Disfreq – The Limit [La Freq]
Irish brothers Disfreq launch their new imprint Le Freq Recordings, kicking off with the single ‘The Limit’, out on Friday 25th October. ‘The Limit’ captures Disfeq’s in-your-face, synth-heavy techno sound, one that can create pure carnage in clubs. The energy fails to falter throughout, as various synths whirr out of control, a raw distorted acid bassline growls into view and the track’s vocal refrain, “ drives the energy to the max. Disfreq explain: “We stripped it back on this one without loosing our signature sound, we were playing around with new kick drum samples and wanted a kick that had a lot of attack and bite but also held its warmth a bit like the main synth lead, we wanted the track to feel like electricity in its purest form and came up with a vocal to compliment it, simplicity was always key in this one and it’s been really a stand out track in our live sets.”
Disfreq have featured on dance music’s hottest labels, including Solomun’s Diynamic, Eli Browns Arcane, Patrick Topping’s Trick, Tiga’s Turbo Recordings. This time, the duo bring their distinctive sound to their own label, the brand-new Le Freq Recordings. “It’s a really proud moment for us both to be releasing this on our brand new record label “Le Freq” recordings it’s something we are both very passionate about and feel its a great way for us to Truly hone in on the sound of Disfreq, be experimental, and show you more than the tip of the iceberg in terms of our productions which I think you will hear a hint of on the other two tracks on this EP , “Sprite” and “The Writing is On the Wall” nasty but classy.”
‘The Limit’ follows Disfreq’s August-released two-track EP, ‘Turbo / Brotata’, which came out on Arcane Music. ‘Turbo’ is a colossal techno destroyer domineered by an alarm-like synth and a spoken vocal, while ‘Brotata’ is layered with crunching percussion and raw, haunting spectral synths. To complete this EP, Disfreq released a music video for ‘Turbo’ in August. Directed by AI-focused Warsaw-based director Bengt Tibert, its black and white visuals depict a chaotic scene of bodies morphing and merging in a disturbing way – a perfect visual accompaniment to the track’s sinisterly spooky sonics.
