Freak The Speaker’ is an evolution of The Allergies trademark sound. Join them, as they celebrate music from new corners of the world. Mixing up their signature sonics, and showcasing their all-encompassing love for music. Upping their game each and every time, producers Moneyshot & Rackabeat bring their biggest beats to the table on this one and enlist some powerhouse MCs and vocalists to bring their tracks to life, and shake your sound systems. Afrobeat superstar, K.O.G, shines on the colourful, ‘Koliko’. New York native, Ohmega Watts, drops lyrical bombs over ‘No Flash’ with the veteran rhymer’s razor-sharp verses finding the perfect home over The Allergies toughest beats to date. Elsewhere, the UK rap tag-team of Dr Syntax & Skunkadelic trade tight verses over booming 808s on ‘My Own Way’, before Mercury Music Prize winner, Dynamite MC lights up his mic on the irresistible soul-hop sure shot, ‘One Time’. Fans of The Allergies funky, sample-heavy production are also well catered for with old school disco rap throwback, ‘Let Me Hear You Say’, coming off like a vintage roller boogie jam to die for. And the 60’s soul stomper, ‘Knock Me Off My Feet’, which has had tongues wagging ever since Craig Charles billed it one of his ‘Future Funk Tracks of 2024’ on BBC Radio 6 Music. Long-time collaborator and live tour frontman, Andy Cooper [Ugly Duckling], dazzles on his contributions flowing hard, where he’s joined by the band’s sax supremo James Morton and soul sensation, Marietta Smith who keep it nice and lively as always! credits releases September 20, 2024
