Stuff We Forgot Vol. 1

Three gems from the extensive archives of Freaks (Luke Solomon and Justin Harris), who should need little introduction to anyone with even a passing interest in the weirder end of good-time party-ready house music. On "Shrunken Heads (One Pro Mix)," the rock-solid foundations of filter house music collide with flamboyant synth noodlings for a truly cosmic result, while the slower, deeper groove of "Absolut Zero" is peppered with oddball effects-tweaking. The soulful sample licks of "Funk You (Who Do You Trust Dub)" wriggle and writhe through a laid-back atmosphere that shows off the range Freaks have sported since the mid-'90s.
