'Deep In' is a strutting, energetic affair full of raw analogue bass and mind-mangling effects, while 'Spent Up' is a tougher and looser slab of deep house funk.

Jesse Outlaw - Let It Go
Coastal Commission “Bring Down the Walls”
“Bring down the Walls” was a nod to Raze’s “Break for Love”, Robert Owens “Bring
Down the Walls” and Ritchie Hawtin’s use of the Roland 606 throughout “Sheet One.”
We gave the tune a Californian psychedelic twist with conga laden drums, a moody
synth, low pulsing 303 patterns + Benjamin Zephaniahs patois call to “Move the Body
Rhythmwize!”
The first PCH releases had dropped Worldwide to International acclaim from DJ’s far
and wide across the Globe with support in London, Paris & New York. However the
local scene here in L.A that preached “Love, inclusion & Unity” was anything but that.
L.A at that time was very tribal & divided up into 3 camps. If you weren’t affiliated with
any of them (aka independent) then you were pretty much locked out of getting any kind
of gig support or the Dj’s from those camps actually playing the music.
The local feedback from Dj’s was that what we were making wasn’t “house,” but
“Techno” which was absurd to me. “Bring Down the Walls” was a mantra to “move the
bod”y and in doing so “bring down the walls” of separation not just in L.A but throughout
society in general. Thank goodness for support from people like Terry Francis, Eddie
Richards, DJ Deep & Philly Stalwart King Britt.
After years of copies going for upward of $100+ on Discogs the now freshly remastered
copies by At Jazz’s Martin Iveson are finally hitting the platters this Spring.
Jesse Outlaw “Let it Go”
I met Jesse at Beatnonstop Records on Melrose Ave with Miguel Placencia in the late
90’s. Miguel (RIP) was a mainstay in the Underground scene and had always been very
supportive of my endeavors. He had had success with a huge release on Yellow
Orange and was working with Jesse under the moniker “When Worlds Collide.” I signed
“Brighter Days” & “Set you Free” from them and released the tracks on my Seductive
imprint. They told me that they were making the tracks on a Sony Playstation “Music
Now” program and I was like FFS “What.s more Underground than that!?”
Later Jesse gave me some of his solo work. The track “Let it Go” was never mastered &
only ever cut to Dub-plate and featured on my 1st PCH mix “Pacific Coast House
Sounds.”
It has now been mastered by Martin Iveson and is available in all it’s glory.
The dreamy vocal “You need to let it go” beckons over the top of driving percussive
Latin beats and church organ which is a great compliment to the flip side of “Bring down
the Walls.”
All in all two West Coast stompers now finally available remastered on PCH in Orange
vinyl.

Chez Damier / Ralph Lawson - Thank You (Ralph Lawson dub)

Chez Damier / Ralph Lawson - The Moment
Chez Damier and Ralph Lawson had a fruitful transatlantic hook-up decades ago in a famous farmhouse studio in West Yorkshire. The fruits of that session gave rise to some timeless jams - most notably on 2015's full length collaborative album Lost In Time - including the ones appearing here, though two have come in all-new forms. 'A Dedication to Jos', named in honour of Lawson's friend and late Back to Basics resident, is a mid-tempo sound with phased vocals pacing about the mix and a classic bassline that gets a slight Wulf Lost Tape edit. 'Thank You' then comes as a Ralph Lawson dub and has a darker energy rising from the moody bassline. Closer 'The Moment' then brings some soul with warm chord injections, supple spoken words and a cool as you like groove. An evergreen EP for sure.

Tripmastaz - Tres Cabezas
You can't fault the quality of the slabs of heavy house that Dungeon Meat puts out. The label headed up by Brawther and Tristan da Cunha is back with more wagyu-quality rhythms, this time from the Berlin-based Tripmastaz. He's a master of crafting the sort of muscular beats that get floors in a sweat and whether solo or next to heavyweights like Ricardo Villalobos and DJ Sneak. Here he shows his dubbed out signature sound with the swinging, garage-inflected 'Off Da Waxxx', raw New York thud of 'Double Trouple', percussive skip of 'NYC x LFO' and rough and ready 'Tres Cabezas'. Tasty stuff, as always.

