The Freaks - Indeed we are talking about
Luke Soloman and
Justin Harris.com Lukes involvement in the music industry began almost ten years ago when in 1992 he was hired to buy dance tracks for an old soul record shop in North London. Not content with toiling away in a retail position, he soon formed a recording partnership with his co-worker
Ty Holden and completed remixes for labels such as
Freetown and
Black Sunshine. Soon after Freetown picked up the young Luke to work in promotions for their rapidly expanding dance label that went on to sign such acts as
Robert Owens, Master at Work, Kerri Chandler, Ron Trent and
Lee John.
Luke has been incredibly busy as of late. Current work includes performing on percussion and vocals with his band
Freaks, which features a six-piece band with lead singer
Stella Attar, on keyboards
Justin Harris, Guitar,
Johnny Rock, Bass
Ty Holden and
Sascha Darroch Davis on drums.
Aside from producing Freaks, Luke and partner Justin Harris have been asked to produce 2 new songs for forthcoming Robert Owens album. Other producers working on album include
Roberto Mello, Dixon, Ame and
Kirk D'Giorgio.
Justin has been DJing since 1987. He started producing records in 1994 and three years ago, teamed up with Luke Solomon to create the Freaks project.
Twenty-eight EP's and over
thirty remixes</b> later, the Freaks are steadily gaining respect and rave reviews from the global house music scene. On their own [b]'Music For Freaks' label they have released ten EPs along with their first album
'The Beat Diaries; all of which received high critical acclaim and are continuing to sell worldwide. Harris and Solomon will also release a label compilation entitled
'Some Freaky Stuff' followed by their second album early next year.
During his musical career Justin has also recorded with Luke Solomon under various guises such as
Robotic Movement, Freesoul (with Diesel) and
Oliloqui to name but a few. Their tracks were for such seminal house labels as
Classic, Phono, 20/20 Vision, Large, Seasons & SSR. Justin has also recorded his own solo projects as himself or
Philippe Maurice for
Classic Sensory Productions, Monkey Fruit and
Refried amongst others.
