Freek Funk is a studio album by British techno producer Luke Slater, released in October 1997 by Novamute Records as his first album for the label and his first for a major label. The album was among Slater's most personal works to date, and his intention for the album was to record music that went beyond the four-to-the-floor nature of techno and push the genre's barriers, resulting in an eclectic, minimal album that also incorporates funk, acid techno and electro styles. The album varies in tone, with aggressive techno tracks and softer, less upbeat material.

The album varies in tone, with aggressive techno tracks and softer, less upbeat material. The album was promoted by the single "Freek Funk," and was also Slater's first release in the United States. The producer supported the record with a live tour. Upon release, Freek Funk received critical acclaim and helped popularise Slater's music. It went on to influence many techno and breakbeat producers, and is today hailed as an ambitious album. In 2017, Mixmag named it the fifth greatest techno album of the 1990s. (en) |