Arno & Kuyateh - Hi
The mighty Trelik label has long led the way when it comes to the best minimal in the underground and nothing about that changes with this new one from German pair Anro and Kuyateh. They collide their creative minds on four cuts starting with 'All We Have', which, like many of the sounds on this label, fizzes with a light synth touch while rolling on frictionless drums. 'Crocket' is another luminous sound with dubby drum loops that are supple and seductive, as spaced out motifs up top bring a curiousness. 'Gametime' layers in some warped and molten acid sounds to dubby tech rhythms and 'Hi' is a final sophisticated closer for those who like it deft and deep.

Coastal Commission - Straight No Chaser

Coastal Commission - Rhodes Through Space
Growing up on the slag heaps of County Durham Northumbria, young Sam Robson dreamed of one day finding a better way & somewhere to live with nicer bloody weather! An avid record collector from an early age he looked to music for the answer…
Born in Bradford in the late 60's and growing up in the North-East in the 70's, alternative music fast became his obsession from punk, to new wave, two tone, rock and new romantic he collected it all. Electro and Hip Hop hit his local boombox in the form of "Crucial Electro" on StreetSounds Records and he was soon hungry for anything new & electronic coming out of the U.S.
His call was answered one day at school his mate Gareth (a fellow music enthusiast) lent him a 12" record from Chicago that opened up his mind & changed his course. The piano and gospel tinged record was none other than Marshall Jefferson's "House Music Anthem" that told him "to move your body" and that "house music was gonna set you free…' The rest is History. forward 10 years later to 1996 and Big Sam is now DJing a weekly House night in Santa Barbara alongside LA stalwart DJ Doc Martin. He lives just south of Santa Barbara two blocks from the Pacific Ocean in the sunny beach town of Carpinteria, (about an hour north of Los Angeles).
The warehouse is kitted out with a full studio set up of Roland Corp's latest & greatest but he also has the City Planning Commission breathing down his neck and threatening the boot as his residence unbeknownst to him had been built without any city permits! He is told that his only hope for keeping his building safe from demolition is THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION who protect everything 3 miles in on the entire California coast.
With the Coastal Commission on his mind & while managing L.A Dance Mecca music store "Beatnonstop Records" he meets fellow Brit, musician & house-head Chris Penny aka CPen. They quickly bond at The Cat & the Fiddle over a pint & early 90's rave and Jungle toons. Sam invites Chris up to his studio in Carpinteria for a weekend getaway from LosAngeles and a studio seshion. That night they stuff Chris's Rhodes piano in the boot of Sam's tiny Beemer and shoot up the coast on Highway 101 Carpinteria bound with their mate Lil Johnny "Toaster Oven."
After burning the midnight oil (with fellow studio boffin & PCH engineer "Evil Eye" Nate), when daylight broke "Rhodes through Space" was born. A mastering session was quickly booked and the white labels arrived a week later where they were quickly stuffed into a suitcase and it was off to South Beach/Miami to promote the track at for WMC aka Winter Music Conference. In quiet desperation and not knowing what to name the collective "COASTAL COMMISSION' featuring CPen was agreed upon and scribbled onto the White Labels. As fortune would have it, Sam would run into Philly House stalwart King Britt outside his hotel who was a regular customer at the store back in L.A. King would be one of the first peeps to receive a copy of the record. That night King invited Sam to the club where he broke the track at the Basement Jaxx Conference party party to a packed house alongside legends Daft Punk, Armand Van Helden & DJ Sneak.
25 years later the Coastal Commission are back, remastered and Cpen has since received two Grammys with Honey Dijon for their work on Beyonce's House album. "Rhodes Through Space" is a musical tribute to the club/rave/warehouse party that is still relatable to this very day.
