By admin on Jul 6, 2008 in DJs and Producers, Events
Still a young event, House Freaks has taken Croydon by storm with their last 2 events. Now back, bigger and badder, their next event looks set to truly go off! If you fancy hearing the best mix of commercial and underground house music, and you’re in or around the Croydon area you need to check this night out.
Taking a time out of their busy schedule, House Freaks promoters DJ Flee and Sonny Taylor, spend a few minutes talking about House Freaks with London Club City.
The following is a transcript of selected questions within the interview. To hear the full interview, please download the audio file using the “Quick links” box at the top right of this page.
What style of music is House Freaks playing? What’s it all about?
Sonny: Well House Freaks, you know, does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s anything from funky house, a bit of commercial house, all of the way through to dirty electo.
Flee: It’s just house in general - the best house tunes around! What people want to dance to, all clubbers!
Sonny: House is house.
So you guys have both DJ’d at loads of venues around London and the UK. What would you say has been your personal favourites in the capital?
Sonny: Turnmills, Turnmills.
Flee: I don’t know man. I have had some naughty nights. There’s so many. I was a resident at Factory for about a year, and I’ve had some funky sh*t go down in there. I think the best place in the UK was Hidden. It’s the one that sticks out for me. I’ve got some great photos and memories from there. Although not in the UK, Ibiza always sticks out in my mind. I played at a bar out there, at the top of the West End, and it’s why I carried on DJ’ing.
Sonny: I loved Turnmills. Turnmills, Turnmills, Turnmills! When I got told I was going to play at Turnmills I was like “Yeah I can do this”, but I was really nervous. When I got handed the flyer, I was like “yeah I can do this” but getting more nervous at the same time. Then when I turned up at the venue I saw my name on a 6ft poster with the likes of Judge Jules, and I just sh*t a brick – LOL! I managed to do my set, come off and I’d had a wicked time. Later on, another DJ came on, and he was a bit pants, and I got put back on to play a graveyard set!
After your next event, on the 19th July, what are your plans for House Freaks?
Flee: Just getting the night established really. Obviously things take time and we just want to get it established.
Sonny: We’re looking to run two nights in August. We’re looking at Venues to throw the two different nights at two different venues.
Flee: As it stands now, things have been really busy putting plans in place for the future, and things are going a lot smoother than they did with the previous parties which is a good sign.
Guys, you do a London radio show, can you tell us a bit about that?
Flee: It’s on Select UK, and they throw the Heavyweight House parties which is a big, big night. Trust me, it’s the nuts. We’re on the station Saturdays 3pm-6pm. It’s the drive time show for all of the people driving around in their cars. We play the best house music around, throughout the whole of London on 99.3FM.
