Edits From The Underground
Freaks, AJ Christou
At the end of last summer, an old friend and once label manager of MFF sent us a link. This friend knows his musical onions (thanks Leon) and said that he really thought we should take a listen... The link was for a re-edit of DoobieDooWohoo by Freaks from up-and-coming house classicist, AJ Christou and yes, it was pure fire... The re-edit (name-checking Ibiza’s fabulous Ushuaia Club) was inspired by AJ’s appearances for Ants, the legendary club night, and had multiple plays by Jamie Jones and Martinez Brothers to name but a few, at the end of the last non-Covid Summer season, when we could all dance! Having already made some solid indents into the house music scene worldwide, including releases on Cuttin Headz, Leftroom, and his own awesome Celesta Recordings to say nothing of some enviable DJ sets flourishing from a residency at Sankeys Manchester, we are extremely proud to present this redo (doobiedoowoohoo). Backing up the B-side in a rather spectacular fashion, the incognito Maintenance took time out to re-edit an old Freaks classic The Rain too, (Woohoo) which rounds off our MFF 20th-anniversary celebrations very nicely indeed.
