Ukraine’s AIKON meets Sobek in this masterful collaboration. A thumping breakbeat rhythm forms the backbone of this haunting track, where clanking chimes meander amidst shrill, bitcrushed, pitch-bending synth lines. A mystical breakdown lays down mellifluous flute motifs, brooding, buzzing bass and a mosquito of a synth hook that are all smashed into the ether when the pummeling rhythm kicks back into life. Play this loud, close your eyes, and you’ll be transported into another dimension.
Adrian Roman gets brutal on his heavy remix, drafting in huge tribal drum hits that are reminiscent of the Japanese taiko, contrasting their off-kilter rhythm with a solid deep techno backbone and really amping up the atmospheric melodic elements to potent effect. ID_UA takes things deeper on their remix, into more hypnotic territory where bleepy riffs and throbbing bass pummel you into submission, while Buba rounds off the reworks with a slick breaks version with a sci-fi edge that pushes the original into the depths of outer space.

I first met Diego in January 2005 when I was fortunate enough to visit Argentina on a DJ tour, we hit it off and have stayed connected ever since. Fast forward to now and the upcoming release of his superb Deal With It EP, written and produced by him and Diego Cid, under their D&D moniker.

Diego Ro-K and Diego CD are undoubtedly the main pioneers of the Argentinian underground electronic scene, with both starting their music careers in the 80s and building the scene through parties, club nights, compilations and radio shows. During the ’90s, outside of D&D, they also created the DJ crews, Urban Groove (Diego Cid) and DJ Union (Diego Ro-K) via which they flooded the country with the best house and techno music. They are responsible for bringing the likes of Juan Atkins, Ricardo Villalobos, Justin Harris, Murk, Woody McBride, DJ Hell, Michael Mayer, DJ Pierre, Vitalic and many more to play in the country. In 1999, they signed their 1st recording contract with EMI/Virgin, becoming the 1st techno duo to sign with an international company.

“As huge fans of MFF, we wanted to show the indie influence in our productions and in this case we also delivered some acid feel, always trying to keep the groove, which is the main idea of our tracks” (D&D)

It’s an awesome journey through the underground which absolutely stinks of class.

The 2 main tracks on the EP sit firmly in the dark corners of any nightclub, both completely original whilst retaining that MFF swing required from all of our releases… And with a belting remix from fellow Argentinian Nacho Bolognani (@nachobolognani), to bring a slightly more housier feel to the track, you can’t go wrong.

Oops, I think we did it again.

A long time ago them Freaks (Luke Solomon & Justin Harris) built a bridge with Chicago. It was a long Freaky bridge that absorbed a whole community of misfits. They joined forces and built a fort under the banner of Music for Freaks.
The fort was built to protect them from the normals - but also a place to build an army of associated miscreants that would slowly begin their attack on the offending world of bland dance music. The army grew and Freaks took to the road ....
